Chapter 658 Rejection

Despite her disdain, Beauty was utterly convinced of Daniel's ability to keep her safe—she had

witnessed his fighting capabilities firsthand. This country bumpkin was formidable in combat.

"Beauty, think this through! We're talking about Purple Gold Hill! Do you know what kind of place

that is? A location where a Spirit Cat can appear signifies a forest rich in spiritual energy. And

there's more than just the Spirit Cat in those woods. Wolves, leopards, poisonous insects, and

serpents—they're all there. And you think you can make it out of there alive with just this country

bumpkin and no support team? If you want to survive and get off Purple Gold Hill, the best—no, the

only option is to join my team. Sure, after we catch the Spirit Cat, it'll be mine. But Beauty, if you

marry me afterwards, I'll be the boss of the next generation of the eight families, and you'll be the

boss's spouse. That way, you won't be losing out on anything!" Smart attempted to persuade her

with an air of confidence.

"Smart, you must be joking. What on earth are you? Marry you? In your dreams! I'd rather marry

this country bumpkin than a nothing like you!" Beauty's face was filled with revulsion. She feigned

contempt for Daniel, but for Smart, her revulsion was genuine and intense. She had known Smart

for a long time and was well aware of his vile acts. Only seeing him brought disgust to her mind.

Smart was notorious for attending deplorable parties frequented by a variety of socialites, models,

internet influencers, and celebrities on private yachts out at sea. While Beauty had never attended

such indecent gatherings, she had seen photos and videos—shocking and repulsive. The

shamelessness of those involved, the lengths they would go for money, was abhorrent. The men

who participated were no better—all devils in flesh, scum of the earth. She believed the government

should take serious measures to deal with them.

"Beauty, as the heiress of the Matthews, marrying such a country bumpkin would be a disgrace to

your family!" Smart pressed on.

"When did I say I was going to marry him? I only told you I'd rather marry the country bumpkin than

you. So, Smart, you can't even compare to him. The country bumpkin might be a bit rustic, but at

least he's clean, unlike you—you're filthy and disgusting!"

Beauty's rejection didn't seem to bother Smart. After all, they had grown up together, attending the

same nursery and elementary schools, and he was all too familiar with her contempt for him from an

early age. But the more she despised him, the more he was determined to conquer her, to have her.

"Beauty, you might regret talking to me like this! When we reach the depths of Purple Gold BEST

and you find yourself in utter despair, don't beg me for help. If that time comes and you do ask, it will

come at a great cost—a cost so high, I'll have to think about whether I'll intervene," Smart warned

seriously, already scheming in his head.
