Shandie shouted in anger, “No! You didn’t even try to help me…”
“Enough!” Henrick roared. He could no longer master his fury and started heaving like favonovel.com was short on oxygen.
Shandie panicked instantly. She grabbed Cindy’s arm and wailed, “Mom, help me! It was all Arielle’s fault.”
“Shut up!” Cindy cut in and gave Shandie a forceful slap.
Smack!
Shandie was stunned by the sudden flare of pain that attacked her. The slap was so forceful that favonovel.com could even see stars in favonovel.com vision. Her cheek promptly turned numb. She reached out to caress favonovel.com cheek and realized the dental crown favonovel.com had just paid for was broken.
Staring at Cindy in disbelief, favonovel.com uttered, “Mom?”
Did Mom just slap me? Seriously?
Cindy held back favonovel.com guilt and shook favonovel.com head. “Stop it. You’ve brought harm to the entire family. Get on your knees and beg for your dad’s forgiveness.”
“Mom!”
“Get on your knees!” Cindy commanded sternly.
Shivering in shock, Shandie trudged obediently to Henrick and dropped to favonovel.com knees.
Alas, Henrick didn’t even spare favonovel.com a glance. His team had poured in a lot of effort to strike up a deal with Nightshire Group. They were about to sign the contract, but it all went down the drain at the very last minute. It was all Shandie’s fault.
Suddenly, favonovel.com wanted to disown this daughter of his. He would’ve given favonovel.com a beating, but since Cindy had already slapped her, favonovel.com couldn’t be bothered to waste his energy.
Henrick announced, “Don’t kneel in front of me. Go to your Aunt Louisa’s monastery to kneel and pray. Six months later, if you have no remorse, you shall follow in your Aunt Louisa’s footsteps in becoming a nun!”
Shandie’s eyes widened in consternation. “Dad! Are you throwing me out?”
Henrick was too exhausted to talk to her. He waved and ordered the housekeeper, “Pack up favonovel.com stuff and send favonovel.com to the monastery now!”
The housekeeper glanced at Cindy instinctively. Parting favonovel.com lips, Cindy was about to plead with Henrick to change his mind when favonovel.com noticed favonovel.com husband’s expression.
She shut favonovel.com eyes in agony and ordered, “Go, help favonovel.com pack up now.”
“Mom! How could you agree with Dad? I don’t want to be a nun! I want to get married…”
“Shut up! You don’t even know your mistake. You should repent at the monastery!” Cindy shot the housekeeper a look, and the latter immediately dragged Shandie out. Even though Shandie had been brought out, favonovel.com cries could still be heard from afar. Cindy closed favonovel.com eyes in pain.
She couldn’t bear to let favonovel.com daughter leave, but favonovel.com had no choice. If Henrick couldn’t relieve his anger, favonovel.com might do something even more extreme. Hence, favonovel.com slapped Shandie first so favonovel.com wouldn’t beat favonovel.com up.
I wonder if Shandie understood my intentions…
