Chapter 2 The Family’s Punishment
Amos Granger’s eyes shot wide open when he heard footsteps approaching him from far away. It was already morning.
“It’s me!” Harley Louis walked over quickly. “It took me a lot of time to find you. It’s good that you’re still alive.”
Amos’ dark eyes dimmed a little.
“Are you seriously injured? Are you okay?” Harley spoke as he gathered Amos’ tattered clothes. Amos had several deep wounds inflicted on the vital parts of his body. Fortunately he carried some special medication with him, otherwise he probably would have died.
With a serious look, Harley said in a deep voice, “They will really do whatever it takes to kill you!”
“Good that you know.” Amos pushed Harley’s helping hand away and tried buttoning his shirt.
An ambiguous mark was left on Amos’ body. Harley grabbed Amos’ hand and asked, “What’s this?”
Upon inspecting the mark, Harley realised that it was a hickey. He immediately jumped up. “The Granger family is really ruthless. Not only did they stab you until you can’t move anymore, they actually sent a woman to seduce and insult you. They knew that you hate women, yet they deliberately do it to make you feel disgusted! Where did she touch you?”
Amos knitted his brows as he recalled last night’s incident carefully. ‘Disgust him? If they really wanted to insult him that way, they would not have sent such a woman here. Plus it was the woman’s first time last night, and…’
Amos suddenly remembered the addictive pleasure he had last night and how intoxicated the woman made him feel. His eyes quickly lit up in desire.
Harley was frightened when Amos did not say anything.
“Please don’t tell me…? Did you really…?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Harley remembered the last time when a woman recklessly touched Amos’ finger, his whole body was covered with rashes and it took a very, very long time before he got well. If he really slept with a woman, it’s really bad news.
“Are you really alright? Do you have rashes? Oh no, I forgot to bring the medicine. Don’t worry, I’ll remember this and take revenge for you in the future!” Harley started blabbering.
“Shut up!” Amos helplessly stared at Harley, “Send me to the hospital now!”
Harley just remembered that Amos’ wounds were more serious than the rashes.
“I’ll take you to the hospital now!”
…
Eudora dragged her aching body as she slowly walked home.
The man wasn’t satisfied with just having done it once. They went for it a few more times, and by the time they were done it was almost dawn.
As soon as she opened the front door, she saw Laura stomping towards her. “Oh you still know how to come back? You’re the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family, and yet you went out all night. Tell me, where did you go?”
Eudora was tired so she ignored her.
Laura grabbed Eudora’s clothes. “How daring of you to act so rudely to me? Did you forget how your family begged our Felix to marry you? ”
Eudora snorted coldly and pushed Laura away. “They begged you so you should go and look for them!”
Laura accidentally pulled Eudora’s collar, revealing the marks on her neck.
“You!” Laura’s eyes widened. “Eudora George. How dare you cheat behind my son’s back! I’m going to teach you a lesson.”
In the conservatory, Laura made Eudora kneel on the ground in front of her, her face contorted in anger.
“Are you going to tell me or not?”
“I don’t know!” Eudora looked at Laura viciously and felt triumphant at the taste of sweet revenge.
“You don’t want to tell me? Let’s see if I will beat you to death or not!”
The cane landed on Eudora again and again. The pain made Eudora curl up and her hair was soaked in cold sweat. She smiled wryly. “Your son can drink and have fun outside, but I can’t even find a lover outside? He doesn’t have any self-control or respect for his wife, that is why I cheated on him. This is revenge! It’s only fair!”
Laura was so angry that she staggered backwards. She repeatedly hit Eudora with the cane.
“Do you think you are still the eldest daughter of the George family? Your family ran out of luck a long time ago. If it weren’t for our Felix, who pitied you, you would be even worse off than a beggar now. How dare you ask for fairness and justice? I’m going to teach you a good hard lesson today!”
The cane landed on Eudora’s head and she fainted from the final stroke.
