The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Timothy loomed over Stefan, his tone solemn.

"Don't just sit there! Give me your hand.

I'll teach you a lesson!" Stefan was silent as he put the cutlery down.

He extended his hand, not a trace of resistance in him.

"It's all my fault.

Punish me as you see fit, Grandpa." Renee was flabbergasted.

She wondered why Stefan was so submissive, even more so than Adie when the boy was punished.

Stefan could easily defend himself; in fact, he could simply leave.

Timothy wouldn't be able to do a thing to stop him.

Yet, the unexpected happened.

Stefan obediently extended his hand, waiting for Timothy's punishment.

Renee was puzzled, uncertain as to what she should do.

Should she beg for Stefan's mercy, or just watch everything unfold silently? Regardless of her choice, whatever she decided on would be too sudden.

She felt so awkward, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.

All she wished was to hide.

"Humph! You know very well this is all your fault.

A pity you never amended your wrongs.

You're so stubborn, you're just asking for a beating!" Timothy's ruler came down Stefan's palm, hard.

While the beating seemed to be for show, the ruler's impact on Stefan's palm was nothing short of painful.

Timothy was once a soldier, so his strength wasn't something to scoff at.

Both Renee and Edith watched nearby, overwhelmed with anxiety.

They could feel the pain Stefan had to endure, and broke into a cold sweat. "Master, please stop!" Edith cried.

"Don't beat him anymore! Master Hunt needs his hands to conquer the world.

If you keep doing this, you'll break them! Please calm down and stop, Master! Stop hitting him, please!" Edith cared deeply for Stefan, and felt as if her own son was being hit.

As she watched him suffer, her heart ached.

Despite the risk, she begged for his mercy.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"The world? He can't even keep his family! He can't talk about conquering the world at all!" Timothy snarled, furious.

He exerted more force in his beatings, refusing to stop.

"TI told you.

He's been so thoroughly spoiled, he has no idea what responsibility is! He needs some beating.

If he considers the consequences of his actions, I wouldn't need to punish him like this today.

He deserves this! If I don't hit him, he'll never grow!" At first timothy simply wanted to put on a show to fish for Renee's sympathy for Stefan.

With him as the instigator, he could

bring her and Stfan closer Stan closer together

just like how he had done in the past.

Yet the more he punished Stefan, the angrier he became.

He started recalling the preposterous things Stefan had done all these years.

They were unacceptable! As he linked those incidents to the fact that he could no longer enjoy breakfast with Renee; he found himself unable to stop hitting Stefan.

Stefan didn't flinch or yield.

Timothy's blows were such that his fingers would break at any moment.

He broke out in a cold sweat as he endured the excruciating pain.

All the way, he remained quiet, not a sound escaping his lips.

It seemed he was ready to see his hand broken.
