There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the Line.


    Suppressing his anger, Graham spoke in a low voice, “How many times have you been to the police station? This time, you even beat someone up in front of all the staff in the bar.


    You are really something else! What if they turned desperate and fought back? What if you got hurt?”


    Lucinda frowned at Cyrus’ gestures that told her not to retort.


    She wasn’t convinced, but they made her think twice about provoking Graham again.


    Her voice softened.


    “You’re right.


    I shouldn’t have done that.


    I won’t do it again.


    ”


    But was she wrong? She knew she was right, and she’d do it again if she had to.


    Graham sighed, feeling helpless.


    After a few moments, he spoke in a cold tone.


    “Since you’ve knelt, you can stay there for an hour.


    Cyrus will supervise you.


    Is there a problem with that?”


    “What?”


    Of course, she had a problem with it! She was extremely dissatisfied!


    Lucinda felt wronged and behaved like a spoiled child.


    “Graham, this is a marble floor.


    My knees will be swollen if I kneel for an hour…”


    “It appears you have yet to learn your lesson.


    Let’s make it two hours then,” Graham said.


    “Graham!” Lucinda eximed.


    Cruelly, Graham continued, “Say another word and you’ll kneel for four hours.


    ”


    Lucinda relented.


    “Okay.


    Just two hours.


    I’ll ept my punishment.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    ”


    Graham was so cold and heartless.


    He was being too strict with her.


    Finally, the phone was hung up.


    Lucinda turned to Cyrus with tears in her eyes and pleaded, “Cyrus…”


    Cyrus looked back at her reassuringly and said, “Don’t worry, Lucinda.


    I’ll be here with you while you kneel.


    ”


    Lucinda wondered if Cyrus would just sit there and do nothing while she knelt.
