“She’s the one to me for all of this.


    I hate her with every fiber of my being.


    I should be the one to deal with that bitch.


    ”


    “Then allow me to hold you while you do it, hmm? You can torture her to your heart’s content.


    Sonny will do the dirty work, and you and I can watch.


    What do you think?”


    “Okay.


    ”


    Sonny was excellent in torture.


    He had a knack for beating people up to make them squeal.


    It would be a shame not to make good use of his ruthless talents.


    Nathan pressed a gentle ki*s on Lucinda’s forehead and carried her downstairs.


    Valerie was kneeling in the middle of the living room at the moment, while Hilliard and Cyrus sat on either end of the sofa.


    A heavy silence hung in the room.


    Without even ncing at the kneeling woman, Nathan walked over to the sofa and sat in the middle.


    He settled Lucinda on hisp and tightened his arms around her.


    Lucinda casually yed with his designer neck tie and drawled, “Now that I know the full truth, do you have anything to say?”


    Despite being on her knees, Valerie’s back was ramrod straight, her chin held high.


    She shed Lucinda a mocking smile.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “I lost.


    I have nothing else to say.


    You can kill me if you like.


    ”


    Lucinda smirked as well, her tone biting when she said, “Well, all right.


    But since you’re a member of the family, so before anything else, we’ll have to settle ounts ording to the family rules first.


    ”


    Right on cue, Nathan gave Sonny a subtle nod.


    Sonny silently exited into the garden.


    When he came back, he was carrying an armful of thick branches.


    “Give her fiftyshings first,” Lucinda ordered coldly.


    “After that, we can start asking her questions.


    ”


    “Yes,”


    Sonnyid the branches on the coffee table, picked one, and proceeded to beat Valerie with it.


    The horrible sound of wood cracking on flesh was rang out in the spacious hall.


    It was the only sound that could be heard, lending a more ominous quality to the atmosphere.


    Sonny did not hold back, and used the same amount of force with every blow.


    He didn’t care that Valerie was a woman; he showed her no mercy.


    In fact, he looked like a torture machine hell-bent on its mission.


    Before long, the branch broke.


    Sonny didn’t miss a beat and picked up a second branch, and then continued to whip her.


    Valerie had made the mistake of wearing a strapless dress tonight.


    Her delicate skin suffered under theshings, and soon, her arms and back were covered with bleeding cuts and bruises.


    She tried to hold her ground at first, but it proved to be too much for her.


    She ended up curling into a ball, her hands covering her head as she cowered under Sonny’s merciless beatings.
