    Chapter 2154


    "Just forget about it?"


    Lh fell into a daze when she heard Amber''s words. She nced at Amber darkly before letting out a twistedugh. Then, she shook her head.


    "No, I can''t let it go just like that! Grady was hurt. How can I call myself a mother if I let it go like that? I must make the two people who hurt Grady pay dearly!"


    Lh''s expression shocked Amber. She subconsciously swallowed and asked, "Well, how will you handle it?"


    *I told Mateo to lock them up. When Grady''s condition stabilizes, I''ll make them pay!" Lh''s eyes shone with fury and vengeance, and she gnashed her teeth. "They hurt Grady, so I''ll give them a taste of their medicine! I won''t break their limbs or cut off their tongues. I''ll just cut their foreheads and tear off their scalps! What do you think?"


    "You want to... tear off their scalps?" Terror gripped Amber when she heard Lh''s n. An awkwardughter escaped her. "Isn''t that too ruthless? If they didn''t do it on purpose, I don''t think you should make such a bloody scene."


    "Bloody?" Lh disagreed and sneered, "Isn''t that the rule of our fort? If I tell Macsen or Benjamin, I''m afraid it won''t be as simple as that. The two women might even get killed. Do you believe that?"


    "Yes, I do." Amber sighed helplessly. She recalled how people were punished in the fort for making mistakes-it was more horrible than tearing off their scalps. In a certain aspect, Lh was considered gentle.


    However, Lh''s gentleness wasn''t something Renee and Leia could withstand. Amber would never allow Lh to go through with that.


    After some contemtion, Amber bit the bullet and kept on dissuading Lh. "Aunt Lh, I think you''d better give that idea up."


    Immediately, Lh became vignt. "Why''s that?"


    *From what I understand, theye with special identities. I heard their background is powerful. If you want to tear off their scalps, I fear the people on their side won''t let us off. They''ll want revenge."


    Amber knew Lh feared Macsen the most, so she added slowly, "Whether they can defeat us or not isn''t the issue. If theye after us, Dad and the others will learn about this. Uncle Macsen will find fault with you..."This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''re right..." Lh frowned, her face a solemn yet conflicted expression. "I don''t want to forgive the two women, but I don''t want Macsen to learn that Grady was hurt. I might suffer too. What should I do?"


    "Well, Grady''s fine. Let''s forget about this. After all, they won''t stay here for long. Just let it go!" Amber tried to persuade Lh again.


    *So, we should just let it go?" Lh frowned, looking reluctant. Unfortunately, she was out of her wits and didn''t know what else to do. "Looks like I have to suffer in silence..."


    When Lh finally yielded, Amber quietly heaved a sigh of relief.


    ''It''s fine. We''ll be careful from now on. We can''t let Grady y with weapons anymore. It''ll scare others and he might hurt himself. It''s bad!"


    When Amber exited Lh''s room, it was alreadyte at night.


    Liam and Mateo were still drinking. There wererge pieces of beef and mutton on the table, with charcoal burning brightly underneath it.


    The two seemed like close buddies who could talk about anything while enjoying drinks. In truth, their voices were fierce and each was trying his hardest to put the other down.
