    “You absolute jerk! I let you win! I actually let you win! You filthy country bumpkin, even I wouldn’t dare to take you on if it weren’t for this!”


    ine remained tied up,pletely defenseless, enduring Cynthia’s furious outburst directed at her face and head.


    In that moment, ine cried out, pleading for mercy: “Oh, sister, please don’t hit me! Can’t you tell me what I did wrong?”


    “What do you mean, ‘know you’re wrong’?” Cynthia’s anger intensified. She unleashed her fury on ine, shouting, “You’ve practically killed my Lady! You think just saying you know you’re wrong is enough?! My Lady demands justice today! I will have to finish you off!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ine, terrified, blurted out, “Sister, please forgive me! Don’t forget, you are Charlie’s aunt, and I’m Charlie’s mother-inw—we’re family! How can we let it end like this? If my son-inw turns against you because of this, it won’t end well for you!”


    Cynthia scoffed, “Family? Don’t be ridiculous! How could my Lady be rted to a poor wretch like you? If Charlie dares to bring your family back to the Wade’s, I’ll make sure he pays for it!”


    Donald, who was nearby, suddenly perked up and eximed, “Ms. Wade, just say the word, and I’ll arrange for this wretched woman to be taken care of!”


    Horrified, ine looked at Cynthia and begged, “Sister, please consider our family ties! At worst, just brand me like you did with Christopher and Harold. That would suffice…”


    Cynthia wished for ine’s demise with every fiber of her being.


    However, she suddenly remembered her father’s request, which made her hesitate.


    She realized that if Donald really killed ine, Charlie would likely never forgive her.<fn7ba0> This update is avable on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn7ba0>


    If Charlie stood against the Wade Family, her father would certainly me her for failing to handle the situation.


    With these thoughts in mind, she decided against killing ine. She red at ine and gritted her teeth, saying, “You can thank Charlie for sparing your life today, but make no mistake—you’vemitted a grave offense. Your punishment may be avoided, but your sins will catch up with you!”


    After saying this, she turned to Donald andmanded, “Break her hands and feet!”


    Donald replied promptly, “Ms. Wade, leave it to me!”


    He then called out, “Get over here and deal with her hands and feet!”


    As soon as he finished, several of his subordinates rushed in.


    ine, overwhelmed with fear, broke down in tears, but they swiftly restrained her, ignoring her pleas, and one of them picked up a brick and struck ine’s right knee.


    In an instant, ine fainted from the pain.


    Her right knee had already been broken once by Lady Wilson, and after a long recovery, she had just gotten the ster off. Now, facing this fresh agony, despair washed over her.


    ine cried out in anguish, “Please forgive me! My leg has already been broken once; if it happens again, I’ll lose my life…”


    Donald snapped back, “Quit your whining! Miss Wade has ordered you to have your hands and legs broken—this is not a negotiation!”


    ine screamed in desperation, “Then just kill me! I’d rather die than endure this torture!”


    Donald, disgusted, retorted, “What a pathetic shrew! You lot, get rid of her now!”


    Just as one of the men with the b was about to strike ine’s other leg, the warehouse door was suddenly kicked open. A dozen armed men in ck stormed in, guns drawn, aiming at everyone inside.


    The leader of the group, holding a gun, dered coldly, “No one move! If anyone dares to shift an inch, my bullets won’t discriminate!”
