Chapter 6
Kolby’s furious voice rose by eight degrees
That’s how you should do it. This kind of
woman needs to be taught a lesson. She has been mixing in society for a few years and has becom confused. One good beating will make her understand her place and prevent her from getting confused about hierarchy and respect. I get angry just looking at her!”
This was said to me on purpose, and I suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, and walked back to th
bedroom.
Drew chased in and locked the door. “Penelope, I… I didn’t mean to…”
wiped the blood off my face with a tissue and looked at him, shaking my head. “Don’t say anythin else, Drew. It’s over between us completely. Take your parents and move out immediately. Leave
now!”
“Penelope! Can you please stop being stubborn? You promised me that you wouldn’t tell them about the house, no matter what. But just now, you let it slip!”
My heart was like ashes.
“So, until now, you were still concerned about saving face, right?”
“But… they were my parents, Penelope!”
I looked at him calmly and questioned him, “Did I ever tell you about my father? Did I ever tell you that I hate men who lay hands on women the most? My mother is deaf in one ear because of my father’s beatings. He has been dead for ten years, and I haven’t shed a single tear. I have said all of these things, right?”
“You slapped me for the sake of your reputation, and I will never forgive you for this slap until I die. Leave with some dignity, Drew, consider it a favor from me!”
Drew’s face turned pale, and he felt helpless. “It wasn’t Penelope, let me explain…”
“Get lost!”
I dragged out the long tail of my voice and shouted “roll“.
The next second, the door was slammed open, and Kolby, holding a belt in his hand, rushed towards me and dragged me to the living room by pulling my hair.
He fiercely threw it to the ground, cursing while hitting. “Living in my son’s house, spending my son’s money, feeding you well, and yet you still tell us to get lost! Who do you think you are telling to leave? You, a person without any rules or manners, have been spoiled to the point where you can’t even distinguish between the big and small kings…”
Scarlet chimed in, “Hit her! Hit her hard, make her obedient, so she won’t think she’s superior to anyone and won’t disrespect her elders, Drew, you watch, if she misbehaves in the future, you just
Chanterb
bit her like this, that’s what she’s been spoile
Memories and reality, scenes overlapping
y eyes.
I curled up my body just like I did back then, burying my head in my arms, praying for the person
with the belt to stop as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long had passed, when a crisp slap brought me back to reality. It turned out that Kolby felt unsatisfied and incidentally hit Drew.
I seized the opportunity and rushed out of the door, running to the rooftop to make an emergency call. The piercing pain on my back and thigh reminded me constantly that I had to make Kolby pay
he price.
Following the police officer into the house, Drew, with red eyes, pulled me to the corner and interrogated me, “Did you call the police? Why did you call the police, Penelope! I know you were angry, I can apologize to you, but why did you bring the police here and embarrass me like this!”
I stared at him blankly and really wanted to say, “Can you listen to what you’re saying? Is that even human language?”
In the end, I couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and pointed at Kolby, saying, “Officer, this is the person who hit me!”
The police officer walked over and asked Kolby to provide his identification, preparing to question him in detail about the crime.
Who knew that Scarlet would step forward and say something that left all the police officers present speechless.
