Chapter 36


    Chapter 36


    Only the faint whimpering of the two women was left in the courtyard as the once noisy cries finally


    stopped.


    Sheena’s torment was about to begin.


    “Do you remember when you falsely used me of stealing jewelry and took away my shares in the


    Freeman family? Since I’ve already smashed the courtyard, let’s consider that debt settled. But what


    about the punishment you gave me, making me kneel in the pouring rain?“, Then, Sheena gestured


    with her eyes, and the bodyguard swiftly kicked the back of Erin’s knee, causing her to copse. The


    small cobblestones beneath her caused her immense pain, and Erin’s head swung downward due to


    the impact.


    Though restrained by the bodyguards, her head did not touch the ground, but it came close enough to


    make a bow toward Sheena.


    Erin felt a mixture of pain and humiliation. Her face contorted in agony.


    Tears welled up in Faye’s eyes, and she was still mumbling as if muttering some curse like ‘ You f*cking


    bitch!‘ or ‘I hope you die!‘


    “Does it hurt to see your own daughter suffer? Have you ever considered what my mom would feel


    when you treated me that way?” Sheena’s voice turned icy, and she unconsciously clenched her hand


    tightly, causing it to ache slightly.


    Unpleasant memories flooded back.


    After a while, she suppressed her surging emotions and looked at the horizon where the sun was


    setting.


    “What a pity that it’s not raining heavily today, but I’m not done yet,” Sheena murmured, frowning in


    contemtion. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and her eyes brightened.


    “Go fetch a few buckets of water from the pond.”


    The bodyguards immediately carried out her order.


    The subdued servants huddled in a corner of the garden, shivering when they heard Sheena’s


    tormenting methods. However, none dared to intervene as they had witnessed the injustice she


    endured before and knew about Faye’s harsh treatment of her.


    Besides, Erin used to bully Sheena frequently, and being punished for her mother’s actions seemed


    quite just.


    Soon, the bodyguards returned with five buckets of water, unintentionally bringing some small shrimps


    and aquatic nts from the pond.


    Erin’s eyes widened in panic as she begged Sheena for mercy, crying uncontrobly.


    There was no trace of her former arrogance and domineering attitude.


    “Pour it over her.”


    Sheena’s order left the mother–daughter duo helpless.


    Ssh!


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Without any hesitation, a whole bucket of water was poured down over Erin’s head, emptying


    everything from the bucket.


    Her face turned pale as she shivered from the cold. There were aquatic nts sticking to her face and


    tiny shrimps wriggling above her head.


    The scene was pitiful.


    Erin lifted her head, witnessing Faye crying helplessly, unable to save her. She saw Sheena, whom


    she detested the most, mocking her. Even the servants, whom she had often scolded, were now


    sneaking nces at her, witnessing her humiliation.


    Her pride and self–esteem shattered, and she was filled with humiliation and despair.


    Erin broke downpletely, wailing in agony.


    Before the bodyguards could pour the second bucket of water, she passed out.


    Seeing that Erin had truly passed out, Sheena allowed the bodyguards to release them.


    With no one holding them back, Faye rushed to check on her daughter’s condition, forgetting to curse


    Sheena in her worry.


    “This is just a lesson. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off so easily,” Sheena warned, satisfied with


    the revenge. Then, she called her bodyguards back to her side and prepared to head home.


    As she turned around, she was met with a pair of dark eyes. Elijah was staring right at her.
