Chapter 831


    He turned to look at Susan. “Next time, go easy on the salt. The children can’t take anything too salty.”


    Susan was puzzled as to how salty it was. When she made the spaghetti, she didn’t even add any salt.


    She tasted it herself. “This isn’t salty at all.”


    “Ms. Susan, your taste buds are off. We can’t even stomach this. Next time, just leave the cooking to the


    chef.”


    “That’s right. Just let the chef handle it so that we won’t waste any food.”


    Just when Kyle finished speaking, Evan sighed and instructed the maids to prepare a fresh round of


    breakfast. He then stood up and left the dining table.


    When Susan saw that Evan didn’t even taste the food that she painstakingly prepared, she couldn’t help


    but feel outraged. All she got in return for her wasted effort was harsh criticism and contempt.


    Suppressing the fury within her, she pulled Evan’s te over and tried the food for herself. The next


    moment, she, too, spat it out.


    “I didn’t add any salt at all. Why is Evan’s spaghetti so…”


    She turned to look at the four children. However, Juan and Kyle averted their gaze and stared at the


    ceiling instead. They pretended as if it had nothing to do with them.


    Nina, on the other hand, gave her the side-eye with her arms folded. She looked as if she was gloating at


    what had just happened.


    As for Maya, she was licking her lips hungrily as she stared at the spaghetti. As her eyes shed with


    desperation, her stomach growled in hunger.


    She picked up her fork and started to devour the meatballs after mixing them into her spaghetti.


    Susan furrowed her eyebrows as she pulled over Maya’s te. After giving it a try, she realized it wasn’t


    salty at all.


    Damn it, how dare they make a fool of me in front of Evan. They have wasted all my effort!


    She curled her lips into a smirk. “Maya, stop eating. You can continueter. By the way, your hair seems


    to be in a mess. Come, darling, let me help youb it.”


    Maya pondered a moment before nodding.


    After jumping down from the chair, she was carried by Susan into her room upstairs.


    Once the door closed, Susan’s face turned gloomy instantly. She red at Maya and demanded, “Who


    told you to say that the food was salty?”


    Maya fidgeted with her fingers and didn’t say a word.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Earlier, Juan was the one who told her to do it, but she didn’t want to betray him.


    When she didn’t reply, Susan suddenly pulled her hair and ordered fiercely, “Speak!”


    As the pain reverberated through her scalp, tears began to swell in her eyes. However, she quickly


    covered her mouth as she didn’t dare cry out.


    Susan had previously threatened her not to cry or else her Mommy wouldnguish in prison forever,


    suffering from hunger and beatings.


    Hence, she endured the pain as she didn’t want Mommy to suffer.


    When she still refused to speak, Susan put her on the bed and took off her pants. After that, she furiously


    pinched her chubby bum again and again.


    It hurt so much that tears gushed down her cheeks. “Ms. Susan, I know I’m wrong. I won’t dare do it


    again. Ms. Susan, I’ll be a good girl…” she pleaded while sobbing softly.


    Susan seethed, “You damn child. The next time you dare to prank me with the others, I will beat your


    bum till you scream. Also, your Mommy is never going toe out of prison! She will always stay inside


    her tiny cell, beaten to a pulp, just like a dog!”


    Maya thought about the nightmare she had where Mommy was covered in blood. Horrified, she began to


    bawl aloud.


    “Stop crying! You’re driving me crazy!”


    At Susan’s order, Maya quickly covered her mouth and tried her best to contain her cries.


    Despite her reaction, Susan’s anger didn’t subside. She dragged Maya’s hair and continued to abuse


    her.


    When she finally saw the bruises on Maya, she was so frightened that she stopped.


    She was cognizant that she would be finished if Evan was to notice them.


    No, I can’t beat her like that. I need to think of another way.


    Taking a deep breath, she ordered Maya to put back on her clothes. She then took Maya to the bathroom


    to wash her face andb her hair.


    After she was done, she was worried that someone might notice Maya had been crying. Hence, she kept


    Maya in her room for the time being and ordered the maids to bring in some delicious food.
