Chapter 1041


    Without thinking, Hannah dropped to her knees, almost in reflex.


    Heather got up, walked over, and stopped beside Hannah. Then she stared down without a word.


    Hannah kept her head down and pursed her lips tightly. She could feel Heather’s re. She had


    prepared herself for punishment when she ate a meal with Ralph. Hannah felt calm instead now that


    she was about to be punished.


    “You think you’re a full-fledged bird now, don’t you?” Heather said casually and rested her hand on


    Hannah’s shoulder. “That you’re ready to fly solo?”


    Pain shot through Hanna’s shoulder. No matter how much she looked like her sister, she was no match


    for Heather in terms of strength.


    Hannah had learned kickboxing when she was young but never had firm footing and muscles like her


    sister. Without Heather’s strength and learning ability, Hannah knew she could never be as


    powerful as Heather, no matter how hard she tried.


    She had grown even weaker, having stayed in the basement for a long time and could onlye out


    for a breather at night.


    At this moment, Hannah felt her sister’s tightening grasp was about to crush her shoulder and


    wondered if that was Heather’s intention.


    ‘If she wants to crush my shoulder, then so be it. I might as well die and leave the world. Unwanted by


    my family, I shouldn’t have existed in the world, and there’s nothing to miss here, except…’


    She was somewhat reluctant to die. She had just epted Ralph’s marriage proposal and still had not


    spent the rest of her life with him. Hannah’s lips lost their redness and paled as her face contorted in


    pain.


    She dared not to utter a word and gritted her teeth. As beads of sweat streamed down her face, she


    neither groaned nor begged for mercy.


    Heather grew angrier seeing her like this. “Well, well, not so tough now, are you? Why have you


    be disobedient? Is it because of that man?” She strengthened her grasp on Hannah’s shoulder


    and spoke madly.


    ‘This wretched girl has always obeyed me since she was young, and my words are like royal decrees


    to her. She never defied me and would never overstep bounds like today. She would immediately


    return whenever she performed her tasks and never linger outside.


    ‘Whenever I’m in a good mood, I’d buy her two new clothes and allow her to have a feast as herself so


    she could enjoy some freedom outside. However, she has pushed her luck like today.’


    Although Heather did not go out, she had spies everywhere. She was fully aware of what Hannah did,


    whom Hannah met, what Hannah ate, and what Hannah encountered.


    Since Heather was injured, she had slept longer than she should have. By the time she woke up, night


    had fallen, but the wretched girl had not even returned.


    ‘Chump told me she left thepany early with Ralph and went to dine in a five-star hotel, where he


    proposed to her in public! That’s outrageous! Who does she think she is?’ Heather got angrier and


    exerted more strength despite herself, and a crack sounded.


    “Argh!” Hannah paled and moaned despite herself before copsing to the floor. Her eyes rolled up,


    and she fainted.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
