Chapter 575 Punish Him To Stand In The Scorching Sun
John stood up expressionlessly and strode over to Lynda. She watched as his shiny leather shoes
and slender legs stepped forward. As he approached, she felt an inexplicable pressure that made
her lips tremble.
She had to face what wasing to her.
"I''m sorry. I''m so sorry. Please let me go." Her face turned a deathly pale color as her breaths
became weak.
When the hulking man squatted down in front of her, she seemed to have entered her version of
hell, as the eyes of death pierced a hole in her body.
"Which hand of yours pressed the record button?" The calmer John''s tone was, the eerier it
sounded.
"Right hand," answered Lynda, trembling.

"Okay. Put it on the floor with your palm facing down," John ordered nonchntly.
She didn''t know what he was going to do. What she did know was that the fear in her body was now
in control and she dared not disobey him, so she did as she was told.
He picked up the kitchen knife from the table. Vicente was in no mood to see the bloody scene to
follow.
Cali''s eyes widened. She thought back to Demi''s eye being pierced by the needle and feared that
Sean was going to chop this woman''s hand off.
Although she knew Lynda was in the wrong, she still didn''t think she deserved such a gruesome
punishment.
Cali quickly got up and rushed to stop him. "No, Sean, please don''t!"
"Aaaah!" It was toote. Cali couldn''t get over to him in time.
Lynda''s right hand was severed from her arm.
As if scripted, everyone in the room seemed to hold their breath. The servants lowered their heads
and dared not look at them, but felt a level of sympathy for this poor woman.
''Sean is merciless. He just cut off her hand like that.''
Lynda passed out from the pain.
Cali edged forward, realizing that she hadn''t stopped him. She stared in disbelief at the bloody
scene,pletely speechless.
She copsed.
Vicente reacted fast enough and caught her. "Cali, are you okay?"
She raised her head stiffly. "Count Nangong, please save Lynda, save her."
Vicente helped Cali sit on the sofa and waved at a servant. "Call the doctor over."
They carried Lynda to a bed, with the doctor rushing over. He disinfected the wound, treated it and
afterwards put her on a drip.
Cali went back to the hall to continue her apology.
She looked back and watched as the servants cleaned up the blood-stained floor.
"Cali, the doctor is here. You should let him check your face." Vicente didn''t me Cali anymore.
With all that had happened, it was pointless punishing her again.
Vicente had listened to the whole recording, knowing that it was not her fault.
"Thank you, Count Nangong." Wiping the tears from her eyes, Cali bowed. "Sean, I''m sorry."
John sat on the sofa with a lit cigarette, but he didn''t take a drag.
He seemed to be absent-minded. He kept looking at the front door, as if he was waiting for
someone.
After a while, a servant came in from outside and respectfully said, "Count Nangong, Queen Anne
sent someone to take Sean to Scher Mountain."
Vicente worriedly looking over at the man sitting on the sofa.
John nodded slightly, stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can. When he stood up,
he straightened himself up to look neat.
He had been waiting for this moment.
He wondered what judgment he''d get from Nina''s parents.
"I hope everything goes well." Vicente wished him good luck as he walked out.
Once he was out of sight, Vicente frowned and said, "Cali, he wasn''t that cruel to Lynda. I''m afraid
that Queen Anne might actually show how cruel one can be."
Cali pricked up her ears.
"He med himself. If he had restrained himself yesterday, things wouldn''t have had to happen like
this. He brought Nina under so much scrutiny that he couldn''t let himself off easily. Beyond that, her
parents won''t let him go. I don''t know how much he will suffer, but I''m sure it won''t be easy for him,"
Vicente said worriedly.
Cali partially understood, but she couldn''t pinpoint the reason.
She needed to make sure of one thing first. "Count Nangong, have you really divorced Princess
Nina?"
Vicente turned her head and looked into Cali''s inquiring eyes. Then, she smiled and continued to
look ahead.
"I''ll tell you one thing. I was the one who stole Nina away from Sean. That''s why I feel so sorry for
them. I made an agreement with her parents and forced her to marry me."
This was aplete shock to Cali. She never believed that the count would have done such a
thing.
"I won''t tell anyone," Cali promised.
Vicente smiled gently. "I know. By the way, Lynda will work in the castle with you from now on. I''ll let
her enjoy the same treatment that I''ve afforded to you."
"Really?" Cali''s eyes lit up again.
She knew that after what had happened today, there would be no ce for Lynda to stay on C
Ind anymore.
"Of course. Now go and get the doctor to check your face."
"Thank you, Count Nangong. You really are a good person."
Cali happily glided out the room.
Vicente couldn''t help thinking what a smart and simple girl Cali was.
The reason why she wanted Lynda here was that she wanted to keep watch on her. She didn''t want
her hate to fester and for her to seek revenge. It would have put them in a state of constant danger.
If Lynda wanted to do something bad to them, it would be easy to get rid of her.
In the process, it made Cali happy and made her a more reliable employee.
Of course this was John''s idea.
Vicente thought of Nina as her good friend, but John was always going to be her teacher.
The whole issue was taking up the whole morning. John stood in the scorching sun as sweat
dripped down from his forehead.
He stood there as a punishment. In all honesty, he wasn''t bitter about it at all.
Nina didn''t even know any of this was happening. Anne had blocked thework signal for the
whole of Scher Mountain.
Although Nina had some doubts, Reba convinced her with a wless excuse.
It was strange that Reba sent lunch to Nina''s room though, and said that they didn''t have to eat
in the dining room today.
When Nina woke up from her nap, she wanted to take the babies out to bask in the sun and feel the
fresh sea breeze, but was stopped by Reba.
She finally realized that something had to be wrong.
She pretended to agree with Reba, but as soon as the possibility arose, she pushed her out the
way, beat the bodyguards, and rushed out of the door.
She saw that John was standing in the hot sun, sweating profusely while his lips dried out like the
desert sand.
"John!" She shouted his name. He didn''t seem to hear her and possibly didn''t want to move his
head, fearing he''d pass out from the dizziness.
He didn''t know how long it would take for the punishment to be over. Only by holding on could he
see his future parents-inw.
He had never endured such a grueling punishment before, but he knew he deserved it.
Noticing that he was dehydrated, Nina rushed down the castle to go to him. When she got down
there, he had already been taken away.
