Nick was taken aback, his expression serious. “I've been occupied with secret investigations during the day, so |
didn’t inquire about last night's incident. | genuinely don’t know, but“”
He paused for a moment and looked apologetically at Sylvia as he explained, “I'm sorry, Sylvia. Because | was
angry with you last night, | didn’t stop Ben from taking you away, leading to your suffering at the police bureau
all night. But please believewhen | say that | haven't changed. I'll always be there for
you, Nick!”
With excitement in his voice, he reached out and held Sylvia's delicate hand.
“Of course, | believe you.”
Sylvia replied with a smile. She calmly withdrew her hand and elegantly tucked her hair behind her ear. “By the
way, my money has been in Evans’s possession for too long, and | won't be content until I get it back. Nick,
please assistwith that.”
Nick felt obliged to say, “Certainly, I'll help you with anything you want to do.”
Sylvia smiled, her eyes filled with warmth.
The two of them chatted for a while, and it wasn’t until 8 o'clock in the evening that they finished their
meal.
Sylvia declined Nick's offer to escort her and instead drove back to Cloud View Villa with Twelve and
Nineteen.
As she stepped into the backseat of the car, the smile on her face instantly froze.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressively heavy, sending chills down her spine.
Twelve and Nineteen noticed her bad mood and wisely remained silent.
When they arrived at Cloud View Villa, Sylvia was surprised to see that the living room light was on.
She entered the house and found Patric sitting on the sofa, wearing a peculiar expression.
“Patric, what's the matter?” Sylvia asked, blinking her eyes in confusion.
Patric pointed to the phone in his hand and said, “It’s Chris. He called you and you didn’t pick up. So he called
Sylvia held her breath for a moment, her heart racing.

She had always been fearless, even daring to confront her father, but her eldest brother, Chris, was the one
person she feared the most.
Seeing the displeased expression on her Patric’s face, she knew something was wrong.
As if on instinct, Sylvia's legs weakened.
“Sylvia Smith!” her Chris’s stern voice suddenly resounded from the phone, “kneel down!“.
Sylvia was instantly dumbfounded.
It turned out that the phone call had been connected the entire time, and it was on speakerphone!
He called her by her full nfrom the start, indicating his anger.
Feeling unable to hide, Sylvia tremulously took the phone and said, “Brother, I'm sorry, please don’t be
angry”
“What did you do wrong?” Chris's voice cfrom the other end, cold and emotionless.
Patric held his breath, afraid to say a word.
Sylvia pondered for a while. Honestly, she didn’t even know. “I did everything wrong. | made mistakes all
over.”
“Sylvia!” he said through gritted teeth.
Sylvia dropped to her knees upon hearing his voice, desperation evident in her tone. “Brother, | truly understand
my mistake. I'm kneeling down, alright?”
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Chris restrained his anger and said, “““This
is not your first offense, right? Let's forget about the previous incidents. But this time, you went too far, publicly
humiliating someone in front of numerous staff at the bar. What if that person becdesperate and harmed
you? What if you got hurt again?”
Sylvia mumbled, feeling a bit defiant. However, when she glanced at Patric, Patric, who was signaling her not to
provoke further anger, she softened her tone. “I understand. | won't dare to do it again.”
She couldn't believe it! Her brother was being so harsh!
Chris sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. He paused for a moment before changing his tone to a slightly warmer
one. “Since you've already kneeled, then kneel for an hour. Patric will supervise. Do you have
any objections?”
“Huh?” Sylvia wanted to protest. She had plenty of objections!

But she quickly realized it was futile, “Chris, my knees will swell if | kneel on the marble floor for too
long“”
“It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet. Then it will be two hours,” Chris replied firmly,
“Chris!” Sylvia pleaded, feeling aggrieved. “Alright, just two hours. I'll kneel, Can’t you forgiveafter the
punishment?”
She couldn't believe how harsh her brother was being! Were all powerful men so strict? She finally hung up the
call, her eyes misty and full of grievances. “Patric“”
Patric gave her an assuring look. “It’s alright, girl, I'm here for you.”
She couldn't believe it! Patric was also relentless!
Patric turned on the camera on his phone and aimed it at Sylvia. “Kneel properly and wear a distressed
expression. Hurry up, I'll send it to Chris.”
Sylvia obediently followed his instructions. After sending the photo of her miserable punishment, Patric took a
pillow from the sofa and handed it to her. “Here, girl. This will make it more comfortable. Quietly place it under
your knees.”
Sylvia hesitated, worried that their Chris might find out. “Won't he notice?”
“I won't tell him, and even if he finds out, it'll be fine. He's very soft-hearted toward you. He cares about you a
lot,” Patric assured her.
Sylvia pouted. Why didn’t she feel her elder brother's love? He punished her even when she kneeled for
two hours.
Patric squatted down to help her adjust the pillow, continuing to offer guidance. “Chirs is truly angry this
time, but deep down, he’s just worried about your safety. You were too impulsive. Next time, think twice before

As Sylvia listened, her attention began to drift. Patric’s words becbackground noise, and she couldn't
focus on them. After fifteen minutes, Patric asked, “*“Girl, do you understand?”
Sylvia obediently nodded. “I understand, | understand!”
She grew increasingly bored as she kneeled, her eyes fixed on the clock in the living room. Tseemed to pass
agonizingly slowly whenever she was being punished. Furthermore, she couldn't help but feel that she was too
weak in front of her eldest brother.
Since childhood, she had made numerous mistakes, and even their parents couldn't discipline her effectively.
Only Chris treated her with obedience! Sylvia felt dissatisfied. Next time, she wanted to claim her rightful
position as the little princess of the Smith family!

The next tshe saw her Chris, she would grab onto his shirt and confront him boldly, “You always punish me,
you son of a bitch!” Oops, no, she couldn't use such language. What had she become? Chris was a bitch, so did
that make her a little bitchy?
Sylvia pondered for a moment, realizing that she needed to choose her words carefully. When two hours had
finally passed, she found her knees only slightly red due to the soft pillow. Apart from a mild soreness in her
waist, she felt quite relieved.
Patric removed the pillow and handed Sylvia her phone. “Take a picture of yourself holding your knees. You can’t
stand up properly yet.”
Sylvia followed his instructions and clicked a picture, then sent it to Chris. Moments later, a call cin
from him.
As soon as Sylvia answered, she adopted a teary, crying voice. “Chris, you don’t even care about me. My
knees are swollen, and | can’t stand up. It hurts so much““”
Chris fell silent for a moment. “Fine, next twe meet, I'll let you get back at me, alright?”
“Okay, you said it. I've recorded it!” Sylvia chuckled mischievously.
Patric burst into laughter upon hearing their conversation. “Wow, Chris just fell into your trap!”
Sylvia couldn't help but smile at the thought of outsmarting her elder brother.
