But what about the punishment you gave me, makingkneel in the pouring rain?“, Then, Sheena gestured with her eyes, and the bodyguard swiftly kicked the back of Erin’s knee, causing her to collapse. The small cobblestones beneath her caused her immense pain, and Erin’s head swung downward due to the impact.

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 contemplation. 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.

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.
