Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ever since Kelly had come to the Lambert family at the age of ten, she had been pampered and raised to be a delicate lady. Not a single red mark had appeared on her body, much less being hit by such a heavy force. It was so painful that she could not even speak properly. All that was left was tears that kept falling.

Aubrey looked at the red mark on Kelly’s back that was quickly swelling. His eyes were filled with anger, as if he was going to burn Caroline to ashes.

Balor’s mood wasn’t any better than Aubrey’s. He quickly called for his butler, Wells, to get him to contact the doctor.

“What, you can’t take it anymore after just one hit?” After Caroline pulled Kelly over to use her as a human shield, she went up to the second floor to prevent Balor’s ruler from hitting her again. At this moment, she was looking down at the people who were busy working downstairs, her face full of sarcasm.

“Caroline, don’t you see the wounds on Kelly’s body? You’re actually still smiling?” Aubrey looked at her with disappointment. “How did you become such a cold-blooded and cruel person?”

“Ha! I thought that in your understanding, hitting someone with that ruler was just like scratching an itch, not hurting or hurting anyone. That’s why you can hit me so unscrupulously.” Caroline laughed coldly. “So it’s not that you don’t know. It’s just that the ruler didn’t fall on the person you care about, so you chose to turn a blind eye.”

Caroline looked at the shocked and helpless Aubrey. “My good Third Brother, you guys are the real cruel and cold-blooded executioners.” 𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

“You’re rebelling! I must teach you a lesson today!” Balor stared at Caroline with a pair of sinister eyes.

“If you want to see an even more exciting scene, I don’t mind if you continue to try.” Not wanting to waste any more time with these stupid and bad people, Caroline turned around and wanted to go back to her room to rest. When she passed by the master bedroom on the second floor, she stopped in her tracks. This was the room that her mother, Helen, had specially prepared for Caroline, but it was snatched away by Kelly.

“Since I’ve agreed to take back everything that belongs to you, we can’t leave anything behind!” She kicked the door open and shouted at the servants who were watching from afar and did not dare to come forward, “Get rid of all these eyesores!”

The servants looked at each other, but none of them moved.

Most of the servants in the house were hired by Balor later on. They had long gotten used to Balor and Kelly being in charge of the house and did not have much respect for Caroline, who was the neglected proper lady.

What happened today was beyond their expectations. They could vaguely guess that Caroline’s personality had suddenly changed. She actually dared to challenge Balor. However, Balor was the one who paid them. Thus, they did not dare to disobey Balor and listen to Caroline.

“It seems like I can’t order you around.” Caroline curled her lips and glanced at them. The servants avoided her gaze and dispersed.

Just as Caroline was about to do it herself, a maid in her forties suddenly stood up. “Miss, let me help you!”

Caroline looked at her seriously for a few times before she recalled from the original’s memory that she was an old servant in the villa. She was inconspicuous because she usually cleaned the flowers in the backyard.

“Danika, I’ll have to trouble you. Get rid of all these things in the room,” Caroline pleaded. “They’re an eyesore.”

Danika was so excited that her eyes turned red. When she was a teenager, she had received a favor from the previous Mr. Lambert, so she had entered the Lambert family as a maid. She had been in the family for almost thirty years, and she had witnessed the changes in the family.

As she watched Balor snatch the Lambert family away step by step, and as Caroline was bullied again and again, she became increasingly depressed. Danika was anxious but helpless. She could only hide in a corner and protect Caroline.

Today, seeing that Caroline was no longer depressed and dared to stand up to resist, Danika was extremely excited. Thus, she bravely stood up and fought alongside Caroline!

“Miss, where are we going to clear these?” Danika rolled up her sleeves and was about to take action.

Caroline looked around and continued, “They’ll block my path in the corridor. Just throw them in the living room.”

As a result, the three people who were still waiting for the doctor in the living room could only watch helplessly as one item after another was thrown down from the hollowed-out space on the second floor and smashed in front of their eyes.
