Chapter 765
Her eyes lit up, and Josee passed Nigel the only plate of fresh vegetables left in the household. “Have more of this. You need the energy for your work.”
“Alright,” Nigel replied. The ambiance in the house restored its joviality.
In the Southalls.
Henrick and the local construction workers were discussing the renovation of the house
“Here I want to build a backyard with a fountain. I want the architecture of the house to have more European elements. I will pass the pictures to you and you may think about it later. Please let me know the manpower that you will need,” Henrick said.
“Alright alright. However, this will cost millions,” the workers reminded Henrick.
“Don’t worry about it, I will ensure that you will be paid for your work,” assured Henry.
With Henrik’s assurance, the workers joyfully left.
After sending off the workers, Henrick noticed Matthias who was weak and frail when he passed by the chicken coop.
After the whole torture yesterday, his high spirit had entirely diminished.
This was due to the force of the beating, coupled with the fact that the wound was inflamed. Obviously, the injuries on his body were starting to get infected.
When he saw Henrick, his eyes opened widely.
Henrick gestured the bodyguard and said, “Whip.”
The bodyguard immediately passed him the whip.
Matthias quavered and said, “Henrick, do you really want to kill me?”
Henrick smirked in reply. “I’m a man of my word. Ten whips a day are what you will surely get.”
He whipped Matthias instantly after finishing his sentence.
However, Matthias was not as resilient as he was yesterday. Upon the fifth strike, he slumped into unconsciousness.
Henrick was not satisfied. He threw the whip away and walked towards Cindy, who had not eaten for a day.
Cindy cowered in a corner and shivered. “Henrick, I was wrong. Please give me a chance? I swear I will not betray you again!”
She also swore that if she were to be given the chance to leave, she would repay his generosity ten fold.
Henrick laughed at the thought. “Do you think I will give you another chance to betray me?”
He picked up a stone and forcefully hurled it in Cindy’s direction.
She didn’t have time to react. The next second, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead. Following that, blood started dripping into her eyes.
“Ouch! Ouch!” Cindy started to shriek in pain.
Henry impatiently covered his ears and said, “Mrs. Southall’s funeral will be tomorrow, and the two of them will be a nuisance. Lock them up in the farm, but remember to feed them. Nothing too fancy, just some pig fodder will do.”
I’m not letting them die this easily, torture is awaiting them!
On the other side.
In Rube’s van.
Teddy saw Arielle once he hopped in the van.
He immediately cheered in excitement, “Sannie!”
Arielle extended her arm and embraced Teddy.
Teddy, on the other hand, shied away from her. He looked at his dirty hands and said,(This novel will be daily updtaed “Sannie, I think I might have dirtied your clothes.”
Arielle was unbothered and shook her head. “Don’t worry about it, it’s just a small issue. Teddy, how are
you?”
Teddy nodded at first but shook his head in sorrow afterward. “Mom’s coughing is getting worse, but Dad does not have money for her treatment…”
Rube started explaining the situation of Teddy’s family to Arielle.
