Chapter 1844: Chapter 1847: Punishment for Evelyn Bright
Evelyn Bright’s eyes were wide with terror, desperately retreating backward.
Her mouth had been cut by Orlando Lucas and Sebastian Lucas VII, and after being taken away by the police, they had originally stitched it up.
But now, in extreme panic and cries, the wound had burst open, flesh turned up, erupting in a bloom of blood.
“Mmm… mm…”
Even though her tongue was still there, without her lips, she couldn’t cover her gums. Whenever she tried to speak even slightly forcefully, pain shot through her lips.
Aidan Lucas’s lips curved, slicing through the cold basement air.
He looked at the terrified and helpless Evelyn Bright, and said coldly, “Bring a mirror, the bigger the better.”
Before long, his subordinate brought in a mirror over a meter wide, half a person’s height, from outside.
Following Mr. Lucas’s line of sight, they placed the mirror before Evelyn Bright with tacit understanding.
“Ah—ah—” It was as if Evelyn Bright caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and she immediately shrank into a corner.
“Pull her over, drag her to the mirror, and don’t let her close her eyes.”
Cooper II and Cooper III immediately went up and, with roughness, tossed the screaming Evelyn Bright, whose mouth was now flowing with blood, in front of the mirror.
“Ah—ooooh—” Evelyn Bright struggled backward in pain, too scared to look at the woman in the mirror.
She couldn’t believe that the devilish woman in there could possibly be herself!
But Cooper II and Cooper III pinned her firmly in front of the mirror, not allowing her to retreat even half a step or sway left or right.
She closed her eyes, but they yanked at her hair hard, forcing her head up to make her look at the mirror.
Painful screams and a chillingly tragic voice filled the entire cellar.
It wasn’t until Evelyn Bright finally cried herself to exhaustion, shouted herself hoarse, and struggled to fatigue that the room fell silent.
Only then did Aidan Lucas’s deep, magnetic voice resound once more.
“I still remember the words you said to me over a decade ago. Back then, you were only ten years old, but you already showed a posture of pity in front of me. You said that people like me didn’t deserve to appear in front of you. I was nothing but a despised, bastard child unloved by our father. It was me who destroyed the happiness of your family of four.”
Back then, he hid behind his primary personality, watching with open eyes as the dazzlingly beautiful but insidiously malicious girl spoke words of great humiliation to him.
He also remembered how in front of Theodore Lucas, she would greet him with a smile.
Then, when Theodore Lucas turned away, she’d show eyes of condescending pity, using venomous words to provoke him.
The humiliation was unbearable even to Aidan Lucas’s primary personality.
That primary personality, not yet mature and shrewd, directly slammed into ‘Evelyn Lucas’, messing up her braids.
And the result was being severely punished by Theodore Lucas, who came rushing over when he heard.
“In the past, you often said that only people who are perfect in appearance are qualified to enjoy all the favorable resources in this world. Rest assured, for next week’s trial, I’ll make sure you’re acquitted. I would never let my ‘beloved’ sister suffer any hardship.”
Evelyn Bright trembled all over as Aidan Lucas remained calm and composed, making her even more terrified.
Indeed, as Aidan Lucas stood up, she heard his final judgment.
“Cooper I, carve a word on her face… hmm, let’s carve the word ‘beauty’. Tell them to make sure to treat Evelyn Bright well, and you personally oversee the subsequent matters.”
“Yes, Master.” Cooper I responded expressionlessly, but couldn’t help feeling a sliver of sympathy for Evelyn Bright.
The Master’s methods were unparalleled.
To make a woman who had always flaunted her beauty lose the appearance she relied upon the most, while not letting her suffer the calamity of prison, instead releasing her back into the world.
Having lost her beauty, the prodigy relying on her family, falling from heaven to dust… such an outcome would be far more cruel and hopeless than death or enduring the ordeal of prison!
[First update, I’ll write the rest slowly, I’ve been stuck on the ending.]
