Chapter 110
Smack!
Cordy’s eyes narrowed as Plum’s slap landed squarely on her face, leaving a distinctly red palm print on her fair cheek.
“You shameless b*tch! How could you do this to your own sister?!” Plum snapped at her right after that. “How can she or our family show our faces in public now?! How did we ever raise a swine like you, Cordy?!”
Cordy simply pursed her lips seven as she felt the burning sting on her cheek.
Many unpleasant memories abruptly appeared in her mind at the same time.
She had been alone and helpless since her mother died.
On the other hand, Noel won Simon and Plum’s favor in every way, and abused Cordy however she could.
As a child, Cordy was not good at resisting, and she had to just bear with it most of the time. Even if Simon or Plum knew that Noel was the one at fault, Cordy would be punished anyway.
There was even a time when Plum locked her up, denying her food or drink for two days.
She had been slapped before by Plum too–just like now, with every ounce of strength she had.
She had been a kid back then, and the sheer force left her floored and deaf in one ear for a month.
She was constantly made to stand or kneel outside the house–it was her fault whenever Noel. started crying, because she was the older sister who did not let Noel have whatever she wanted.
For the longest time, she never understood why.
Eventually, she did.
From the very beginning, Cordy and her mother had never been accepted by the Sachs!
