Domestic discipline?
Hearing these two words, Claire's body suddenly tensed up. She didn't know that she was pregnant for a month until this morning, and the other party didn't know yet. But if they use the domestic discipline to punish her, not to mention the baby, even she herself might not be able to protect herself.
"Wait a minute. Don't do this. I have already... Hiss... "
Before Claire could finish his words, the whip directly whipped on her back. The pain made Claire suddenly straighten up, and thin beads of sweat immediately popped out on her forehead. If it went on like this, she and the baby would die at the same time!
In the middle, she tried to stand up, but the whip almost fell to her belly. Frightened, Claire half lay on the ground and tried her best to protect the child. Just as she didn't know how long she could hold on, there was a sudden rebuke from James outside the door.
Both of Molly's and Shelly's faces turned pale in an instant, especially Shelly's. After all, only James had the right to execute this family law, and Shelly was a person who pretended to be powerful. Now that she was caught in the act, how could she not feel guilty and afraid?
Shelly and Molly looked at each other, and then put on a flattering smile and asked, "Father? Why are you here? "
Although James didn't like Claire very much, after all, Claire was the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, and Claire didn't make any mistakes. Besides, Shelly used the criminal law on her without permission, and she would also be punished!
Blue veins appeared on James's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said with hatred, "Shelly, it seems that Sean hasn't taught you well recently, so you have done such a treacherous thing. Is it possible for outsiders to enter the ancestral hall of the Gu Family! You don't deserve to be my daughter-in-law! How could you make such a stupid mistake? Help me get Mrs. Claire back to her room and punish Shelly according to the family law! "
This woman is really ignorant. Now the Gu Family had been in such a bad mood because of the affair between Molly and Henry. She dared to stir up trouble in such a situation. It would be very embarrassing if such a scandal was exposed!
And because of the rising anger, James's words were a little extreme. Undoubtedly, the word "outsider" referred to Molly. After all, she was just a family friend to the Gu Family, not the sister in law.
His unintentional words made Molly feel ashamed. She wished she could find a place to hide. Molly forced a smile and said stiffly, "Grandpa, maybe it's not the right time for me to come. If I do something wrong, I hope you can forgive me. Since it's all right, I'm gonna go. Aunt... Remember, take care of yourself! "
Shelly's face turned pale when she heard the last sentence. At the beginning, she had expected that Molly would say something nice for her, but when the disaster came, she had already left! Despite her dissatisfaction, Shelly had to kneel down and accept the whipping.
At this moment, Claire, who was lucky enough to pass the tribulation, did not return to her room and was lost on the way back to her room. At this moment, her face was full of doubts, and unconsciously, she began to become hesitant and uneasy.
Blinking her eyes, Claire smiled awkwardly and asked in confusion, "after all... Where am I going? "
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Basically, the Gu Family had a grudge against Claire. Wherever she went, she carried a secret identity and no one wanted to talk to her. Claire had expected this at the beginning, so she didn't feel too surprised, but there was always a lost in her heart. She felt a little disappointed...
After going around the villa for a few circles, Claire finally couldn't help but ask for help from others. She quietly approached an old maid who seemed to be easy to talk to, and then carefully asked, "Hello, I want to go back to the villa, which is a place to sleep, but I can't find a way. Can you help me?"
It was a common thing for the new comers to the Gu Family that they couldn't find the road. However, Claire's reputation had been ruined from the very beginning, so even the maid avoided looking at her. After Claire just asked, the maid ran away quickly, as if she was afraid that Claire would eat people.
Claire was a little embarrassed and froze in place. After a long silence, she slowly dragged her tired body and continued to look for the way. At this moment, she did not know that everything she did was in the eyes of James. Although James was old, he knew very well that this woman was special since she could be liked by Henry. In that case, he had to carefully examine her.
