Sienna did not dare to look at him. I must appear ugly, seeing that I’m in a mess right now. Subconsciously, she covered her swollen cheek with her hand, not wanting Dixon to see her in such a manner.
“Do you know how much Aunt Sienna has earned for the Haddock Group? Do you know how much she has done for the Haddock Group’s reputation?” A sneer grew on Dixon’s lips. “The old man is still lying in his hospital bed, yet you’re beating her up here? Here’s my warning. Whoever looks down on Sienna Oates will be looking down on me as well.”
Sienna raised her head to stare at Dixon in shock.
W-What did he just say? How can this be possible? He’s protecting me?
Perking a brow up, he crouched down. Like a devil straight from hell, he grabbed Jennifer’s chin and uttered, “Witch. Which hand of yours had you used to hit her?”
“I... I...” Jennifer could barely breathe, as she was an inch away from the feces. She had gagged and retched into the tray several times now.
“You can’t tell me? I guess you’ll lose both of your hands then.” Dixon waved, as another group of men in black rushed over from the end of the corridor. One of the men had a large knife in his hands, and he walked over, towards Jennifer.
Without saying anything, he grabbed his hand and raised the knife.
“No! Don’t! Dixon, I was wrong! I won’t pick a bone with Sienna anymore. Dixon, aren’t you afraid of Dad holding you accountable for this?” Jennifer shrieked maniacally. Her eyes were as wide as saucers, and her back was soaked in sweat.
A pungent smell came from her bottom.
Ashlyn could not help but frown.
Dixon retracted his hand and muttered, “Coward. She’s soiled herself.”
He stood up, and a man instantly handed him a clean handkerchief. He took it and wiped his hands with a look of disdain.
Just as Jennifer sighed, thinking that Dixon was letting her off, she heard the man’s nonchalant voice. “Chop them off.”
Thump! A muffled noise.
A knife swung down.
A hand fell onto the ground.
“Ah!” Jennifer screamed, as she held onto her left arm and stared at the mutilated spot. Blood was gushing out of the stump.
