Anne is afraid Lucien will know the truth. She runs up to Lucien, "Lucien, forget it. I'm not going to let her apologize to me. Just let her leave Gray Family!"
Nina's head was smashed. She may also be in pain. It's a pity that her hair is too long so she can't see if her forehead is swollen. If only she had smashed the bowl on her face just now!
Anne thinks maliciously in her heart.
Lucien touches Anne's hair. "Anne, is it still painful?"
Anne pouts up, pretending to be aggrieved. "It hurts. If Dad knows I was bullied, he will be sad."
Lucien's face darkens when Anne mentions Dad. He comes to Nina with a cold face and says, "Nina, apologize to my sister."
Nina's eyes widen in surprise. What? Just now Anne came and rubbed against the knife. She didn't mean to stab her!
Besides, she smashed her head with a bowl! Now she's in pain, too! Why make her apologize!
Nina grits her lips stubbornly. She is adamant not to apologize.
Lucien gets angry. "Nina, do you apologize or not?"
Nina is still silent.
Anne says, "look at her! She doesn't admit it! Shut her up in the black house! She won't be so arrogant then!"
Lucien frowns. He stares angrily at Nina. He says coldly, "call Ryan. Throw her in the little black house!"
The little black house is in the most remote corner of Gray Family's mansion. Only servants who make a big mistake are thrown there. There is no sunshine all the year round. It's cold and dark. People can't stay there for long. No matter how strong they are, they will collapse. Gray Family once locked two servants there, and then they were all mad.
There is a smug smile on Anne's face. You can't beat me. I'm my brother's sister! You're just a woman with other people's child. You dare to fight me!
Nina is shocked when she sees the happy smile on Anne's face. It seems that this little black house is not a good place. She quietly touches her pocket with her hand. Fortunately, the mobile phone is in it.
With the heavy sound of the iron door, Nina is pushed into the black house by Ryan and a group of housekeepers. The cold floor is greasy, and the room is so dark that there is hardly any light in it. The first impression Nina gets from the black house was depression, coldness and horror.
Nina curls up in the corner. She puts her head on her arm. It's ridiculous! Just now she wanted to explain. She thinks Lucien will at least listen to her explanation. She thinks they has been together so long that Lucien knows her.
She is too naive! Who does she think she is! She's just a mistress, a plaything! When the plaything conflicts with his sister, even if the plaything has no fault at all, she will still be punished!
The heavy iron door is pushed open from the outside. Paige comes in with a thick blanket.
"This is what young master asked me to send in." In the sun, Paige looks at Nina apologetically. She shouldn't have lied. But as a servant, she needs to live here and listen to her masters.
Nina doesn't speak. Paige adds, "young master is angry now. When he's not angry, he'll take you out! Young master still loves you very much, otherwise he won't let me send such a thick blanket."
These blankets are for young master's own use. They are made of pure worsted cashmere. A blanket is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Paige finds it a pity to put them on the dirty floor.
Nina still doesn't speak. She is so tired that she doesn't want to talk to anyone. She is disappointed. Lucien doesn't even trust her.
Paige sighs and walks out of the black house. The room falls into darkness again.
Dad is going to have an operation tomorrow. She hopes Lucien will not break his promise. When the operation is over, she must leave. She will endure another day!
