The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 68

Arthur, who normally went to bed early, was so furious tonight he couldn't sleep.

The moment Julian stepped through the door, he was met with a brutal whipping, beaten until he was clinging to life.

He couldn't even scream anymore!

"Dad, Dad, please stop! You're going to kill him if you hit him again!"

Just as Arthur raised the whip to strike Julian again, Vivienne fell to her knees and tearfully clung to his arm.

Arthur was vibrating with rage. "Then let this useless piece of trash die!"

Vivienne choked back a sob.

"Get off me!"

He kicked Vivienne away and brought the whip down on Julian several more times!

In his youth, Arthur Sinclair had been a force to be reckoned with in the city. Watching his family line grow weaker with each generation was a constant thorn in his side.

Especially Julian...

Every time he looked at him, he wanted to beat him to death!

Vivienne was kicked aside, and seeing the murderous intent in Arthur's eyes, she had no doubt Julian might actually be beaten to death today.

Ignoring the pain in her own body, she scrambled forward and hugged Arthur's legs. "Dad, Dad, no matter what he's done, he's still your biological grandson. You can't be this ruthless!"

"Mom, say something! You agreed to let them divorce today, didn't you..."

"Shut up! You dare bring up today?!"

Eleanor, who had been sitting in silence, shot Vivienne a glare full of venom.

Thinking about the absolute humiliation she had endured at the City Registry today!

She had never been so humiliated in her entire life, and today, she lost all her dignity because of Julian and Stella.

Seeing that Eleanor wasn't going to show any mercy.

Vivienne clung tighter to Arthur's legs. "Dad, tell me! Tell me what we have to do to make this right!"

"Beat me instead! Kill me if you have to, but please, you can't hit him anymore."

Vivienne sobbed hysterically.

That wretched Stella. This was all that jinx's fault.

Why did a woman like her even need to hold onto those assets? Did she honestly think she had what it takes to protect that Zenith Cipher on her own?

In the past, the Sinclair family had shielded her!

Now that she had discarded them, did she really think she could hold onto a map to unimaginable wealth by herself?

Without the Sinclairs, the Vances wouldn't protect her either! She was going to end up dead, and she wouldn't even know what hit her...!
