Elena knew so well what they planned to do. If they took Anna home now, there wouldn’t be any punishment! Anna would just get away with it!
How could she just get away! No way!
However, Grandpa George was already moved by Anna and didn’t want to see her suffering.
Therefore, Logan said with coldness, “Why do you stop here? You still want to teach your daughter how to behave herself, right? What are you doing now?”
Anna gritted her teeth, “Dad, just punish me as I deserve.”
“Anna...” Mrs. Lee wanted to pull her up, but the next second, she could see the veins on Mr. Lee’s forehead popping out because of anger and humiliation. He looked at Mrs. Lee and said, “Go and get a stick!”
“No.” Mrs. Lee shook her head, refusing.
However, the maid of the Browns fetched a stick for him just after hearing his “order”. “Mr. Lee, here you are.”
Seeing the stick, Yolanda was scared. She didn’t forget how painful she was when her father hit her legs with the stick before, which caused her staying in bed for days to recover. So now she immediately decided to stand by and keep silent. Jacqueline was right; she should defend herself rather than Anna.
Logan asked Elena to sit down next to him on the couch. They looked at them indifferently, like just watching a boring soap opera.
Mr. Lee grasped the stick, looking at Anna with sternness, “You had been lying to us for half a year! And you even made such a terrible mistake. So it is so fair to hit you with the stick for 50 times, isn’t it?”
Anna nodded her head in hatred, “Yes, it is!”
“Great!”
As soon as Mr. Lee finished his sentence, he raised the stick and hit on Anna mercilessly. He hit her so hard one after another, which made her scream and cry out of control.
Mrs. Lee was sobbing, counting in tears.
“1...2...”
“26...”
“48...49...50!”
“Enough! Enough! Fifty! Stop it!”
The punishment was just finished. Anna felt so painful that she didn’t even have energy to cry. She moaned in a hoarse voice. Mrs. Lee immediately helped her up.
But Anna was just too week to stand still. Her back was sore, and her cheek was swollen, which made her look pathetic.
But Anna turned to Elena stubbornly, “Elena, are you satisfied now!?”
“So are you remorseful for your crime?” Elena answered her with a question.
Anna took a deep breath, gritting her teeth, “Yes! I am.”
Elena smiled, as if she forgave Anna, “Alright. Then we are even now. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, you can take Anna home now. I forgive her.”
After hearing her words, Mr. Lee relaxed, and handed the stick to the maid. Then he left with Anna and his wife.
