She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Sin of Gluttony

It turned out that the so-called "Judgement" was nothing more than a twisted spectacle of murder!

There were various charges brought against the accused, including arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, lust, and gluttony.

Surprisingly, the one accused of the sin of gluttony was a little girl called Vivian, who appeared to be around seven or eight years old. The reason for her punishment was simply because she had snatched a loaf of bread from someone on the street.

They apprehended her and starved her for several days and nights. She was originally a beautiful and clever child, but hunger had reduced her to mere skin and bones. Her oversized gray t-shirt hung loosely on her, revealing her protruding collarbones. She was nothing more than a layer of pale skin wrapped around prominent bones, a pitiable sight.

Her punishment was to eat food. They placed a variety of dishes in front of her: freshly baked soft croissants, brightly colored roasted turkey, sizzling golden-brown steak, grilled sausages, and more.

Being in a state of hunger and innocence, the child never could have imagined that these people intended to kill her. All she saw was the food. Her empty stomach was causing her great discomfort, and she felt an urgent need to eat, especially with such delicious and tempting food in front of her.

With her hands finally free, she rushed towards the food, devouring the roasted turkey recklessly like a famished little wolf.

Her actions were rough and slightly ferocious. She finished an entire roasted turkey, which weighed around two pounds, as well as half a croissant, two sausages, a half-eaten fried egg and steak that fell to the ground, glistening with oil under the lights.

Her belly full, the little girl smiled contentedly.

The radiant smile of satisfaction from sating one's hunger and fulfilling physiological needs captivated everyone.

Look, a child's happiness was so easily attainable and simple. They needed not fear being surrounded by demons disguised as human beings in this darkest of environments.

Among the audience, some wore mocking smiles tinged with pity as they watched her eat, while others discreetly swallowed their saliva. There was still two-thirds of the food remaining on the table, but the little girl had already eaten to her fill. Now, she longed for a drink of water.

A menacing voice filled the air in response to her, coming from the darkly dressed, masked man. "Someone guilty of the sin of gluttony, how could they waste food? All the food on this earth is hard-won. Wasting food means wasting the labor of others. God will be angry, you know."

The little girl finally felt fear. She scooted back and quietly cried, "I'm sorry, but… but I'm already full..."

Yet the man grabbed her hand and lifted her in front of the food, his icy hand gently touching the girl's stomach. His voice softened a bit. "No, you're not full. Didn't you say that your greatest wish was to eat until you burst?"

"Even if you've sinned, a forgiving lord will still fulfill your wish."

"All of this food is prepared for you. How can you not eat it? Come, feed her some more!"

As the words fell, the same two men in black robes with featureless masks from before stepped forward. One restrained the struggling girl, pinning down her hands and feet, while the other covered her mouth with one hand and mechanically forced things into her mouth with the other.

The girl's cries echoed through the hall, and she couldn't even chew. The food was crazily stuffed into her mouth, whether from the plate or fallen on the ground…

None went to waste.
