Chapter 180
Meanwhile, at Watsons manor, another scene was unfolding. Chris had slapped Mandy so hard that she landed on the bed.
Feeling the stinging pain on her cheek, she gingerly massagd her face and asked, “Why did you hit me?”
“You are such a stupid woman!” Upon hearing her question, molten anger rolled through him. “Why did you harm that woman without discussing it with us? Dad and my nephew treated her like a treasure! If they know that you were the one behind it, we will be doomed!”
Despite being slapped, she yelled righteously, “I’m doing it because of you! You are his biological son, yet he‘s giving all his wealth to an outsider!”
“Don‘t be so high and mighty! You are not doing it for me. The truth is, you are doing it for yourself!”
Fury roared through his mind when he thought of the consequences he would face if they found out she was the main culprit.
Upon the thought of it, he removed the belt of his trousers and whipped Mandy.
It was so painful that she clenched her jaws tightly and rolled on the bed in agony.
“I‘m telling you, Mandy. This incident has nothing to do with me! You are only giving the benefits to others. I am involved in it because of your stupidity! You will pay for this!”
Chris was wordless with rage because he knew that Max and Shawn would make him pay as well if they looked into the matter, even if Mandy was the mastermind.
As Mandy felt the pain all over her, immense hatred spread like wildfire in her heart.
Initially, she confessed to her husband with the hope of discussing the situation with him. Yet, all she received was a heavy–handed punishment.

Finally, Chris stopped whipping her because he was exhausted. By that time, she had sustained some injuries.
Glaring at him with hatred, she clenched the sheets tightly with her fingers.
Anyway, Natalie is already dead! So what if Old Mr. Watsons finds out that it was me? He will not send his daughter–in–law to jail!
A few days later, Billy went to the Watsons residence as a representative of the Bowers family.
