Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Tiffany was pleased when she saw the darkened
expression of her grandfather, but she remembered
to keep her facade. ” Amelia, stop saying that. I
believe Charmine didn’t do it on purpose. She must’ve
been busy taking care of her diamond business and
forgot to ring up Grandpa. Grandpa, please don’t be
mad.”
With that, everyone’s looks went a shade darker.
Busy? She was just ungrateful! The disappointed look
on Drake went a few shades darker too.
Meanwhile, Charmine seemed to enjoy the act
between Amelia and Tiffany. She watched them with
an amused look as though she was a queen being
entertained. “Are you two done?”
She nonchalantly turned her gaze upward, and with a
smirk on her face, she started, “In the past five years,
I’ve tried t o contact Grandpa for a hundred and ten
times, but the line was always busy. I’ve sent ten gifts
to Grandpa in total, but none of the gifts was ever
delivered to him. I even tried sending him emails, but
every email was blocked by a hacker. You have the
guts to ask me why didn’t I contact Grandpa?”
Charmine spoke with drive and force in every word
uttered. She then took out a stack of papers and
tossed them to Amelia and Tiffany.
The papers fluttered mid-air, and everyone looked up
to see the evidence of Charmine’s purchasing history,
mail history, call history, and other things associated.
There was also proof of her calls and emails
intentionally disrupted. 0 n top of that, there were
also photos of Amelia and her assistant Zoey
collecting the presents and throwing them away.
Everyone stood, transfixed with the proof mid-air,
while Amelia’s face lost all its color.
How could this be? How did Charmine find out, and
with all the proof to boot?
Drake looked at the papers and instantly understood.
His face turned red as his mustache trembled in fury.
“Good. Very well! Amelia Jordan, how dare you do
these behind my back? Hobson, get the whip and
whip her hard!”
As he did not want to drag it any longer, Hobson took
out a whip and walked toward Amelia. The long whip
was filled with thorns, and under the light, one could
clearly see dried out bloodstains still visible on the
thorns.
Utterly terrified, Amelia’s legs turned into jelly as they
quaked. “Grandpa, it wasn’t me,” she whimpered
feebly, “she made these up! These aren’t real!”
“Whip her, and with all your strength!” Drake did not
want to hear anything from Amelia as he turned
away from her. i
Watching her precious daughter on the verge of a
gruesome punishment, Lily rushed forward and
begged, “Dad, please forgive her. Just once, please
forgive Amelia for just this time. She didn’t mean it!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Whoever tries to beg me will be punished along with
her,” Drake declared coldly.
Lily instantly zipped up, but a thought then occurred
to her as she turned to Tiffany. “Tiffany, my good
niece, please help Amelia and say something in her
stead. She had never been beaten in her life, and she
likes her appearance so much. There will be scars!”
“I…” Tiffany looked around as if a thought occurred to
her. “Auntie, I don’t have a say here. Charmine is the
victim, s o if she can forgive Amelia, Grandpa will let
it go for sure.”
Hearing that, Lily ran toward Charmine. ” Charmine,
I’m begging you! Amelia was wrong, and she didn’t
mean it…!”
“Mom, don’t beg her. She’s a b*tch! She made these all
up, it wasn’t me!” Amelia cried out. i
Amelia’s words only fueled Senior Jordan’s anger.
“Whip her, now!” he snapped.
“Please excuse me.” Hobson lowered his head.
Two bodyguards went forward and pressed Amelia
onto the bench. Hobson raised the thorn-filled whip
in the air, and swung it toward Amelia’s back
strongly.
Then… “Argh!” A loud scream resonated i n the hall.
