MainNovelThe rattan cane snapped against Carmen’s back, the sound crisp and sharp. With the very first strike, her
scream was so miserable and blood curdling.
She staggered, unable to stay on her knees, and toppled forward. “It hurts, it hurts so much. Trevor, please,

Carmen immediately grabbed Trevor's pant leg, begging for mercy.
‘Is that all you can take?‘ Aubree thought

After all, Carmen was the daughter raised by his side. Even though Ronald now had plenty of complaints about
her and even suspected she might be... When he saw Carmen being beaten, it still made his heart ache a little.
However, that bit of heartache was nothing compared to the benefits Aubree could bring.
Trevor had already raised the cane for a second strike. Carmen squeezed her eyes shut in despair, bracing
herself. Just as the cane was about to cdown, the Wilson family’s front door was suddenly thrown open.
“Stop!”
It was Daxton. He'd gotten there fast.
Aubree let out a small smile. But when Trevor saw it was Daxton, he didn’t stop. Instead, he brought the cane
down even harder and faster.
“Ow! Daxton! It hurts, it hurts so much!” Carmen cried.
Daxton’s anger was blazing as he watched the scene unfold. In just a few quick strides, he rushed over and
shoved Trevor hard. “What are you doing?”
Trevor staggered back a couple of steps. By the the steadied himself, Daxton was already cradling Carmen
in his arms, his face written all over with worry and pain, holding her protectively.
He shot Trevor a furious glare.
“You're back so soon, huh?” Trevor wasn’t the least bit intimidated, his eyes full of contempt. “You want to
protect Carmen? Well, I'm just standing up for Aubree. Do you have a problem with that?”
The only people in the Wilson family that Trevor would even consider listening to were Bryan and Ronald.
Carmen, still trembling in Daxton’s arms, had taken two hard lashes from Trevor, who hadn't held back at all. The
pain was so intense that Carmen was still shaking uncontrollably.
Trevor's words made Daxton’s eyes burn with anger. “Aubree? Where were you all those years ago when you
didn’t even remember Aubree was your sister? Now you suddenly care?”
Aubree agreed with Daxton on that. She thought, Where were they back then? Now that | don’t need them,
suddenly they want to act like I'm their daughter and sister?”
Trevor's expression turned cold in a flash. “Even if you've cback, it doesn’t change a thing. If Carmen
doesn’t get the full punishment tonight, I'll make sure she pays for it tomorrow, the day after, and every day
after that. Unless you plan on never leaving her side, I'll always find a way to get to her.
“Who are you refusing to let go of?”
