“What? Another fifty lashes?” Sophie was shocked.

Last time, she was bedridden for ages after the punishment. Another fifty now would leave her stuck in bed again.

Sophie was about to plead for leniency, but things took on even worse turn.

“This time, I’ll be the one to deliver all fifty lashes myself. Benedict showed you mercy before, but now he lies poisoned by your hand. He can’t do it, but I can, Gabriel said

At those words, all the color drained from Sophie’s face.

Though Gabriel was her biological father, he never held back when he was angry. Every time he raised his hand against her, it was as if he wanted to break her completely.

Just like earlier, when he stormed in and slapped her, it felt like he was aiming to ruin her face entirely.

Oh, right, her face was already a bloody mess, thanks to her “dear father!

Sophie trembled uncontrollably, her mind racing. If Father really lashes me himself, how could I possibly survive fifty lashes?

But whether she could endure it or not didn’t matter. Once Gabriel issued an order, no one dared to defy him. Lucas stood nearby, his gaze icy as it flicked toward Gabriel, but he held back his anger.

Gabriel answered her with the whip, his fury evident in every strike.

The first lash tore through Sophie’s back, shredding her clothes and leaving a deep, bloody welt that burned like fire. “Good for you! You dare poison your brother without even preparing an antidote? And you still insist you weren’t trying to kill him!”

Gabriel’s rage boiled over, and he lashed out again and again, his voice thundering with fury.

Each strike ripped through Sophie’s flesh, her screams piercing the air as she writhed in unbearable pain on the ground.

“I was wrong. Father! I was truly wrong! Please stop! Stop! It hurts so much, Father! I beg you, please stop! I can’t take it

anymore!

“Sophiel

Matthew rushed in, drawn by the commotion, only to be met with a shocking scene.

His eyes widened in alarm as he shoved past the servants trying to block him, throwing himself between Gabriel and Sophie

“Father, stop! Are you trying to kill her? Matthew said

“Get out of my way!” Gabriel barked.

The more Gabriel thought about it, the anger he became. “Move asidel The fifty lashes aren’t done yet. If you dare interfere again, don’t blame me for whipping you too!

“Father! There must be some misunderstanding. Matthew still couldn’t helishe
