Aliya, frustrated and unwilling to deal with Kristen, turned to leave.
Kristen seized the moment, grabbing her hair and holding on tightly.
"Pouring dirty water on me? Let's settle this once and for all!" Kristen exclaimed, shoving aside the other women who tried to intervene.
She slapped Aliya repeatedly, leaving her face swollen and bruised.
The commotion drew attention, and Declan quickly emerged.
He glared at the group of disheveled women and shouted, "Do you even know what you're doing?"
At the sound of his voice, Kristen stopped, collapsing to the ground with an air of vulnerability.
She pointed at Aliya and said, "She accused me of stealing her spot, claiming that this shipment run was hers!"
Aliya panicked, quickly pleading, "Mr. Blackwell, that's not what I meant! She's lying! She hit me first!"
Kristen remained indifferent. "Then explain the dirty water all over me. You wanted my wounds to get infected so you could take my place."
Aliya's fear grew, especially under Declan's intense gaze.
A cold shiver ran down her spine.
Declan spoke icily, "Kristen, haven't I taught you not to bother with those you don't like? Fighting is beneath you."
"Understood, Daddy," Kristen replied.
Then, she signaled to one of Declan's bodyguards and ordered, "Throw her in the river. Make sure you leave no trace.
Everyone was stunned.
Kristen had always been the meek one, the one who got beaten without fighting back.
None of them had ever seen this cold, commanding side of her.
However, Declan seemed pleased, watching her with a newfound sense of pride.
"Kristen, you've grown up," Declan said.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
