A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Chapter 99

Shandie shouted in anger, “No! You didn’t even try to help me—” “Enough!” Henrick roared. He could no longer master his fury and started heaving like he was short on oxygen. Shandie panicked instantly. She grabbed Cindy’s arm and wailed, “Mom, help me! It was all Arielle’s fault.” “Shut up!” Cindy cut in and gave Shandie a forceful slap. Smack! Shandie was stunned by the sudden flare of pain that attacked her.

The slap was so forceful that she could even see stars in her vision. Her cheek promptly turned numb. She reached out to caress her cheek and realized the dental crown she had just paid for was broken. Staring at Cindy in disbelief, she uttered, “Mom?” Did Mom just slap me? Seriously? Cindy held back her guilt and shook her head. “Stop it. You’ve brought harm to the entire family. Get on your knees and beg for your dad’s forgiveness.”

“Mom!” “Get on your knees!” Cindy commanded sternly. Shivering in shock, Shandie trudged obediently to Henrick and dropped to her knees. Alas, Henrick didn’t even spare her a glance. His team had poured in a lot of effort to strike up a deal with Nightshire Group. They were about to sign the contract, but it all went down the drain at the very last minute. It was all Shandie’s fault. Suddenly, he wanted to disown this daughter of his. He would’ve given her a beating, but since Cindy had already slapped her, he couldn’t be bothered to waste his energy.

Henrick announced, “Don’t kneel in front of me. Go to your Aunt Louisa’s monastery to kneel and pray. Six months later, if you have no remorse, you shall follow in your Aunt Louisa’s footsteps in becoming a nun!” Shandie’s eyes widened in consternation. “Dad! Are you throwing me out?” Henrick was too exhausted to talk to her. He waved and ordered the housekeeper, “Pack up her stuff and send her to the monastery now!”

The housekeeper glanced at Cindy instinctively. Parting her lips, Cindy was about to plead with Henrick to change his mind when she noticed her husband’s expression. She shut her eyes in agony and ordered, “Go, help her pack up now.” “Mom! How could you agree with Dad?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I don’t want to be a nun! I want to get married—” “Shut up! You don’t even know your mistake. You should repent at the monastery!” Cindy shot the housekeeper a look, and the latter immediately dragged Shandie out. Even though Shandie had been brought out, her cries could still be heard from afar. Cindy closed her eyes in pain.

She couldn’t bear to let her daughter leave, but she had no choice. If Henrick couldn’t relieve his anger, he might do something even more extreme. Hence, she slapped Shandie first so he wouldn’t beat her up. I wonder if Shandie understood my intentions.
