Chapter 402
This was the first time Erin was punished physically. Her legs trembled, unable to maintain her balance,
causing her to tumble to the floor. Instinctively, she
wanted to support herself, but the pain in her palms shot through her. She cried uncontrollably,
struggling to catch her breath.
Faye rushed to her side, offering support and checking the wounds on Erin’s palms.
Sheena, with an unwavering stern expression, placed a box of anti-
inflammatory ointment on the table. “Remember the rules well. I don’t tolerate any defiance. In seven

Erin on the floor, Sheena left.
In these seven days, Erin, intimidated by the punishment, obediently memorized the entire book.

Sheena did not purposely make it hard for her, adhering to the strictest standards, and administered
ten strikes, leaving Erin in pain and frustration.

Sheena allowed her to vent. “Not bad. Your complaints are more civilized now, but I bet you’ve been

Erin fell silent, glaring at Sheena with resentment.
Of course, she could not resist muttering a few bad words every time she used the bathroom or before

Although Erin felt aggrieved, she had been thoroughly intimidated by Sheena. Before speaking, she
would think twice. As the days passed, the number of beatings she received reduced.
The Fourth of December arrived.
Farlem welcomed its first heavy snowfall, blanketing the city in enchanting white. Sheena, draped in a
white fox fur coat paired with a dark lace gown, looked elegant and regal. She intentionally cut several
beautiful red flowers, visited the cemetery, and tended to Elijah’s grave.
Elijah’s tombstone was covered in snow. Sheena patiently cleared it away and spoke tenderly to him.
