Chapter 706:

Thea, in disbelief that the ferule was intended for her, questioned, “Grandma, what are you planning to do with the ferule?”

Felicia gestured toward Thea and said, “Those who misbehave must be punished. You need a good beating, or you’ll forget who truly rules this house.”

Thea was stunned. Her grandma was ordering her to be punished. But why?

Thea cried out. “Ouch! Grandma, what have I done to deserve this? Please explain.”

Felicia gave a dismissive snort. “Still playing innocent, are you?” Felicia then instructed the maid, “Continue until she admits her faults.”

It dawned on Thea that Felicia might know something, which explained the harsh punishment. Realizing that denying was futile, Thea quickly confessed, “Grandma, I admit my mistake. I framed Elyse. It was wrong of me to frame her.”

Upon hearing the confession, Felicia’s heart grew heavier. She had indeed caused injustice to Elyse.
