Forbidden Passion

Chapter 705 What Did You Do

Bishop stared at the whip in his hand, his eyes wide with fear as he backed away, shouting, "Theodore, I'm part of the Johnson Family now! If you hurt me, they won't let you get away with it!" Theodore stepped closer, whip in hand, and looked down at Bishop. "How many times did you whip her? Over fifty, right? It's been three years. How about I give you two hundred?" Before Bishop could respond, Theodore lashed him once. Bishop screamed, and a red welt appeared on his white shirt.

Theodore scratched his ear and said coldly, "Gag him."

The bodyguards moved in. Without a cloth, they pulled off their socks and stuffed them into Bishop's mouth. Bishop kept cursing until the socks silenced him.

With Bishop gagged, the room fell silent..

Theodore didn't hold back, each lash fueled by three years of pent-up rage. Bishop twitched with every strike. At first, he howled, but soon he didn't have the strength to make a sound.

The stench of the socks made Bishop want to vomit. He wanted to spit them out and tell Theodore it wasn't him who hurt Phoebe, but he had no chance.

The whip cracked through the air. Theodore paused, unbuttoning his shirt and rolling up his sleeves to move more freely.

Just then, Theodore's phone rang.

Ignoring it, he lashed Bishop again. Seeing Bishop covered in blood, he sneered, "Do you know what I thought when I found Phoebe and saw her injuries?" Bishop was barely conscious.

"I wanted to tear you apart, Bishop. You could mess with me, but you crossed the line when you hurt her. If you walk out of here alive today, stay far away from her. If you show up in front of her again, I'll make sure you have no place to rest in peace."

Bishop glared at Theodore with hatred.
