My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

333 Chapter 332

As Ken spoke, everyone was shocked.

No one had expected that the head of the Davis family would carry out punishment in front of such a large audience.

Even Christina was taken aback, and she exchanged a glance with Victoria.

Although it was the 21st century, with a well-established legal system, families as entrenched as theirs still had their own family laws.

These were in place to punish those who didn’t break the law but smeared the family’s reputation.

Those outside the family weren’t privy to such matters; no family would enforce its laws in front of outsiders. Large families cared about face they wouldn’t broadcast the disciplining of their own, preferring to handle it privately.

Today’s mention of family law was simply meant to pressure the Davis family into punishing Mary upon returning home,

Chad was also confused. “Dad, maybe we should go home and carry this out….”

Once they were back home, the enforcement would be less severe, and the prescribed five lashes might not all be carried out.

But Ken was stubborn. “Since we’ve already made a spectacle, of course, we should do it here and show everyone how strict the Davis family is in managing its affairs!”

Chad was bewildered.

Something seemed off to him.

His father, the family head, was actually quite lenient with those beneath him, resorting to family law only for serious transgressions.

Since Mary had already been given her own residence, effectively distancing her from the main lineage; there was no need to go this far.

Even Mary herself was puzzled.

When she mentioned family law, it was to protect the reputation of the women in the family and to salvage some honor for the Davis family. Yet she knew that Ken wouldn’t really flog her..

But if the flogging was carried out in public… how could Ken possibly spare her?

Mary couldn’t figure out why, but her hand had already moved to her abdomen.

She couldn’t possibly miscarry from a few lashes, could she?

A look of worry crossed her face.

Keira frowned, stepping forward. “Mr. Davis, are you going to publicly use capital punishment? After all, that would be illegal, wouldn’t it?!”

Ken turned to look at her. “I’m disciplining a junior member of my own family. Will someone call the police? Or perhaps you, Mary, will call the police?”
