368.Chapter 368

“Drag them to the censetery and make them kneel for three days. No food or water unless I say so.”

At Gabriel’s command, the shadow quards immediately stepped forward and dragged Eliza and Matthew away.

One of Lucas’s subordinates whispered, “Mr. Carter, are we just going to stand by and watch?”

The beating was one thing, but starvation and dehydration for three days? That could kill them.

Lucas shook his head. “No need.”

He had seen through it–while Gabriel might appear harsh on the surface, he hadn’t completely abandoned Sophie.

If Gabriel truly wanted to punish her, why didn’t he have someone pull Matthew away when he rushed in? Instead, he let them both take the beating together, and most of the lashes ended up landing on Matthew.

Sophie barely took a few strikes after the initial blows.

Since Gabriel had already held back during the whipping, it’s clear he wouldn’t let things go too far now.

Of course, all of this hinged on the survival of Benedict, Gabriel’s eldest son.

Before coming here, they had thoroughly investigated the Stonor family and understood the significance of Benedict to Gabriel

As the future heir, if anything were to happen to Benedict, Gabriel might genuinely kill Sophie.

After all, no matter how much Gabriel might care for or dote on Sophie, an illegitimate daughter, Sophie could never surpass the importance of the Stonor family’s rightful heir.
