Chapter 53 Stop Pretending to Be Nice

The tablets of the Stewart family’s ancestors were placed in the Reflection Room in the Stewart’s home Kneeling in the Reflection Room was the most serious punishment for the Stewart family.

Braden was silent the whole time. With the whip marks all over his back, he knelt in front of the tablets, while the ground was so cold and hard that it might break his knees.

“Send someone to guard here. He is not allowed to eat or drink for three days. I’ll see how long he can hold on to it!”

Howard ordered Aspen with a stern face

Aspen

looked at Braden’s bloody back and was very worried. She mustered up her courage to plead, “Mr. Stewart, he just got whipped, and he is seriously injured. Kneeling for three days without eating or drinking will be too much for anyone, including him!”

“He did something wrong, and he was willing to be punished. He said so himself.”

Howard was merciless and didn’t even glance at Braden.

“But… Mrs. Stewart said that she was the one who proposed the divorce, and she had someone she liked. How could that be his fault?”

“That I don’t care!”

Howard’s face was cold, and he took Shirley’s side fair and square. “This brat must have gone too far and hurt her feelings. That’s why she likes someone else. It’s more of the reason why he should

reflect on it.

“No matter what, he cheated on her and made some other woman pregnant. Those are the facts, and those alone deserve him to die to make amends!”

Aspen thought, I know Mr. Stewart. He won’t be soft–hearted whatsoever

Things might get even worse if Mr. Kenny and his wife find out about this.

I’m afraid that the only one who can save Mr. Braden is his ex–wife

The atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious.

“Shirley, try the fish. I remember that you like fish the most, right? It’s made by a new chief this time. Go ahead and see if it suits your taste

“Thank you, Howard.”

Shirley obediently took it and chewed mechanically.

“There are many ways to cook fish. You may steam it, braise it, or fry it. And the most challer;

way is steaming…”

Shirley was absent–minded.

She thought, seriously? Howard, Braden is kneeling in the Reflection Room with a blood–stained back, starving and suffering from the cold. And you are here, discussing ways of making fish with me in high spirits?

After dinner, it was time to leave Shirley looked back several times, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Good girl, go back. Remember to visit me often!”
