Evelyn had been beaten with tree branches fifty times, slapped by Nico, locked up in a basement for a whole night, and forced to walk through the mountain for an hour on an empty stomach.

She genuinely thought she would have died long ago, but humans had huge potential for surviving extreme conditions if they had a strong will to live.

With Margaret keeping an eye on her, Evelyn spent the entire morning at the fields digging holes in the ground.

Despite her body being pushed to its limits, she somehow managed to pull through without fainting.

When it came time for lunch, Evelyn was so hungry that she wolved down the food and kept stuffing her face like a hungry beast.

Because she had been starved for so long, the plain buns tasted better than any fancy dish she had ever had in the past.

However, Margaret did not allow her to eat too much. She took the dishes away from Evelyn after the third bun and forced her to go feed the pigs.

Although Evelyn was an illegitimate daughter, Marcus and Asher had always treated her very well, so she had been living a comfortable life since she was a child. She had never even seen a pig, let alone enter a pigsty.

She had only just opened the door to the pigsty when the awful stench overwhelmed her.

Not only did she end up puking all the food she ate, but she also suffered from acid reflux as a result.

“What are you doing standing there? We haven’t got all day! You have ten minutes to get this done, or you won’t be having dinner tonight!” Margaret scolded Evelyn when she saw her still standing outside the pigsty.

This is only my first day here. If I don’t have dinner, I won’t have the energy to finish reciting the Heagurn Sutra, and I won’t be allowed to sleep until I finish it. As if that’s not bad enough, I have to wake up at half past five the next morning! I need to get at least get two to three hours of sleep!

With that in mind, Evelyn held her breath and forcefully suppressed her feelings of disgust as she rushed into the pigsty with the bucket of feedstuff.

She then spent the rest of the afternoon working in the fields. While she was a little slow due to hunger, Evelyn was able to get the job done in time with Margaret yelling at her from the side.

Evelyn breathed a huge sigh of relief and felt glad that she had survived such a grueling day. Little did she know, the real torment was about to start at nightfall.
