When Amanda saw Nathaniel enter, she pulled at his clothes and gestured towards Vivienâs injured knees.
Her knees were no longer fair and smooth.
They were swollen and bruised.
âLook how severely wounded she is! How could you be okay with this?
âShe has been the one I cherish the most since she was a kid.
How could she get this kind of torture? You have to help your sister get her revenge, or she will break down!
Can you really watch your sister suffer like this?â

Amanda couldnât stop crying and whining.
She knew that her son wouldnât be able to bear to see his mother like this.
She was determined to teach Lucinda a lesson!
She couldnât let this go.
Nathaniel remained silent, his lips tightly clamped together.
As he stared at Vivienâs injured knees, he was deep in thought, trying to figure out something.
Before he went upstairs, Nathaniel talked to the servants and knew Amanda had once falsely accused Lucinda of stealing her jewelry.
He vaguely remembered hearing something about it while working overtime at the company, but he didnât know the full story.
A lump formed in his throat.
Lucinda had endured such sorrow and ultimately chose to end her marriage with him.

The picture of Lucinda kneeling outside their house in the rain flashed through Nathanielâs mind.
He couldnât imagine how much pain she must have endured.
Vivien had only kneeled for a short time, yet her knees were so bruised.
He wondered what Lucindaâs knees must have looked like that night.
Despite everything, she never told him about her troubles.
Amandaâs voice interrupted Nathanielâs thoughts.
âNathaniel? Are you listening to me?â Amanda asked, shaking his arm.
âYour father entrusted your sister and me to your care.
Logan is no longer with us, so you canât just allow us be taunted by Lucinda now that youâre the head of the family.
â
Since she was unable to change her sonâs mind with the love he might have for family, Amanda reminded him of his obligation and pledge to protect them.
Amanda didnât believe that after she said that, he would still choose to be on that bitchâs side.
Nathaniel turned towards Amanda, curiosity etched on his face.
âWhat did you do to Lucinda before? I want to know everything.
â
Amanda was taken aback by Nathanielâs sudden interest in Lucindaâs past struggles.
