One commotion had just ended, and now, another one was beginning.
CLCurrently, neither Gregory nor Justin were at home, which just proved th the saying that âwhen the
catâs away, the mice come out to playâ was tritrue.
BeBethany was certain that Carrie had snitched to Grandpa. Thus, she aran to Carrieâs room and
dragged her by the hair to the living room.
BeBethany had mimicked how her father humiliated Justin in public.
âBâB-Bethany⦠Let go! It hurts!â Carrieâs eyes were filled with tears, and shshe felt like her scalp was
about to be torn off.
YoYou traitorous, spying bitch! So you still feel pain? Thatâs exactly how tshshould be!Today, I have to
teach you a lesson as your older sister!â
BeBethany cursed at Carrie. She suddenly raised her arm high and slateeded Carrie.
âAhh!â
The crispsgosodd of the slap startled all the employees.
They watchobdessas the gentle, weak Carrie fell heavily to the ground from the force of the stap.
Everyone was very ry worried for Carrie, but as the Salvador familyâs employees, they gooddiicnot
intervene in their mastersâ matters and could only keep sileiteratengrily.
âBethanyâ¦yl was wrongngl.wawas wrong! I wonât do it again!â Carrie sobbed, covering her face.
She knew that no one was going to help her.
Carrie wanted to fight back, but her body was as soft as a ball of dough, and she had no strength to
support herself.
Bethany was Grandpaâs favorite granddaughter and their parentsâ favorite daughter. How could Carrie
stand up to Bethany?
Bella could leave whenever she wanted, but Carrie had no way of leaving this house. So all she could
do was put up with Bethanyâs abuse. This was how she survived.
âMs. Carrie! Ms. Carrie!â
Linny ran over to kneel beside Carrie and gathered her into her arms, crying. âMs. Bethany! Ms. Carrie
is also Chairman Salvadorâs daughter! What right do you have to bully Ms. Carrie?!â
âHuh?!â
Bethany huffed an angry laugh upon hearing this and propped a hand on her hip as she looked at them
menacingly. âI didnât expect you to have made such a good friend in this house, little idiot!â
âL-Linny⦠Donât mind me and get away!â
Carrie was well aware of what her bull of an older sister was capable of and was afraid she would not
be able to protect Linny. She anxiously tried to cover Linnyâs mouth.
âI wonât!â
Linny hugged Carrie tightly, glaring at Bethany with red, teary eyes. â
Even if I die here or get kicked out of Savrow, I wonât leave you! Ms. Bethany, donât you know youâre
breaking the law? Even if Ms. Carrie is your little sister, you shouldnât raise your hand against her to
hurt her. This is assault, and itâs illegal!â
âThatâs hilarious! Who do you think you are to raise your voice at me?!â
Bethany burst out into wild laughter before kicking Linnyâs shoulder and knocking her down. âSo what if
Iâm committing assault? What can you do to me? Sue me if you dare!â
Linny fell to the floor, her shoulder hurting so much. It felt like her bones had shattered.
The other helpers were enraged by this. Some of them wanted to step in but were stopped by others.
Although the Salvadors did not hold total control over Savrow, it was pretty close to it.
If they stepped up now in a moment of anger, it was highly possibl that they would no longer be able to
stay in Savrow.
No matter how angry they were, they were still ordinary employees They had to take their futures and
their relativesâ futures into consideration.
âBethany Salvador!â
Carrie could tolerate being beaten, but when she saw Linny get kicked, an uncontrollable fury gushed
out from somewhere deep within her weak and timid self. Her eyes turned red.
âWhat?! What did you just call me? How dare you shout my full name?!â
Bethany was shocked by Carrieâs never-before-seen anger.
This idiot had dared to talk back to her for the sake of a mere servant.
Has she gone mad?!
