Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Chapter 34 Embarrassment



“And you, get out and kneel down with her!” Betty shouted in anger.

Doris wanted to say more, but was stopped by Esther. The latter stared at Betty and said, “This has nothing to do with my mother at all. You can’t punish her and I’ll do that alone.”

Esther, who fell on the ground from the beating, struggled to rise to her feet. She looked decisive and walked towards the door.

Beneath the gloating gazes of Anne and James, she walked down the stairs and knelt down directly.

The cold rain poured down from above her head, wetting her dress. She was soaked to the skin and felt the new wounds in pain. The hard cobblestones also hurt her knees.

She closed her eyes in agony, feeling extremely disappointed with the people in front of her.

Her grandmother, her half-sister, and the man she once loved…Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She might be stupid to make such a decision and also felt anguish in her heart. But she was willing to suffer this, because she finally found a reason to sever ties with them.

Whether it was family or the man she loved, they would be nothing to her from now on. This might be good to her!

She remembered the last time she was beaten and punished to kneel down for a whole day by her grandmother. It was a year ago when she was preoccupied with the urgent work for the company’s new product launch and couldn’t get home. But Anne was jealous of her having a good boyfriend like James, making up a lie that she was hanging out with men.

At that time, she and James were still a loving couple. He even stayed with her in the company all night.

Just as she thought that the same thing would happen to her again, she felt the darkness above her head and the rain also stopped. She looked up in surprise and saw an unfamiliar woman standing beside her with a big black umbrella.

The woman was in good shape with a pretty face. Her black high heels were wetted by the rain on the ground.

She looked down at Esther with a reproachful expression. “Mrs. Gibson, Mr. Terence is sick. Why are you still here? Are you not afraid that he’ll be angry after waking up without seeing you?”

Esther was puzzled. She looked up at the woman and asked, “What…?”

Terence was sick? But wasn’t he fine just now? What happened?

“Go back with me right now. Mr. Terence is waiting for you.” The woman bent over and helped her up from the ground.

Esther was confused. She raised her hand to touch the rain on her face and looked at everyone under the roof.

Doris took a large towel from the room and rushed out. She gathered it around Esther and said anxiously, “Go, Esther. Hurry up and leave….”

Hurry up and leave this place. If she didn’t leave now, she would definitely suffer!

Betty sneered and said coldly, “You are lucky this time. But if you dare disobey me again like this, I’ll break your legs!”

Seeing Betty let Esther go, Anne was anxious and said, “Grandma, she hasn’t said anything about that man yet. How can you let her go?”

Before Betty could speak, the beautiful woman said first, “Oh right, Mr. Terence said that he will deal with his wife’s private life, so you don’t need to bother, Madam Cusack.”

Betty was at a loss for words, feeling extremely embarrassed.
