SWNOVELS Chapter 688: Apologize
Was she going to be so unreasonable?
With her red eyes, Florence was upset and said, “What are you doing? How can you beat me?”
Since she was young, she had never been so angry before.
The woman was not guilty at all about what she had done. Instead, she had a condescending attitude when she pointed at
Florence rudely and scolded her loudly.
“A wretched woman like you should deserve to be beaten up. Otherwise, you will never know about the complexity of things in
this world and the rules of being a woman!”
While scolding her, she walked towards Florence aggressively, lifted her leg and intended to kick Florence’s body.
The woman’s slippers were similar to wooden clogs and were quite heavy. If the woman kicked her, she would feel great pain.
Florence never thought that the woman would be overbearing and shrewish to such an extent.
Once Florence had disagreed with the woman, the woman assaulted her physically.
She didn’t even treat Florence as her servant.
Except that she was living in the woman’s house temporarily, she had no other relationships with that woman!
Florence was so angry that she couldn’t put up with this situation anymore. However, she couldn’t do anything at that moment
except that she rolled on the ground to avoid the woman’s kick.
The woman missed her target and was instantly infuriated. It was as if Florence had done something unforgivable.
“Wretched woman, I cannot believe that you dare to dodge my kick? You really have no shame at all. Your actions disgust me!”
It was as if the woman claimed the moral high ground using her sincere and serious words. Her accusation made Florence feel
as if she had committed a heinous crime.
Where did the woman learn her values?
The women who were washing their clothes originally acted as spectators. Due to the woman’s words, they put down their
clothes and walked towards Florence’s location.
All of them were looking at Florence with piercing and hostile eyes.
They had accusing eyes.
Florence nearly couldn’t believe that she was actually facing this situation. Everything that happened was absurd beyond belief.
What kind of place was this?
The woman didn’t even wait for Florence to figure out the situation. The infuriated woman immediately picked up a rod beside
her, raised it above her head and swung it downwards. The rod was going to strike Florence who was lying on the ground.
The rod was as thick as a human’s arm. If it struck someone’s body, bones would easily be fractured.
She was acting so brutally. Was she out of her mind?
Florence’s scalp felt numb. Ignoring the pain on her body, she hurriedly got up and intended to run away.
However, just after she had taken two steps, several women blocked her way. It was as if a wall had blocked her way.
“Mosadefute.”
One of the women yelled something that was unintelligible to Florence and made the first move. She stood in front of Florence
and grabbed Florence’s arm.
Florence was shocked.
At the same time, another woman walked up to Florence and grabbed Florence’s other arm. She used great strength to force
Florence’s hands behind her back.
“Little wretched woman, you dare to run away. I will first break your legs!”
Holding the rod, the woman who lived with Florence walked up to Florence aggressively.
Since her hands had been bound, Florence couldn’t move anymore. She was completely stunned and panicked.
What was wrong with these people?
Why didn’t they persuade the woman to stop her actions when they saw the woman assaulting Florence? They even aided in the
woman’s evil acts and helped the woman to restrain Florence’s movements.
Florence could feel her accelerated heartbeat and was panicking. She saw the thick and heavy rod swinging towards her body.
She shivered as the wind whooshed past her body.
Barbaric.
Barbaric people.
Florence was angry and sad. But she couldn’t do anything except that she closed her eyes.
“Bang!”
There was a deep and loud sound of the rod hitting someone.
However, she didn’t feel the immense pain that she had expected. The grip on her arms also loosened to a great extent.
Florence was puzzled. What was going on?
She was surprised and opened her eyes. She then saw a tall figure standing in front of her. He was the man who she missed
terribly.
Looking at him, all her panic and fear disappeared at that instant. She felt wronged.
She choked up and said, “Ernest, why did you take so long to get here?”
Ernest stood in front of Florence and was holding the rod.
He gave Florence a sidelong look. When he saw Florence’s red eyes and the aggrieved look on her face, he felt a sharp pain in
his heart.
He used his strength to grab the rod away from the woman and then threw it on the ground with great force.
His whole body was radiating a hostile aura that terrified people.
Once the rod had left her hand, the woman lost control of her body and stumbled forward with two or three steps. She lost her
footing and fell to the ground.
She grazed her knees. Her knees were bleeding.
But she didn’t show her aggressive and overbearing attitude in the slightest. Her anger disappeared. She hurriedly got up from
the ground and explained the situation to Ernest.
“Mr. Hawkins, the girl didn’t obey my orders. She was lazy and did her work perfunctorily. Therefore, I punished her.”
She said confidently with burning eyes.
Her attitude made Florence’s blood boil.
She didn’t even have any relationships with the woman. Why did the woman scold her and assault her since the beginning as if
the woman was educating her?
Florence had a lot of pent-up anger and was infuriated.
She raised her small head, looked at Ernest with an aggrieved expression and spoke.
“She is too fierce. I have never seen such an unreasonable person before.”
In just an hour or two, Florence was going to lose her mind due to this woman.
If Ernest still didn’t come to her aid, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death.
Ernest lowered his brows. He had a gloomy aura that could frighten someone. It was as if he was surrounded by suffocating cold
air.
He gave the woman a cold stare. His piercing words made an impact on everyone.
“Do I need you to teach my girl a lesson?”
The man’s powerful and dangerous aura filled the air. The woman instantly looked pale and took two steps backwards out of
fear.
Her aggressive and overbearing attitude disappeared, and she had a smile on her face to please the man.
She explained, “Mr. Hawkins, you may not be familiar with the rules here. The women here are united and will help to educate
each other.”
“Since she is here, you don’t need to worry about your girl. I will help you to educate her.”
Florence was simply dumbfounded.
Their definition of being united was to work together to bully her?
Moreover, who did the woman think she was to educate Florence?
Was the woman even eligible to educate Florence?
Florence was even angrier. Her pent-up anger was going to drive her crazy.
With a gloomy expression, Ernest strode towards the woman using his long slender legs. His tall body instantly came close to
the woman.
He suddenly strangled the woman using his slender fingers.
His deep voice was magnetic and pleasing to the ear. At the same time, it resembled the sound of the Grim Reaper and gave her
goosebumps.
“Then I will teach you my rules here. If someone dares to touch my girl, he will die.”
The woman was suffocating and as a result, her face reddened. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
But she didn’t struggle at all. She only begged for mercy fearfully.
“Mr. Hawkins, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to infuriate you. I beg you to have mercy on me. I still don’t want to die.”
Florence stood at the side in a daze. At that moment, she couldn’t describe her emotions.
Generally speaking, when a normal person apologized to someone in this situation, she would say that she shouldn’t have
bullied and beaten her, she would never do it again and so on.
But the woman had only apologized to Ernest and begged him to have mercy on her. It was as if she did it not because she had
assaulted Florence, but because she had made Ernest upset.
