After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 84 A Painful Lesson

Karen’s twisted and embarrassing face was blatantly exposed to all others in the Wells family.

Nobody could have imagined that there was a despicable person living under the skin of a gentle, kind

and obedient girl.

For that reason, although Karen was in a weakened position, they stopped giving her any ounce of

sympathy.

When they recalled all the deception they had received all those years, they couldn’t help feeling

furious.

Robert Wells was especially enraged.

He looked like his world was torn to pieces.

It was already devastating enough that her daughter wasn’t a kind-hearted person, but now he

discovered that she had such dirty thoughts in her head. He couldn’t believe she had those thoughts

swimming in her head.

In his whole life, although Robert was scheming enough in the business world, he still never defied and

went back on his principles as he served as the breadwinner for the family. He never did anything that

would harm others, but at this moment he realized he had such an unforgivable daughter all along.

“Get me the whip!” Robert roared at his maid.

According to the domestic discipline of the Wells family, anyone who committed a sin would be

punished with the whip.

In the history of their growing up days, only Oscar had experienced once this punishment.

At that time, his skin had been almost impaled and he had not been able to get off his bed for one

whole week.

Now, Karen would face this too.

Robert’s words freaked Karen out.

She could still bring back with sheer clarity how Oscar was whipped with blood all over him.

She remembered she had written in the diary her hatred for Robert back then.

However, at that moment, such a severe punishment was going to befallen her.

Karen could barely believe that Robert would beat her so brutally.

Since little, she had had undergone countless surgeries. Every time when the anaesthetic wore off, she

couldn’t endure any little lingering soreness that came after the surgeries and she would let the doctor

give her more anaesthetic. There was no way she was going to survive the pain brought by whipping

by her father.

She scrambled to her feet anxiously and clutched Venus’s shirt, “Mum, I don’t want to get whipped by

dad. I don’t want that to happen!”

Venus was frustrated yet angry at the same time.

When she watched her daughter suffer, she naturally felt a deep sorrow and agony since she had

raised Karen since she was a toddler. But when she thought that Karen had harbored those despicable

and filthy thoughts in the head, she felt she would burst with anger and shame.

“Mum, I know my mistake now, and I swear that I won’t harm anybody else from now on. I won’t like

Oscar anymore, so mum, stop dad from beating me, I’ll die from the whipping… Mum, please save

me…” Karen’s tears were gushing.

She was once again her weakened and pitiful self at that moment.

However, Venus didn’t budge and she wouldn’t be fazed by Karen’s begging anymore.

She simply stood rooted to the ground and stared at her daughter without saying anything.

“Mum, do you want to see me die? Mum, you love me... All these years, it was not easy to raise me to

who I am today, and you are always in pain whenever I was pushed to the surgical theatre every time.

You won’t simply watch me get whipped by dad, mum…”

“Enough!” Venus pushed Karen away.

Karen couldn’t believe her eyes as she stared at Venus who looked aloof. It was hard to believe that

her mother who loved her so much would treat her like this.

“Every time you were sick, I always blamed it on myself. Every time I saw you enter the surgical room, I

would always curse at myself for not bestowing you a healthy body. I even wanted to give my very life

to you. But now I wish I have never had a daughter like you, I’m guilty about bringing you up with all my

sympathy and love, which turned you into what you are now.”

Karen was at a total disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that her mother who loved her the most would say such words.

Her mother was showing an expression of disgust at her too.

She felt like her consciousness was waning and disappearing.

Karen was shaking her head weakly as if she was completely deserted by the world. All of a sudden,

she started to scream madly, “Aren’t all of you at fault for turning me into who I am today? Aren’t you

the sinners who gave me an unhealthy body? I was trapped all my life at home since little, and I never

could live a normal life. I can’t run, can’t make friends, can’t fall in love, I can’t do anything. I need to

shoulder the suffering from my weak body, so aren’t you at fault for causing me such misery? Aren’t

you all at fault for turning me into such a twisted person? Do you think I have no reason to hate all of

you? Shouldn’t I do just that? Why do you stay healthy while I don’t, and why do you have the freedom

to do anything while I can only push back my feelings?”

Everyone was stunned by Karen’s incessant screaming once again.

Her maddening and sickening demeanour gave everyone a reason to feel disgust especially thinking

back on the love they used to have for her.

“That’s right, I love Oscar. I love him with all my heart!” Karen finally admitted with a strange sense of

confidence, “Am I wrong for loving him? No, you are the ones in the wrong! I have never gotten close to

anyone in all my life, so there are only a handful of people that I can befriend. I can only like those that I

know. If that person is not David, it should be Thomas, if not it should be Oscar. What choice do I have

anyway?”

“Karen!” Robert’s roar seemed to rock the whole house.

“You should feel lucky that Oscar can have my life. After all, Oscar isn’t your…”

With a loud slapping sound, Robert slapped Karen across her face without warning.

Karen fell into a daze.

Since her childhood days, nobody would use rude languages against her, let alone hitting her.

But now, she was hit by Robert.

The slap was so immense she even felt like her hearing was slowly losing.

Huge beads of tears trickled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She looked very pitiful now, but nobody was going to give her an ounce of sympathy anymore.

“Give me the whip!”Robert’s face was contorted.

The maid had actually brought the rattan and was standing by, but she lacked the courage to give it to

Robert.

However, left with no choice, she could only give him the thing with shaky hands. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Robert announced, “There is no way I don’t teach you a lesson today!”

Karen gawked at her father in horror.

She knew what was coming.

She was getting whipped.

She was going to receive the most brutal punishment in the family.

Her whole body began to shiver.

She watched her father approaching her while shivering.

She couldn’t help staggering backwards.

With a loud slapping sound, the rattan was going for Karen’s body without mercy.

“Dad!” Hannah threw herself forward and positioned herself in front of Karen.

The whipping ended up connecting with Hannah’s body instead.

Robert was surprised by this sudden change of events and his hand even trembled slightly.

Oscar who was nearby clenched his fists.

‘What a reckless woman!’

“I am telling you the things about Karen not for you to punish her. I just hope that since we know what’s

inside of her, we can help her together.” Hannah said.
