Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Not Calling Your Brother Anymore?

Eileen knelt on the ice cold Blake marble tiles in the study. She could see the reflection of the scar on her face on the floor. She touched it gently with her fingers, and felt pulses of sharp stings.

The study smelled of sandalwood, and it made her nose feel uncomfortable.

At that moment, she could hear footsteps outside the door and immediately straightened her kneeling position, and tightened the grip on her clothes. She knew what was going to happen.

next.

Soon, the door flung open, and in came her father, followed by Eric and Vera.

“Do you know what you did wrong today?” He walked past Eileen, held up three joss sticks and lit them

up with a red candle. He held them up to his forehead and bowed three times.

Eileen’s head was hung low, with Eric’s shadow covering her within her eyesight. The study had a depressing atmosphere which made her feel suffocated.

“I shouldn’t have argued with my classmates,” She said quaintly.

Will took down the bamboo stick that was hanging on the wall, and stood in front of her.

She trembled with fear as she heard her father’s voice from the top of her head. “Three contracts cost more than nine million dollars. And if you include the money I contributed as well, it adds up to more than thirteen million dollars. Don’t you think I should punish for that today, Eileen? Yes or no?”

Vera, who was standing behind Eric, was so scared to look directly at them she backed up a few steps.

“Yes. It’s all my fault. I didn’t control my emotions well enough, and I shouldn’t have started a fight with them. You have every right to punish me!”

“Turn around.”

Eileen moved her knees and turned around. No one could save her now, could Eric?

But Eileen had never ever expected him to.

Will cased the bamboo stick in his hands, and swung vigorously. The first hit and her enture tark werd numb She couldn’t feel any pain until the second hit felt like a tear across her skin then the third hat the fourth

She had already shed all those worthless tears earlier.

Up until the twenty-third hit, she could not feel the whipping pain anymore.

13 million dollars….

This amount of money was even more important than Eileen’s life to Will. She had seen the will that Will left after he died. All of his assets went to Eric.

On the forty-second hit, her back had a few visible, deep strokes of blood and scars. Her whole torso was on the ground because the pain had caused her to faint, but also to wake up again.

Vera held on to Eric’s arm tightly, she did not dare to look.

Then suddenly, Will’s phone on the table started to ring. He lowered his hand and took his phone after Eric had handed it over to him. Before he picked it up, he looked at the caller ID as per his usual habit.

It was an unknown caller. “Hello, who is it?”

“Smith Corporation…”

“Yes, I will be there on time tomorrow.”

Will looked perplexingly at his daughter who was on the floor. “That’s enough. Go back to your room!” Next time, you better watch your mouth, what to say and what not to say… If I find out that you are spewing nonsense outside, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life.”

Eileen held herself up from the floor with her palms with much difficulty, and turned around to face her father. “Yes, I know.”

The things that she should not say are the ones that people would hold against her.

Because these things that she said were in the heat of the moment. She could not take it

anymore.

Eileen walked out the door, and Sharon was just outside waiting for her. She walked up immediately to Eileen. “Eileen are you okay?”

Eileen’s face was pale. “I’m… I’m fine, don’t you worry. Do you still have any painkillers? Her voice grew weaker and weaker with every word, and she eventually fainted by the end of the

She saw the scars on Eileen’s back. Isn’t she Will’s daughter? Why would he hit her so harshly

like that?

The next day, when Eileen woke up, it was already noon.

She was lying face down on her bed, and she could sense a cooling feeling on her back. She saw that her naked back was exposed in the corner of her eye, and scrambled to cover it with her blanket. But she was stopped by someone, and he drew the blanket away. “Stop moving, I’m trying to put some ointment here.”

Eileen freaked out and saw her exposed chest. She didn’t hear what he said and curled into at ball out of fear with the blanket covering her entire body. She sat up quickly and said: “This is my room! Who let you in here?”

It was the first time in her life that she used such an angry tone to talk to him.

Eric was holding a tube of pain relief cream, there were still some on his fingers. “Why, you’re not even going to say hi to your brother anymore?”

“Eric! I am your sister! And I’m naked! How could you!”

He has seen it! He must have!

There was a clock on the wall, and it showed twelve o’clock. At this time, Sharon would be at the market getting groceries, and Will would be at work or doing business-related matters. It was not a weekend, so there weren’t many people at home. So is this why he can act whatever way he wants?

“Is this how you talk to me, Eileen?”

Eileen retorted almost subconsciously: “And what about it? I’m not a little girl anymore, mind you, can you not simply enter my room without my permission?”

Eric frowned with dissatisfaction and his gaze grew cold. He looked at Eileen, turned around and left her room.

He shut the door behind him as he left.

Eileen grabbed the pajamas beside her and put them on.

How dare he act so unscrupulously? He’s not usually this affectionate. Doesn’t he have feelings for Vera? Why did he bother coming into her room and taking off her clothes under the pretense of helping her with putting ointment?

Who knows what kinds of strange things he dihen she was sleeping?

Once Ene got to the bottom of the staircase, he bumped into Sharon who just came home.

“Mr. Eric? Did you just come out of Eileen’s room?”

Eric had a bitter coldness to him, and his facial expression was even worse than emotionless. He continued on downstairs without answering her, so she felt something was going on and rushed to Eileen’s room.

Eileen freaked out once more as Sharon opened the door, thinking that Eric came back.

But once she realized that it was just Sharon, her anxiousness quickly calmed down.

“Eileen, did Mr. Eric come by just now? Did he see anything”

“What do you mean, Sharon?” She was confused.

“Before I went out to get groceries, I took off your clothes and put the ointment on your back. I didn’t think that there would be anyone that would come up to your room, so I didn’t think of putting them back on. Mr. Eric didn’t see anything, did he?” Sharon explained.

“Because when he was going downstairs, he didn’t look too great. Did you say something to him?”

Eileen was perplexed. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It seemed that she had misunderstood badly!
