âI can do it too.â
Rowenaâs face turned pale.
She pressed her lips together and said, âPlease donât take it personally, Ms. Shawâ¦â
âI admit that as an older sister. I have been neglectful. Over the past few years, Iâve been busy with treatments and constantly in the hospital. I havenât dedicated much time to taking care of her.â
âDespite seeking Dameâs help in her care, heâs consistently busy. Lula, the sister of the man who saved his life, has never faced strictness; instead, sheâs been spoiledâ¦â
Rowena avoided eye contact and spoke softly about her inability to discipline Ursula. However, she hinted. at being instrumental in saving Damienâs life and emphasized his exceptional kindness towards her and Ursula. She also mentioned the severe injuries she sustained while rescuing Damien.
Cherise had grown tired of hearing such statements.
During her years in the hospital, she had heard more than enough of these covert remarks.
She offered a faint smile, her hands tucked into her pockets, and murmured, âIndeed.â
âI trust, Rowena, that you wonât dwell on matters beyond your control in the future. Your main responsibility should be guiding your sister.â
Rowenaâs face hardened and turned pale.
She probably didnât expect Damienâs ex-wife to respond with distress or anger to her words. Instead, she was being sarcastic?
âWhat do you mean?â
Ursula lunged forward, aggressively pointing a finger at Cheriseâs face, and seethed, âWho do you think you are to pass judgment on me?â
âI know better than anyone how my sister treats me!â
âYou said itâs about my behavior, but in truth, youâre attacking my sister!â
Cherise shrugged nonchalantly, retrieved her phone, and dialed a number, âBlake, come now.â
A young man in dark blue attire descended from the railing on the second floor.
He straightened his clothes and swiftly made his way to Cherise.
Cherise looked at Ursula stoically, âMs. Mortis, has anyone ever told you that pointing your finger at someoneâs face is rude?â
Ursula was taken aback and stammered, âIâ¦â
As Cheriseâs intense gaze weighed on her, Rowena, seated in her wheelchair, promptly interjected, âMs. Aluw is inder d correctâ
âI will ensure that Lula is guided appropriately in the futureâ
âIâm truly sorry.â
âThereâs no need for apologies,â
Cherise sipped her tea and casually asked Rowena, âHow about I help you with your sister since Blake has some free time, and Iâm feeling generous today?â
With a chilling sparkle in her eyes, she commanded, âBlake, teach her a lesson!â
âYes!â
In response, the young man promptly positioned himself in front of Ursula âSmack-
Blake, a man of brute force, left a scorching mark on Ursulaâs face with a single, powerful slap.
âSister-
Ursulaâs heart-wrenching sobs filled the air, and she collapsed into Rowenaâs arms.
Cherise looked disapprovingly at Blake and said, âYou hit her too hard.â
She had initially intended for Blake to slap her a few more times as a lesson.
But now?
This brutal man inflicted the force of five slaps in just one blow.
How could he have continued to hit her?
If he had persisted, the consequences could have been severe, even lethal!
Blake muttered innocently. âYou didnât ask me to be gentle.â
Cherise was speechless.
âWhen interacting physically with a girl, it is important to be gentle and respectful. This is a basic rule of etiquette that should never be ignoredâ
