Chapter 058 Betrayal of My Family After dinner, Eve led Ava to the study. Scott’s favorite style had been retained. The room was antique, with a wall of books. On the other wall, there was a calligraphy work that wrote “Keep your word and show the results.” There were paintings, antiques, jade… Eve and Ava had seen such things from their fathers’ possessions before, but they had never been allowed to touch them or taught how to appreciate them. They were both laymen.

“The family rules are made up of 100 items. You recited 70 of them, missed 30, and made mistakes with 14. According to our agreement, you will be hit 44 times.” Like an unforgiving judge, Hailey ruthlessly sentenced Eve, “Show me your hands.” Eve complied albeit reluctantly and got hit 44 times. Her white palms visibly
