Chapter 12 You Reap What You Sow

Soon, Janet had been brought over to Henrick forcefully.

As soon as she saw Henrick, Janet started shouting in panic, “Mr. Southall, I’m innocent! I went out only because my useless son got into trouble again! I have nothing to do with the cobra incident! Please, I’ve always been loyal to the Southalls!”

Janet’s pleas fell on deaf ears as Henrick ordered for her to be tied up.

Without any hesitation, the housekeepers did as instructed.

Still ignoring Janet’s cries, Henrick walked around the hall and found a leather belt left behind by a guest.

“Whip her!” he ordered as he handed the belt to the housekeeper.

Despite his initial hesitation, the housekeeper eventually carried out Henrick’s orders.

Snap! With just one whip, Janet’s skin instantly split open. The pain was so unbearable she started screaming and writhing on the floor.

Arielle watched silently by the side, her gaze cold and unfeeling.

It looks like the person who had snuck onto my balcony to release the snake is this old hag.

Arielle was furious and felt no pity toward Janet. It’s only fair that she pays the price for this.

After ten lashings, Janet was drenched in a cold sweat, unable to make a sound anymore.

Despite the pain she was in, she still refused to tell the truth. She’d be charged with murder if she did, and she couldn’t let that happen.

The housekeeper who had been whipping Janet couldn’t tolerate any more and spoke up. “Mr. Southall, we can’t hit her anymore. At her age, if we keep this up, she’s not going to be able to take it.”

Henrick understood the concern, and likewise, he didn’t want any mishaps before he got to the bottom of the matter.

Before he could give the order to stop hitting Janet, another housekeeper returned from his investigation.
