Jacob’s POVE
“Jacob didn’t flinch. He just sneered coldly
“Too late “2
With a forceful shove, he sent Sadie tumbling into the basement.
Now, Selena and her daughter were both locked up together!
Every day, at the appointed time, they would be dragged awake and forced to kneel before Jasmine’s portrait, repeatedly bowing and begging for forgiveness.
Except for brief meal breaks, they couldn’t stop. They could only kneel and continuously apologize.
Sadie only endured it for two hours before completely breaking down.”
Sobbing uncontrollably, she cried out to Selena. “Mommy, why is Daddy treating me like this? Has he completely abandoned Sadie?” Selena, eyes fixed on the electric baton about to descend behind her, quickly urged, “Sadie, bow and apologize now! Don’t stop!”
But Sadie turned a deaf ear to her words and kept crying, “Why should I apologize to Jasmine Gilmore, a fatherless bastard? Mom, what did I do wrong?“”
“I didn’t do anything! I won’t bow! And I’m not apologizing to some cursed girl like Jasmine Gilmore!“}
Selena tried to throw herself in front of her daughter to shield her, but one of the black–clad guards pinned her down firmly.
All she could do was watch helplessly as the electric baton came down on her child.
“No! Please, please don’t hurt my daughter!”
“Til do anything you want! Anything! Just don’t hurt her!”
Selena’s desperate cries echoed in the small basement, but no one answered her pleas 2
The bodyguard didn’t loosen his grip.
Sadie was just a little girl. Her body couldn’t handle the electric shocks. Within seconds, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Selena completely broke down. She only wanted to rush forward, hold Sadie and check her injuries.
But the moment she stopped her forced kowtowing, the beatings and electric shocks would rain down on her, leaving her no time to care for her daughter &
They’re mother and daughter in this little room, yet each only minds their own business.
Thankfully, Sadie regained consciousness before long. As soon as she woke up, she started crying again.!!
As expected, she was met with another round of electric shocks.
This repeated several times until Sadie finally stopped crying and even stopped thinking.
She followed her mother’s lead, kneeling before Jasmine’s photo and repeatedly bowing her head.
“Jasmine, I was wrong. I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?”
The first to collapse was Sadie.!!
She only lasted two days before her body gave out completely. She was camed out of the basement, unconscious.
Selena looked at her daughter’s pale little face, her tightly shut eyes and felt her heart shatter.
“Where are you taking her?”
“Answer me! She’s just a child! Why are you doing this to her?”
“I won’t let you separate us! Let go of me, damn it! Let me go!” “Let me go‘
She went completely mad, struggling to crawl after her daughter.
But her leg was broken by Jacob’s kick and she had never received treatment. In addition, she had been kneeling for two days. Even if she tried her best, in the eyes of the bodyguard, it was just a painless fight.
She could only watch helplessly as Sadie was taken out of the basement. At the same time, the black–clad bodyguards forced her to continue her previous actions.
Jacob sat behind the monitor, watching everything, but his gaze couldn’t help but drift to Jasmine’s photo beside him
It was one of the few photos of Jasmine he had found on his phone. He had printed it out and carried it with him!
Jasmine was the same age as Sadie, yet she would never have a future or any more chances
He gently caressed Jasmine’s image in the photo.
Jasmine, Daddy has avenged you. Did you see it?!
