Chapter 227
Does dignity matter?
Lindbergh Theodore silently walked to her side: "Are you afraid?"
His index and middle fingers touched her lips, and as he probed deeper, his fingertips brushed against her tightly closed teeth.
A day had passed since the slap incident, and as Theodore said, his brother was very good at disciplining people.
A scream snapped Jiang You back to reality, and she turned pale as she looked into the corner.
There, a woman was being held down in a chair, being restrained by two tall, burly men who were screaming and yelling at her. One of the men, dressed as a doctor in a white coat, was holding a pair of pliers with a tooth attached to them.
Lindbergh Theodore has withdrawn his hand, as he said before, he will not force anyone's ideas.
But then he changed his tone and said that hurting someone should be punished.
He said she was their property and they wouldn't hurt her.
He found a woman and said to her like a devil, "From now on, if you do something wrong, she will take the punishment for you."
"If you bite someone, then pull out all her teeth."
His calm and indifferent tone made it seem as if he were talking about something mundane like what to eat tomorrow.
Now, no matter how much she begged, the innocent woman still had two teeth pulled out.
The punishment is still ongoing.
Her tears had long since dried, her eyes were sunken, and she cried out, her mouth filled with blood, "I have a three-year-old daughter... The man I married is a bad person... I had no choice but to smuggle myself into the country with my daughter... He beat me... He sold my daughter..."
Her hoarse voice, as if sanded smooth, was reduced to a series of gasps. "...My daughter is still waiting for me to come home..." Her voice suddenly rose, "My daughter is still waiting for me! Help me, Miss Jiang, I haven't done anything..."
Jiang You knelt on the ground, his lips trembling as he embraced the woman who was kowtowing repeatedly.
She's tried everything she can think of. What should she do? Can anyone teach her?
"...Please, please..."
An innocent woman was sobbing. Jiang You's head was throbbing. He mechanically turned his head to look at the twins not far away.
Theodore leaned back in his leather armchair, his long legs casually crossed. He stared at the scene, yawning boredly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
When she turned her head and their eyes met, he chuckled and winked at her playfully.
Standing next to him was Lindbergh Theodore, his eyes devoid of any extra emotion as he looked at her.
The woman in Jiang You's arms was pulled away. Lindbergh Theodore walked over, his index finger with a bandage on it bent slightly with his middle finger together, and pressed it against her lips.
silence......
Quiet......
No one forced Jiang You to stay here. She could have easily pretended not to know and returned to her room. As Lindbergh Theodore said, he doesn't force people, but those who do wrong should be punished.
Jiang You felt nauseous and physiological tears streamed down his face.
At that moment, the gaze fell upon Theodore, who stood up from his chair behind Lindbergh Theodore and curiously peered out.
His golden eyes were fixed on her.
