Facing the complicated gazes of the crowd, Eliza calmly raised her eyelids. “Why are you looking at me? Didn’t Dylan say so? She won’t die, so hurry up and hit her.”
Her indifferent tone almost made Sophie vomit blood.
She thought. How dare she urge them?
If it weren’t for so many people present. Sophie would have rushed up to tear Eliza’s mouth apart.
In the end, the arduous task of carrying out the punishment fell on Benedict’s shoulders.
Gabriel gave the order, and Benedict carried it out. It was exactly the same as two months ago.
Only this time, the one being beaten was Sophie, not Eliza.
Holding the cold, gleaming whip, Benedict found himself at a loss for the first time.
He couldn’t help but look back at Eliza, seeming to want to plead for Sophie, thinking that if Eliza forgave her, maybe Sophie wouldn’t have to be beaten.
He said. “Eliza, no matter what, Sophie is still your sister, why don‘
Benedict subconsciously spoke as he always had, but this time he didn’t finish his sentence.
Looking at the indifference on Eliza’s face and the frost in her eyes, Benedict trailed off, unable to continue.
Finally, he fell silent.
Eliza only asked softly, “I was your sister too, so why didn’t you hesitate for a moment when you beat me in the cemetery?”
They were both his sisters, both subject to the family’s discipline.
However, Benedict was biased toward Sophie.
Benedict seemed to hear Eliza ask him that question. But Eliza didn’t say another word after that.
What he thought he heard was just the grievance that belonged to Eliza, which they had ignored for so long.
They had always seen it, but at that time, their hearts ached for someone else.
After a long silence, Benedict finally raised his whip and said slowly, “Sophie….Bear with it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whip landed on Sophie.
The burning pain instantly brought tears to Sophie’s eyes again. “It hurts, Benedict. I am in so much pain!”
In the past, upon hearing Sophie’s words, Benedict would have immediately put down the whip in his hand and checked on
her.
But now, as if he were deaf and blind, Benedict ignored Sophie’s cries and continued to whip her.
Eliza watched the scene before her with pleasure.
She had been waiting for this day for too long.
Although this one incident was not enough to get rid of Sophie, it was enough to make her taste the pain she had suffered,

and that alone gave her great pleasure.
Soon Sophie’s back was red and bloody, and the goose–yellow clothes were stained with blood.
She pleaded, “Stop it!
“Father! Benedict! Please…
“It hurts so much! Dylan, help me, please!”
After only a few lashes, Sophie was in agony.

Anthony, lying to one side, desperately tried to open his eyes wide, wanting to speak up for Sophie or curse Eliza and Nolan, the most unwelcome people in the courtyard.
He thought, ‘It is all Eliza’s fault. If she hadn’t kept dwelling on such a trivial matter, how could Sophie have been beaten?
And Nolan, he is not even from the Duke’s estate. Why did he help Eliza?
‘Sophie is also a member of the Stonor family, so what is the point of helping Eliza?
Anthony, who was unable to speak at the moment, glared daggers at everyone present, but no one paid him
Sophie felt like she was about to pass out before even half of the fifty lashes had landed.
Seizing the opportunity, she rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground, feigning unconsciousness.
