Chapter 450
“Sir, Mr. Peter’s bodyguards tried to sneak Mr. Stanley out of the mansion, but I stopped him,” Lionel
reported.
“Good.”
Stanley was saved by his bodyguards a few hours after the incident. Besides, he was a grown adult, and the minor injuries posed no serious threat.
Elliot had known all along that he was faking his condition and asked, “Uncle Peter, how do you suggest we punish him?”
Peter softened his tone. “Stanley was just being foolish. Luckily, Elliot, you’re fine too. Let’s give him a minor punishment as a warning. I’ll take him back and give him a good beating. How about that?”
“Dad!” Stanley protested.
Why should he be punished? It was just a stroke of bad luck.
He only wished the bullet had hit Elliot in the head or his heart!
Sheena had heard about the Jenkins family’s traditional and strict disciplinary practices. Nonetheless, she was there to witness the drama unfold.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot did not accept Peter’s suggestion, and his face was dark and icy, clearly dissatisfied.
Lionel spoke on his behalf, “Mr. Peter, isn’t that a bit too lenient? If it weren’t for Mr. Jenkins’ luck, the position of the family head might have changed hands. Mr. Jenkins suggests ten lashes.”
“Ten lashes?” Stanley seethed with hatred, arguing, “Elliot is still alive and well, yet you’re trying to exact such a heavy punishment on me. Isn’t that too much!”
Elliot casually added, “You should be grateful I’m alive. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just ten lashes. Say another word, and I’ll add five more.”
Grant, the one responsible for administering the punishment, had helped Santiago back to his room and had just returned. Hence, Stanley could not escape.
According to Jenkins family traditions, the person receiving the lashes had to remove their upper clothing.
Sheena was still sitting on Elliot’s lap. He patted her waist lightly and directed his gaze toward Lionel.
“Take Sheena out first. I’ll join you shortly.”
“Yes, Mr. Jenkins,” Lionel acknowledged.
Sheena protested, “I’m not leaving. Is he going to undress to be whipped? His physique surely isn’t as good as yours, and I don’t care to watch, but I want to see how miserable he’ll be!”
Apart from this, Lionel had informed her that Elliot had taken twenty lashes for her from the Jenkins

family six months ago, and she was eager to witness the severity of this family punishment.

Elliot remained silent. Sheena held onto his arm, pouting and cooing, “Eli, you’re the best person in the world! Please believe me!”
Unable to resist her soft voice, Elliot finally gave in.
Stanley was forced to kneel in the middle of the hall, exposing his lean back. Even before the punishment began, he was already trembling, seemingly deeply afraid of the impending lashes.
Peter could not bear to watch his son being whipped, but Grant’s presence indicated Santiago’s approval. Thus, he could only sit on the side, helpless, and watch the events unfold.
Grant took out the disciplinary whip from a sandalwood box.
“Mr. Stanley, I’m just doing my job.”
With that statement, the sharp sound of the whip slicing through the air echoed.
Stanley’s back was torn, and because of his slender frame, each lash felt like it struck bone.
The scene was horrifying, with blood gushing out.
Initially, Stanley tried to endure the lashes, but by the fifth one, the pain becunbearable. He howled, squirming in agony, losing all dignity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe excruciating pain on his back overwhelmed him.
Elliot remained expressionless, his gaze cold and merciless. He had someone restrain Stanley’s
shoulders.
By the eighth lash, Stanley fainted from the pain.
Elliot ordered cold water to be poured on him to awaken him, and Grant ruthlessly delivered the last two lashes. Stanley’s face turned deathly pale, and he passed out completely. Peter instructed his
bodyguards to carry him away.
Although only ten lashes had been administered, Stanley’s back was now a mosaic of small diamond- shaped pieces, the skin torn and flesh exposed, a sight too gruesto behold.
Sheena watched quietly, appearing calm on the surface, but inside, she was experiencing a storm of
emotions.
This firsthand experience made her realize the terrifying nature of the Jenkins family’s disciplinary
measures.
What left her breathless was the fact that after receiving just ten lashes, Stanley was rendered half- dead. She could not help but think about Elliot, who had endured twice as many lashes for her in the past. Even after the punishment, he still stubbornly returned to Ocean Avenue with her.
How much pain must he have suffered back then?
