"Natalya, Joe has promised to apologize, so you don't need to make a fuss."

"If you're not satisfied, I'll accompany Joe to kneel and apologize to you. Is that okay?"

She sounded aggrieved, trying to persuade me.

When she approached me, she leaned close to my ear and smirked.

"Unfortunately, you weren't there that day to see your brother begging for mercy on his knees. He was so pitiful."

I was stunned.

Knowing that she was provoking me, I couldn't help it. I grabbed her hair and pressed her to the ground, slapping her repeatedly.

No one expected that I would suddenly act. They were shocked by my crazy behavior. They hurriedly rushed over to pull me away.

They pinned me down on the ground, looking disgusted.

"Natalya, how dare you hit Scarlett! She said she would apologize. What else do you want?"

"No wonder you came from a poor family. It's one thing that you are lowly. You dared to be violent!"

"Do you know that we can make people like you disappear with just a flick of our fingers?"

"Joe, although she is your girlfriend, you have to give everyone an explanation today!"

Under the insistence of this group of spoiled people, Joe stood up and came to me.

His eyes were full of coldness, disappointment, and anger.

Before I could say anything, he kicked me hard.

My fragile body seemed to fall apart on the spot as he kicked me like this.

A burst of piercing pain came in waves. I broke out in a pang of cold sweat in an instant.

Joe looked down at me, saying indifferently.

"I did have sex with you a few times. Do you think you are Mrs. Lawrence?"

"You and your brother are just two dogs I raised at home! If I'm happy, I'll give you some food to eat. If I'm not happy, you'll end up dead. Do you understand?"

I felt like all my organs had shifted. I couldn't even say a word.

Looking at this man I've loved for over ten years, I felt like all my love had been wasted.

The first time I met Joe, I was only fourteen. I made a living with my brother by selling things.

I then accidentally bumped into Joe again while setting up the stall. Covered in mud, he was as handsome as ever.

I was stunned. Then I secretly brought him home without telling my brother.

From that moment on, I couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Then his mother found him and took me and my brother to the Lawrence family, giving us a job to make a living.
