Chapter 733
Vivien had never had to endure such punishment.
Her knees had turned weak from the pain, and she instantly crumpled to the floor.
Her hands reflexively shot out to cushion her fall and support her weight, and by the time she realized her error, it was too late.
This new bout of pain was so terrible that she found it hard to breathe.
Finally, Amanda hurried over to help her up and check her wounds.
Lucinda then tossed a box of pain relief cream on the table.
“Remember the rules,” she said in a firm tone.
“I’ll check your recitation in seven days.
If you are not convinced, you can provoke me again.
”
Vivien cowered in Amanda’s arms, unable to do anything but cry.
Her eyes were filled with fear.
To her, Lucinda was practically the devil himself.
As for Lucinda, she was immensely satisfied with the results.
Vivien didn’t seem the least bit inclined to say another bad word against her.
Just as Lucinda had expected, corporal punishment was still the most effective tool.
Lucinda waved a servant over and ordered her to display the ferule on the dressing table in Vivien’s room.
That way, it would be the first thing Vivien saw every morning when she woke up.
Then, Lucinda turned her attention to Amanda and asked the latter to sign the property transfer agreements.
When her business was done, Lucinda strutted out in her high heels, not even sparing Vivien another glance.
Aided by the power of the ferule, Vivien spent the next seven days memorizing the entire book as told.
When it came the time to test her, though she got some parts wrong, she managed to recite the whole book.
Lucinda didn’t bother to make things difficult for her.
She simply hit Vivien’s hands ten times, in accordance to the rules, of course.
Vivien was naturally bitter and angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.
She cradled her palms and cried out, “You’re so ruthless! You just want to bully me… I hate you.

Lucinda watched her bawl her eyes out and said, “Great, you’ve made progress.
Now, you’re badmouthing me in a more dignified manner.
Though I bet you’ve been cursing me a lot in private, haven’t you?”
Vivien promptly shut her mouth and just glared at Lucinda.
Of course, she cursed at Lucinda! She cursed at the bitch as often as she could!
In fact, Vivien had made it a habit to curse at Lucinda every night before she went to sleep.
Lucinda watched the shift in Vivien’s expressions and instantly knew what the other woman was thinking.
She called for all the servants in the villa and said, “From today onward, you are all tasked to monitor Vivien.
If she utters a single foul word, report it to me, and you will get one thousand dollars.
A thousand for each report.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The servants’ eyes lit up.
