Chapter 229 

“Come and stand right here,” Evan shouted at Cynthia, 

Cynthia trembled and hurriedly left Liam’s arms to stand beside Hallet with her head drooped. 

Haller stealthily pinched her arm and whispered. This is all your fault.” 

“We wouldn’t have been busted if you were smarter, Cynthia retorted. 

“How could you blame me, you ingrate,” Hallet argued. 

The two of them went back and forth. Others could only hear their voice vaguely but could not make out what they were saying. 

“What are you two whispering about? Do you think I won’t punish you?” Evan scolded angrily, holding a ferule in his hand. “Extend your hand.” 

Cynthia and Hallet exchanged looks of surprise with each other, wondering if Evan was going to punish them like he did when they were kids. 

Just as they had guessed. Exan raised the ferule high up 

in the air. 

Cynthia glanced at the onlookers, which included Hunk, Isabella, and Queena. They were watching them with widened eyes 

was embarrassing to have them watch her get punished by Evan 

Casting Evan ap 

please?” 

pitiful look, Cynthia pleaded, “Master Buckley, can you let this slide? So many people are watching us. Don’t make me look bad, 

“Dignity is nothing in the face of rules. If you care about your dignity, you should ve followed the rules. Despite that, Evan still ordered the people around them to turn around. 

Since he was older than everyone else, they all turned around cooperatively. 

At that sight, Cynthia knew that the punishment was inevitable, so she stretched out her hand slowly and said softly. Please be gentle, Master Buckley.” 

Evan was all talk every time he punished Cynthia, so she never suffered any pain. 

Just as Evan’s ferule was about to land on Cyntha’s palm, Lam hopped over and stood in front of her. 

Evan’s ferule almost hat Liam in the face. He withdrew his hand and asked angrily, “What are you doing 

Liam shielded Cynthia, straightened his back, and said. “Master Buckley, Cynthia is an aduk. I’m afraid such punishment is not appropriate” 

“There’s nothing inappropriate with the way I punish my protege. Get out of my way.” Evan rolled up his sleeves as if he would not stop until he punished Cynthia and Hallet 

Liam stood still with a firm expression on his face. 

“Master Buckley, Cynthia is my wife now. Punish me if you must,” he said. 

Evan looked up at the tiller young man and narrowed his eyes slightly. “You deserve to be punished since you’ve not been a dutiful husband.” Then, he raised the ferule and hit Liam’s bottom with it 

Stunned, Liam blinked blankly twice and slowly reached out to cover his bottom 

He had never expected Evan to hit his bottom. Besides, the latter did not hold back, so it hurt a lot. 

Cynthia was also stunned for a moment. Being protective of Liam, she grumbled at Evan the next moment. “Why did you hit him, Master Buckley! 

Halles, who had been hiding behind Cynthia, almost burst into laughter. 

Liam’s expression when he got spanked just now was hilarious. Now I’m not the only one who got spanked he thought. 

Every time the two of them made a mistake, Evan would only hit Cynthia’s palm twice, but Hallet would get a solid spanking instead, and in the next two days, it would hurt whenever he walked. 

In the past, Hallet had asked Evan why he was the only one who got spanked. 

Evan answered that Hallet deserved it for being a bad influence on Cynthia and that he could not spank her because she was a girl.

It was clear who was Evan’s favorite. 

Cynthia had been a worse troublemaker than Hallet since they were kids. Every time she caused trouble, she would get him involved with all sorts of excuses so that he would be punished along with her. 

The sight Liam of being punished Elled him with delight. 

However, before Haller could revel in the joy further, Evan directed his anger at him. 

“Haller, it’s your turn now,” Evan declared 

Hallet’s eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, Mauer Buckley, is that all they get?” 

“Obviously. It’s your turn now.” Evan looked at him coldly. 

Hallet knew he could not get away from the beating today, so he thought, I swear I’ll make Cynthia pay for this in the future. I’m only getting punished because of her 

Having accepted his face, he tilted his body sideways skillfully. 

Evan’s movement was swift. Hallet jerked and almost jumped while covering his bottom. 

“Ouch, ouch!” he gasped. 

Queena had her head turned away at first, but Hallet’s voice made her curious, so she turned around and peeked at him. 

That wa 

was when she saw Hallet grimacing. 

The second their eyes met, the expression on Hallet’s face frore, 

It’s over. My perfect image is gone. Liam didn’t even make a sound just now, so I cant lose to him he thought. 

With that, Hallet quickly forced a smile, but it looked ugly. 

When Evan saw that tallet’s reaction was different from usual, he thought it was because he did not hit him hard enough, so he spanked Hallet again with a greater force 

Hallet’s eyes widened immediately, and his mouth went agape. Yet, he managed to stay quiet. 

These two strikes made Hallet sweat, and he prayed in his heart, Master Buckley, be gentler, please” 

Seeing the state Hallet was in, Queena trembled and withdrew her gaze. 

Only then did Halles grimace and hold Evan’s hand to beg for mercy. “Master Buckley, that’s enough. I won’t be able to walk if you continue to hit 

Inc. 

Evan felt that it was enough, so he retracted the ferile, “Kneel for one night, both of you.” 

With that, he returned to his bedroom, holding the ferule 

Hallet covered his bottom and grumbled. “Sooner or later I will break the ferule into half. Humph!” 

When Queens saw that Evan had gone back to his bedroom, she hurned over and asked with concern, “Cynthia, are you okay?” 

“She didn’t get hit by the ferule. What won’t she be okay? You should be concerned about me instead. I helped an ingrate, yet I was still punished.” Hallet replied. 

“Helped what!” Liam had a keen mind, so he quickly sensed that something was amiss. 

Shocked, Cynthia quickly changed the topic. “Nothing. I may not be able to go back to our bedroom tonight, so I’ll send you to bed first” 

She then forcefully led Liam upstairs. That was no way she would let Hallet talk again. 

With Lian’s shrewdness, he would learn the truth if Hallet said a few more sentences. 

Liam knew Cynthia was hiding something from him, but since she would not tell him, he stopped asking about it. 

Downstairs, Queen helped Hallet to the room where he and Cynthia were punished to kneel. 

As she watched Haller’s exaggerated gain, she could not help but ask, “Does it really hurt so much?”
