Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2052

Callum was truly afraid.

He did not want to face another blow, but he also did not want to admit he was wrong.

Even though hitting people was clearly wrong, he felt he was justified.

Those twin boys deserved it!

Tears streamed down his face as Callum asked between sobs, "Adora used to hit people too, but why didn't you and Uncle Eli punish her like this?"

Nathaniel patiently explained, "When Adora was young, she did get into fights, but she never hurt anyone badly enough to be hospitalized. Callum, I've seen the footage. You were the one who started it."

As Callum sat there, he began to realize that perhaps he was in the wrong.

Nathaniel needed to make sure Callum understood the seriousness of his actions. Otherwise, the consequences in the future could be far worse, and Callum might be punished by law, not him.

"Get up. I'm running out of patience," Nathaniel said firmly.

Feeling some relief as the pain in his palm eased, Callum reluctantly stood and shakily raised his hands.

The cold air brushed against him as the paddle came down sharply on his small palms.

Callum wailed in pain, his face turning pale.

Once again, he curled up on the floor and clutched his hands to his chest, crying even harder.

Hugh had been eavesdropping outside the altar room, and he was also shocked by the harsh sounds.

He hurried to call Mildred for help.

Inside, Nathaniel's hand trembled as he gripped the paddle.

He hid his shaking hands behind his back and maintained a stern expression, glaring at Callum.

Callum's eyes were red and swollen, and he was too afraid to look at Nathaniel.

His father's demeanor scared him deeply.

Nathaniel deliberately ignored him, not looking his way.

He swung the paddle through the air, creating a series of sharp whooshing sounds that made Callum shiver with fear.

Nathaniel threatened, "Do you know what it's like to be hit with a paddle soaked in water until it breaks? I've experienced it many times, each time painfully unforgettable. It's something you'll never want to repeat. Do you want to find out?"

Callum wiped his tears, his eyes red and his lips trembling, but he said nothing.

Nathaniel added sternly, "Still stubborn? Fine."

He raised his hand once.

Callum was so afraid that he could not bring himself to look.

"Stop!"

Before the paddle could come down, a voice called out from outside the altar room, interrupting the scene.
