Revenge Forged in Prison
Chapter 131: A Little More Ruthless
Raquel was taken back to the Sherman residence, where Phillip watched as she finished slapping herself ten thousand times. Afterward, he had the drained Raquel tied up.
With fear filling her eyes, Raquel exclaimed, “Mr. Sherman, what are you planning to do?”
Phillip did not respond. Instead, he ordered someone to bring him a knife. As soon as the person arrived, he gripped the knife handle and began advancing, step by step, toward Raquel.
Raquel’s heart pounded fiercely. “I have slapped myself ten thousand times. What more does this old geezer want? Will he stop only when I’m dead?”
Phillip seized Raquel’s left hand, slicing through her skin and flesh. With a shriek, Raquel was instantly drenched in sweat.
“Mr. Sherman, how dare you treat me this way! The Levinson family won’t let you off for this!”
Phillip let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Your father gave me free rein with you, as long as your life is spared.” He sneered, “In other words, even if I were to maim you, turning you into a cripple, he wouldn’t even protest. Do you understand?”
Raquel’s face was ashen. How could this be… On the phone, Dad simply instructed me to apologize sincerely and urged me not to provoke Mr. Sherman. Even if she had suffered under Phillip, she was not to publicize it. The priority was to safeguard the Levinson family. But now, has my father sold me out after I kicked Gianna?
For a moment, Raquel felt as if the world was spinning around her, even forgetting the pain in her hand. However, a gut-wrenching pain suddenly surged through her, jolting her back to her senses. She was forced to endure the harsh reality of her situation.
“Phillip… Sherman…” Had she known it would come to this, she would have treated Gianna harsher than she did. After all, the Sherman family would never let me off the hook. I might as well have dragged Gianna down with me, neither of us coming out of this unscathed. The moment this thought surfaced, it was immediately quashed by another wave of agony. Her right hand had been slashed open, and Raquel was in such intense pain that she nearly passed out.
But now, he lay on the hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance. Even his own survival was uncertain, let alone coming to her rescue. With these thoughts in mind, her resentment grew even stronger. Caleb, Gianna, this isn’t over yet. Once the opportunity arises, the Levinson family will unleash its revenge on the two of you!
With his hands behind his back, Phillip called Norman over. “Take this woman back to the Levinson family, and while you’re at it, give her father a warning.” With a cold look in his eyes, he said, “Tell them that if they dare to oppose the Sherman family in the future, it won’t end as easily as it did today!”
Norman respectfully replied, “Yes, Mr. Sherman.” He brashly hoisted up Raquel, making his way downstairs. The housekeeper opened the car door for him, and he hastily chucked Raquel inside before driving off toward the Levinson residence.
At that moment, Ivan was filled with dread, uncertain of the fate that his family was about to face. It wasn’t until a servant came to report that Norman had brought back Raquel that Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Sherman family has let Raquel go, they probably wouldn’t hold us responsible for this matter anymore, right?
Norman walked straight into the house, carrying Raquel on his shoulder. Then, he promptly dropped her onto the floor. Faced with Ivan’s shocked gaze, he spoke in a cold voice. “Mr. Sherman would like to remind you that if the Levinson family dares to provoke the Sherman family again, it won’t end as simply as it did today!”
