Serena repeatedly tapped the sole of her shoe against Isabella's cheek, each mocking strike a profound humiliation.
She didn’t dare move a muscle.
“Whether you stay or go is up to me.” Serena nonchalantly lifted her foot. “If you don't start acting like an obedient pet, you and Agnes will be sent packing from the Lancaster family.”
As if tossing out the trash, Serena grabbed Isabella and threw her out of the room.
The door slammed shut with a sharp crack.
Isabella stood in the hallway, trembling with rage. Her face burned with a stinging pain, and the humiliation was overwhelming.
Furious, she could only bite her lip, swallowing the anger that churned in her stomach.
She didn't dare make a scene, so she scurried back to her room in a disheveled state.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Looking in the mirror, she saw her swollen face, messy hair, and red-rimmed eyes—a picture of utter misery.
She let out a shriek of rage, grabbing whatever she could and smashing it wildly on the floor.
Objects crashed to the ground with a harsh, clattering sound.
She screamed, venting all her frustration.
How could this be happening?
How dare that damn country girl treat her this way!
Her own parents had never let her suffer such humiliation. How dare that hick do this to her!
Just then, a knock sounded at her door.
Isabella’s crying and screaming stopped instantly, her heart skipping a beat.
Her eyes shot to the closed door.
Could it be… Mother?
