Luna widened her eyes in shock at this sight.
She quickly put on her coat and slippers, then scurried downstairs.
When she stormed into the yard, Hunter’s whip was still cracking against Malcolm’s skin.
Malcolm gripped the edge of the table tightly and spat in a low, hoarse voice, "Even if you beat me to death...I won't marry Luna, her heart doesn't belong to me, so I refuse to let her suffer...
"I don't need her to sacrifice her happiness to pay me back for saving her. I insist on canceling the engagement. I don't want to marry her!"
Granny Quinn grew even more enraged when she heard this. She glared at Malcolm and snapped," Hunter! Whip him harder, as hard as you can!
"The Quinn family doesn't need a good-for-nothing like you! I thought he'd be the pride of our family, but a s soon as I demanded him to marry Luna, he tried to escape, then got into an accident and was rendered crippled!
"Now that he's crippled, the only useful thing he can d o for our family is marry Luna, but he refuses to do this! Even before his accident, he had always been rebellious, but he’s gotten worse now that he's crippled!
"There's no use in letting him live anymore, so beat him to death!"
Hunter could not help cackling when he heard this." All right, Granny. Let me show you what I can do!"
Smack! The whip landed on Malcolm's face.
When Luna finally rushed over, the whip had already split Malcolm's skin apart, spraying blood everywhere.
A few droplets of blood landed on Luna's face. She bit down on her lip and shielded Malcolm's body with her own. "Stop! Stop beating him!"
