It was out of Thomas and Yannie's expectation to see Denise admitting her mistake and apologizing so easily, so much so that they were stunned.
After a while, Thomas furrowed his brow and looked at Denise, who was kneeling on the ground coldly.
"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to fool us to forgive you?" said Thomas.
Denise pursed her lips and looked at him. "Why? Did I surprise you by admitting my mistake so suddenly?"
She was willing to admit her defeat. Whatever consequences she was going to face was solely her choice. There was nothing for her to regret nor refuse to admit. She knew she would face Thomas' punishment sooner or later, and she would rather face it head-on.
"Yes, I'm surprised." Thomas squinted. He bent over to look at Denise's pretty face. "To be honest, I've been thinking about how to punish you to vent out my anger. Killing you isn't necessary. I want to let you experience the torture and pain I suffered…"
He smiled coldly. "I don't mean to make it difficult for you. If you go to the slum outside of the city tonight and have sex with ten men, I'll let go of everything you did to me. How about that?"
The room turned quiet immediately after what Thomas said. Denise raised her head and looked at Thomas with disbelief. She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but nothing came out.
Before Denise came to meet Thomas, she had thought of various punishments and tortures she would receive from Thomas. She even prepared herself to lose an arm and be a handicapped person for the rest of her life. She nearly killed Yannie and Riley a few times too, after all.
However…
She never thought Thomas would suggest such a punishment. This punishment was so much more unbearable and cruel than killing her!
"Mr. Howard, that's too absurd!" Sean furrowed his brow while walking over.
