CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: LET HER TASTE THE SAME LESSON

"Sabrina Hayes, what do you think you’re doing???

Florence Scott was completely unprepared for her to make a move and immediately shouted as she was dragged inside.

Sabrina Hayes threw her to the ground.

She fell hard, a wave of pain came over her, causing her to briefly lose the ability to resist.

Sabrina foresaw this and didn’t respond, directly snatching the tape from the servant’s hand, and angrily wrapping it around Florence’s mouth several times.

"Mmm... mmm..."

Florence was shocked and immediately wanted to curse, but it was too late.

Her mouth was completely sealed.

Not only that, but Sabrina then bound her limbs, almost as if tying her to death.

She wanted this old woman to also taste the pain of tape tearing at the skin!

Tessa Hughes stood coldly watching, thoroughly enjoying it.

To deal with such a villain, you should return the favor in their own way!

"Sabrina Hayes, what are you doing? Open the door now!"

Jordan Hawthorne knocked on the door and shouted from outside.

Sabrina turned a deaf ear.

After binding Florence, she grabbed her hair, her eyes blood-red, and said, "Florence Scott, when you bullied me before, I didn’t resist because I respected you as my mother-in-law, an elder, but that doesn’t mean I’m an easy target! Now, I don’t even want Jordan anymore, and if you dare touch Zara, I can make you pay!"

After saying this, she threw her to the ground.

Florence nearly twisted her features with pain.

Her chest filled with rage, she never dreamed that this bitch would dare to treat her this way!

She was Lady Hawthorne, always above everyone, revered wherever she went.

But today, in her own home, she was treated like this by her daughter-in-law!

Florence’s eyes were about to split, glaring at Sabrina, as if she wished to tear her apart.

"Still not behaving?"

Tessa continued to keep Zara’s head on her shoulder, not letting her see Sabrina’s actions.

Seeing the old woman still daring to make noise, she immediately took out her phone and pointed the camera at her.

"Tell me, if I put your vicious, hideous expression online, add some juicy details, say you abused your own granddaughter, locked her in a warehouse, and harshly treated your daughter-in-law, how will people look at you then?"

Florence’s eyes widened, her body stiffened, not daring to move, even her expression froze.

Tessa looked down at her and said, "Why aren’t you making noise anymore? Go on, I haven’t taken enough photos yet!"

Florence was so angry she almost passed out.

But she cared about her face.

Being treated like this by Sabrina today was already humiliating enough.

If it was posted online, how could she continue to live?

What face would she have to go out and meet people?

Tessa saw her quiet down instantly and sneered, "Cowardly trash, I spit on you!"

She spat disdainfully and then turned to her best friend, "Sabrina, what next? Should we leave, or...?"

Outside, Jordan continued pounding on the door.

Since Sabrina didn’t open it, he turned to instruct someone to kick it in.

Sabrina gave Florence a cold glance.

The tape was very sticky, she bound it almost to death, enough to give this old thing a hard time.

Since the purpose of the lesson was achieved, there was no need to stay longer.

"Let’s go!"

She replied and turned to carry Zara.

Before leaving, she turned back to Florence and warned, "If you dare target Zara next time, it won’t stop at just this!

Also, if you dare to pursue today’s matter, I’ll post the photos online! Let everyone see the true face of Lady Hawthorne!"

After saying this, she left with Tessa to open the door.

Outside, the entire Hawthorne Family was attracted over, after all, the commotion was too big.

This naturally included Brooke and Sonny...

The mother and son had been kneeling in the mourning hall for half a day, intending to create a scene of virtue and filial piety.

Unexpectedly, the plan was aborted because of Sabrina Hayes’s scandalous uproar in the Hawthorne home.

Brooke was so angry she almost gritted her teeth to pieces, forced to get up, cursing inwardly: Sabrina Hayes, you bitch!!!

Meanwhile, she glared viciously at the old lady’s memorial tablet: If it hadn’t been her who chose Sabrina back then, she wouldn’t have to go through all this, serves her right, she died early!

...

At this time, the entire Hawthorne Family was gathered outside the warehouse, trying to break the door open.

Unfortunately, the door was of excellent quality.

After much effort, they still couldn’t succeed.

Just as Jordan was considering calling someone to dismantle the lock, the warehouse door opened by itself.

As soon as he saw her, Jordan sternly questioned, "Sabrina Hayes, what did you do in there?"

Speaking, his gaze swept past her and looked inside the warehouse.

When he saw Florence tied up and lying on the ground in a miserable state, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted, "Sabrina Hayes, are you crazy? How dare you treat my mom like this?"

The Hawthornes were also furious.

"Sabrina Hayes, this is outrageous, how can you treat your mother-in-law like this?"

"Are you tired of living? How dare you act so violently in the Hawthorne Family?"

"Someone, call the police, whatever it takes, she needs to be taught a lesson today..."

The group was filled with righteous indignation, clamoring incessantly.

"What are you shouting about?"

Tessa was fiercer than the others, "When this old woman had the servant tie Zara with tape, why didn’t any of you come out to seek justice? Now you’re standing up to bicker!

Such a large family, yet they bully a child barely over three years old. Truly eye-opening for me.

The so-called top elite, and their behavior is this despicable!

My Sabrina merely let her taste her own medicine, and you can’t even handle it?

Fine, you want to call the police, right? Come on, I’ll call them... It would be best to notify the press to see what kind of people you really are!"

After speaking, she pulled out her phone, ready to make a call.

"Stop!"

Jordan Hawthorne immediately blocked her, his face very displeased.

He was trying hard to digest Tessa’s words while glancing at Zara.

The young child’s skin was tender and fair, with several places indeed looking rather red now.

Especially on her cheeks, it was most obvious!

Others also looked at Zara with doubt and concern.

Seeing the child’s cheeks turning red, accompanied by her grievance-filled eyes, left everyone speechless for a moment.

Sabrina couldn’t be bothered to argue any further. Holding Zara, she swept past the crowd and left.

Tessa and Flash quickly followed suit.

It was only then that Florence Scott inside the warehouse dared to make a sound.

Jonathan Hawthorne rushed in to lift his wife up, meanwhile tearing off the tape from her face.

Just as he moved, Florence Scott let out a miserable howl.

However, Jonathan didn’t comprehend, thinking she was just too angry. His hands sped up as he ripped off the tape.

The tape adhered not only to the skin but also to the hair.

The whole process left Florence Scott in excruciating pain... like a fate worse than death.

When the tape was finally completely removed, some of her hair had been pulled out, and her facial skin was not in well condition, extremely red.

Some parts even had slight peeling, causing discomfort and stinging pain.

Florence Scott was so furious she nearly went mad, "That ungrateful Sabrina Hayes actually dared to treat me like this... Jordan, you go and catch her for me this instant!"

She was determined to teach that little brat a harsh lesson!

Jordan’s face was gloomy as he said coldly, "Enough! Do you want to keep causing trouble? Why did you touch Zara out of nothing? She’s so little. Didn’t you think winding tape around her would hurt her? Do you think the scandal isn’t enough?"

Florence Scott trembled with rage.

How could it be enough?

Sabrina humiliated her like that and took pictures...

If she didn’t get caught, they might be threatened forever in the future!

Yet Jordan clearly did not intend to act.

Frustrated and irritable, he tugged at his tie, and then instructed The Hawthorne clan coldly, "The memorial ceremony is over, disperse."

Having said that, he left the old mansion behind.

When he walked out, his pace was hasty, seemingly intending to chase after Sabrina and her daughter.

However, they were nowhere to be seen at the gate?

...

Inside the old mansion, The Hawthorne clan quickly dispersed.

Finally, only Jonathan Hawthorne, along with Brooke and Sonny were left at the scene.

Brooke was helping to remove the tape from her hands and feet, while comforting, "Sabrina was really too much, how could she treat you this way? You are Zara’s grandmother, how could you genuinely harm her, yet she was so ruthless against you, wasn’t it intentional revenge?"

Florence Scott was so enraged she lost her usual elegance, filled with hostility.

"Don’t mention that bitch to me."

Brooke, obedient and gentle, said, "Alright, I won’t mention it. Auntie, don’t be angry anymore. Once the tape is completely removed, we need to apply some ointment. I’ve already had it delivered from abroad. Once it’s applied, it might not hurt as much."

Florence Scott, though still angry, felt slightly appeased because of her thoughtfulness, "You are really considerate, Brooke!"

"Grandma, have some tea, calm down, don’t get too angry, if you fall ill, Sonny will be heartbroken."

Sonny, perceptive and sensible, offered tea to her, comforting her.

Florence Scott’s heart softened. This child was truly understanding and adorable!

Unlike Sabrina’s child, who developed autism at such a young age, acting foolishly.

How did he bear any resemblance to The Hawthorne bloodline?

Sonny was the true descendant of her son!

...

After Sabrina left the old mansion, she took Zara back.

On the way, she checked the little one over again and, upon confirming there were no major issues, she applied some cooling ointment to ease the redness.

Initially, she worried Zara would be frightened and mentally affected.

However, Flash stayed close to her, and her attention was quickly diverted.

The two little ones played energetically in the backseat, seemingly not leaving any shadow.

Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this point that Tessa asked about the incident’s cause and effect today.

She hurried over with Flash after receiving the news, unaware of many details.

Sabrina concisely explained the situation.

Upon hearing that Florence Scott forced her friend to leave The Sheffield Group and demanded five billion in divorce settlement, Tessa was furious.

"Does she have any shame? It was her son who cheated, how can she be so shameless?"

Sabrina’s expression turned cold.

She definitely would not give the money!

Florence Scott’s shameless exploitation of Zara to threaten her was something she could never pretend didn’t happen!

Later on, when back home, Sabrina specially rewarded Flash with a meal.

Since it helped find Zara, it had done a great job.

After lunch, Sabrina called the detective agency to inquire about the progress of gathering evidence.
