437.Chapter 437
Matthew winced as the sting of the whip on his back made him suck in a sharp breath
When it came to wielding a whip, Diana was second to none.
The whip in Diana’s hand might look plain, but it was a custom made weapon, crafted by master artisans at the Baker family’s request using special materials. It was even more brutal than the Duke’s estate’s disciplinary whip
Even though both he and Sophie had been beaten to the point of their skin splitting open, Diana was still holding back.
If she had truly unleashed her full strength, a single strike could have shattered their bones.
“Diana, can’t you calm down for a second? Matthew gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he spoke to Diana “What’s your problem with Sophie anyway? Just say it Why resort to violence? You’re both wornen. Why make things so hard for her?”
Diana asked, “Maybe you should ask your precious little sister that! What did Eliza ever do to her? Was forcing her into a nunnery not enough? She had to keep tormenting her, humiliating her, and even got you to drug her!”
At the mention of the last accusation, Matthew’s expression shifted slightly. “You know about that?”
“What do you think?” Diana tightened her grip on the whip and sneered. “Matthew you were ruthless enough to do something like that. Are you really afraid of me finding out?”
Diana tightened her grip on the whip and sneered. “Matthew Stonor you were ruthless enough to do something like that. Are you really afraid of me finding out?”
Of course, he didn’t want Diana to know.
Matthew clenched his jaw, still convinced he hadn’t done anything wrong.
He thought, ‘Sure, drugging Eliza might’ve been a bit much, but it was all to bring Eliza back! How could that be cruel or wrong?
If Diana dared to harm me, the Baker family would be dragged down with her!
Sophie clenched her teeth in fury, glaring back at Diana with all the defiance she could muster.
She wanted to appear fearless, as if she wasn’t trembling inside.
But little did she know, her pitiful attempt to feign bravery only made her look utterly ridiculous.
So ridiculous, in fact, that Diana couldn’t hold back any longer. Her eyes narrowed as she raised the whip in her hand once
more.
“Matthew, save me! Please, save me! She’s going to hit me again!” Sophie’s voice cracked as she screamed, her panic spilling over
