A Ruthless Punishment Is Unforgettable
The two elders were startled and hastily shook their heads, seeking to distance themselves from those
crimes,
“No, no, no. These matters have nothing to do with me. Besides, I just learned about how vicious
Xander and Yael are today. The way Cedrick is handling this is correct. I support it!”
“Yes, I also support it. I can’t believe these two sc”mbags did so many awful things to our family.
Cedrick did the right thing!”
Since Albert and Clarence had already voiced their support, the rest of the elders followed suit.
Nico graciously checked in on everyone in the ancestral hall, proceeding only after establishing that
there were no voices of dissent there.
He glanced at Elven, who was guarding the entrance to the ancestral hall, before announcing to all the
members of the family inside, “What Mr. Cedrick is saying is that since Yael had committed so many
inhumane acts, he is to be first punished according to the family rules with twenty lashes. Then, Mr.
Clarence and Mr. Albert will remove his and his son’s names from the Jenson family registry. We
hereby
banish them.”
Two minutes later, two police officers brought Yael into the ancestral hall under Elven’s direction.
Everyone in the Jenson family was stunned when they saw Yael, having not seen him in a long time.
Even though Cedrick had someone change him into a clean suit, the weariness on his face and his
half- white hair made the middle-aged man seem like he had aged a dozen years.
Yael had been the target of bullying from his cellmates for the past few days, leaving him with bruises
all over his body that were covered by his suit.
He entered the ancestral hall escorted by the two police officers, the metal shackles on his hands and
feet rattling at every step he took.
The entire ancestral hall was silent, everyone fixing their scrutinizing gazes on him.
He was surrounded by a range of piercing looks, from anticipatory to gleeful and smug.
Uneasy from being stared at so intensely, Yael bowed his head, concealing the wrinkles at the corners
of his eyes.
Their hostile stares seemed to pierce him in a hundred different places, making him extremely
uncomfortable.
He made his way silently to the open area in the center of the ancestral hall, stopping in front of the
ancestral portraits.
Since Cedrick did not prepare a cushion for him, he could only hunch his shoulders and kneel on the
cold marble floor.
Meanwhile, Logan went to retrieve the punishment whip from an intricately-carved box.
Nico stood at one side and instructed coldly, “Yael, take off your shirt and receive twenty lashes.”
Yael was stunned as Cedrick had not mentioned receiving the family’s whipping punishment. He had
not
been subjected to this punishment for almost twenty years. Twenty lashes could seriously injure him to
the brink of death.
However, his pride over the years did not allow him to beg Cedrick for mercy. Even if he did, the latter
would not let him off, and he would merely face everyone’s ridicule.
He snorted contemptuously, directing his anger at Nico. “Do you think that you, an adopted son whom
Cedrick brought back, are worthy of standing in the ancestral hall and handing out my punishment.
condescendingly?”
Despite his temper spiking, Nico had no words of retort since Yael was right. He was only able to enter
the Jenson family because of Cedrick.
Meanwhile, Cedrick, who sat facing him directly, immediately frowned and emanated a frigid aura.
“Although Nico is an adopted son, he has shown his dedication since becoming part of the family and
has never embarrassed the family outside. So, he certainly has the right to hand out your punishment.
He is even more worthy than you to stand in the Jenson family ancestral hall,” he cut in.
Yael had nothing to say in retaliation, knowing that saying anything would be futile given the substantial
evidence pointing to his wrongdoings.
Nico, on the other hand, was content, having been defended by Cedrick in front of everyone in the
ancestral hall. The sense of dependence he had toward the latter deepened considerably as a result
Logan soon returned with the whip.
Since Yael had not removed his shirt, Nico had to get the police officers to help him.
As the suit, which acted as the last protective layer, was stripped off, the bruises Yael received from the
bullying came into view, eliciting a stream of murmurs in the ancestral hall.
However, everyone who had seen the evidence of his crimes did not pity him. They only felt that he
deserved it. After all, someone who would persecute even his own brother and nephew did not deserve
any sympathy.
Yael clenched his fists, feeling incredibly uneasy by their judgmental gazes.
The pride he had been upholding for decades was trampled by Cedrick by pushing it down onto the
ground of the ancestral hall and shattering it ruthlessly.
Despite being a middle-aged man, he still had to receive the whipping punishment in front of everyone.
He felt great humiliation, especially since his and Xander’s names would be removed from the Jenson
family registry by the elders once it was over.
To let me face such humiliation before my sentence is torture like no other. Cedrick couldn’t be more
ruthless.
Yael glared at Cedrick, who was not far in front of him, with anger and resentment, going all out as he
shouted, “What’s the use of you just disposing of me, Cedrick? David, Tania, Logan, and even Dad are
accomplices. If you’re capable, denounce your relatives and deal with them all. Otherwise, how will the
souls of your parents rest in peace?”
Cedrick’s dark eyes were cold, and his hands under the suit cuffs gripped the armrests of his chair as
he exuded a hostile aura.
Nico, with his sharp observational skills, stuck some tape on Yael’s mouth to prevent him from
continuing to make aggressive remarks.
Yael moaned a few times, his eyes filled with anger.
Logan abruptly swung the punishment whip, causing it to land heavily on Yael’s back.
The sudden intense pain made Yael grimace, unable to maintain his arrogant facade.
Thwack!
The frightened sound of the whip was right next to his ears, and each stroke set off a burst of
excruciating pain.
Yael could distinctly feel rivulets of blood running down his back.
Due to the barbs on the whips, every stroke from Logan would tear open his flesh, the pain settling
deep into his bones.
Everyone in the Jenson family watched in silence.
Some of the younger members of the family could not bear to see such a bloody scene, and their
hearts trembled. Even the experienced elders appeared grim.
Triss was so frightened that she curled into Gwendolyn’s arms. While stroking her back soothingly,
Gwendolyn reached out to cover her eyes, preventing her from seeing the horrifying scene.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was tense and terrifying, filled only with the sound of Logan
swinging the whip.
Yael went from being tough to gradually collapsing in the end. He was no longer young, and his
physical fitness had declined to the point where he could not bear the lashings.
Gwendolyn did not focus on the bloody scene at the center of the ancestral hall but looked at Cedrick,
who was seated at the main seat.
His gaze was stern and expressionless, staring ahead coldly. As the head of the family, he presided
over the punishment with the imposing posture of someone superior.
However, Gwendolyn felt sorry for him and could not help sighing.
The twenty lashes were quickly executed, but most of the Jenson family members observing the scene
were feeling very uncomfortable.
As the punishment was being carried out, many of them had paled. Even their hands were shaking and
their feet numb.
At the very beginning, Yael was still able to scream in pain, but after the twenty lashings, he could only
lic on the ground in a pitiful state, unable to get up.
Even so, Logan had already controlled his strength. The twenty lashes appeared terrifying but had only
caused external injuries. The muscles and bones on his back were not damaged at all.
Despite sweating profusely and trembling uncomfortably, Yael’s mind was conscious, and he could not
faint even if he wanted to.
The respected elders of the Jenson family fetched the family registry and announced in front of him that
his family line would be crossed out.
Yael’s entire body ached with rage. Not only did he have to endure the whipping punishment, but he
also had to witness his family line being crossed out from the genealogy of the family he had lived in all
his life. After that, he would be thrown out of the Jenson residence like an unwanted dog.
A ruthless punishment is truly unforgettable.
