They knew fully well the mistreatment that Lucinda had suffered in the hands of Amanda and Vivien. Many of them had witnessed Amanda giving cruel treatments to Lucinda, and even those who hadn’t, heard of Amanda’s ways of bullying her.
Moreover, Vivien maltreated Lucinda so much as well.
To them, it was only fair that Vivien should pay for the sins of her mother.
And so, they watched in silence as the bodyguards returned with five buckets of water. There were fishes in the pool so the water had small fishes and water weeds.
Vivien’s eyes widened in terror. Tears filled her eyes as she pleaded for mercy, no longer the haughty and domineering woman she was.
“Pour these buckets of water on her.”
The cold command left the mother and daughter feeling utterly helpless.
Splash!
The bucket of cold water was poured on Vivien’s head, drenching her to the bone.
Vivien looked pale as she trembled with cold. Water weeds and tiny fishes clung to her face, making her look ridiculous and humiliated.
As she looked up, she saw her mother weeping uncontrollably, but she was too powerless to do anything. She also caught sight of Lucinda smirking at her with disdain, reveling in her misery.
Even the servants, whom she had always belittled and mistreated, were gawking at her with delight.

Vivien’s pride and self-esteem were shattered, leaving her feeling completely mortified and humbled.
She then broke down in tears.
The moment the bodyguard was about to drench her with another bucket of water, she passed out.
Lucinda saw that she had really passed out and ordered her bodyguards to release both Vivien and Amanda.
Once Amanda broke free, she rushed to her daughter’s side, too worried to even hurl insults at Lucinda.
“That’s just a small taste of what’s to come if you try anything like that again,” Lucinda warned.
With her frustration spent, she called off her bodyguards so she could head back home.
But as she turned around, she found herself staring into a pair of intense eyes.
Nathaniel stood still, his lips tightly pursed and his face dark as he glared at her without blinking.
Lucinda could tell by Nathaniel’s expression that he had figured out who was behind everything, too.
Did he come here to settle things or to put blames on her?
Nathaniel didn’t say a word. He just gazed at her.
