Nathan raised his head and looked at her with his slightly red eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.
“I’m not the head of the Payne Group in front of you. If I make you angry, you can beat me.”
It seemed that he was much better at acting than he had been last night, Lucinda sneered with a hint of irritation.
“Then I’ll grant your wish!” Lucinda declared.
She raised the whip and gave a fierce look.
For a moment, she felt a strong urge to thrash him so badly that he would be unable to stand up and plead for mercy.
But when she whipped him, she instinctively held back her strength.
With just enough force, she swung two whips in a row at his left arm.
“Feeling any pain?” she asked, her eyes cold and distant.
Nathan frowned, struggling to suppress the trembling of his arm.

The bright red blood on his white shirt was a stark contrast.
Realizing something was amiss, she lowered her head to inspect the whip in her hand.
The material was extremely rough, and there were numerous thorns. No wonder he was bleeding. At this moment, the thorns were stained with his blood.
Her heart ached at the sight.
But her anger quickly overwhelmed her moment of compassion, nearly blinding her reasoning.
He was willing to put in a lot of effort just to gain her sympathy!
With the handle of the whip, she lifted his chin and sneered.
“Trying to trick me again? You’re quite the actor. Do you enjoy fooling me?”
Even more aggrieved, Nathan stated, “I did mot deceive you intentionally. It was my mistake to lie and make you sad. I will accept the consequences, but once you have finished with your anger, may I have a chance to explain myself?”
Lucinda’s eyes narrowed, and she spoke in a cruel tone.
