After Rebirth: The Alpha Ex-Husband Is Addicted to Me

Chapter 111: Punished by Kneeling

The application process will take some time.Lucy Eaton suddenly felt that the procedures in the Presidential Mansion were incredibly complex and incomparably slow in progress.

But luckily, it wouldn’t be too long before she could leave the Presidential Mansion.

She moved into the staff dormitory and the quality of food dropped several levels.

Every day, she had to work cleaning up with others and was often called over to massage Emma Bennett’s temples.

This busy life kept her body from recovering at all.

However, since she really did not want to stay in the Presidential Mansion any longer, she had to get out as soon as possible.

Even though she was in the Presidential Mansion and Jackson Baker often came by, she had no hope of seeing him. The Presidential Mansion was so big, and now in the capacity of a servant, where would she have the chance to meet the Prime Minister?

Not sharing a room with Emma Bennett anymore, she even killed the thought of stealthily using a cellphone.

From chatting with other servants, she learned that none of them were allowed to carry cellphones in the Presidential Mansion.

Only the guards had cellphones, but ninety percent of the time they were only used to communicate within the mansion, as the signal didn’t reach outside.

With such strictness, it was outrageous.

Now all her hopes rested with Emma Bennett.

She hoped he would release her from the Presidential Mansion soon.

So she tried hard to please him in every action.

She didn’t even bring up the matter of leaving anymore.

She devoted herself to the work, massaged his temples tirelessly, and even told funny jokes to make him happy.

Because her efforts appeared so natural, Emma Bennett even thought she was working so hard because she wanted to stay.

After all, in his eyes, salaries in the Presidential Mansion were much higher than those outside.

This thought completely diverged from Lucy Eaton’s intentions.

After staying for another week, she barely could endure.

At dusk, she quietly caught hold of Nick to ask, "When is my application for identity coming through?"t.

However, the whole story was reversed under his telling.

"Your Highness, just now my girlfriend Catherine got into a fight with Lucy."

"What happened?"

"Lucy insisted that I help expedite her identity process. I told her there are procedures for that, but she wouldn’t listen and kept pestering me. Catherine saw this and got jealous, so she said a few words to her. Unexpectedly, Lucy started it by hitting Catherine, and the two fought. In a fit of anger, I couldn’t hold back and kicked Lucy. I ask Your Highness to punish me as well—I regret it, I shouldn’t have hit a woman."

"Bring Lucy here."

"Yes, sir."

Lucy Eaton soon arrived.

"I’ve heard from Nick about the matter between you and his girlfriend Catherine. You hit her first, which was wrong. Nick kicking you was also wrong. I won’t discuss the rights and wrongs much further; make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again."

"I hit his girlfriend first?" Lucy Eaton’s lips curled into a sneer, "Your Highness, I was stopping Nick to ask when my identity application would be processed. It was his girlfriend who first charged at me and slapped me. As someone severely restricted in freedom, how could I have the guts to retaliate first? Nick is your subordinate, so you read his words as truth. Your Highness wasn’t present and might struggle to determine who is lying. But I declare here that if I said a single false word, may I die a miserable death. Nick, can you boldly make this declaration before Your Highness?"

Nick braced himself to say, "Why wouldn’t I dare? If I said something false, may I die a miserable death."

Emma Bennett’s face turned cold, "Silence, both of you. Go to the yard and kneel; neither of you is allowed to get up until morning."

Thus, Lucy Eaton and Nick were both punished to kneel.

Her body was already weak, and she had to work every day. How could she last through the night?

Sometime past two in the morning, she collapsed and fainted directly.

That faint lasted long, and she developed a high fever.

Her injuries became infected, and the doctor reapplied medication and bandaged her up.

The situation was not good.
