My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 975: Who Are You

Her face was pale and full of worries, she looked so dainty. She pleaded, “Stanford, Helena was just impulsive, she was not intentional, she is kind by nature. I beg you, for the sake of siblinghood, please let her go.”

Her gentle and soft voice coupled with crying, made people could not help but feel sympathetic to her.

She was crying and reaching out to grab Stanford’s hand like she wanted to be comforted.

But the moment she approached, Stanford’s expression turned cold immediately.

He stepped away from her and glared at her with coldness in his eyes.

“Who are you?” He questioned.

Braylee frozen suddenly, she is so shocked.

She forgot to cry, she was looking at Stanford dumbfounded, stuttering, “Stanford, don’t, don’t you remember me?”

Stanford remained expressionless, he impatiently questioned again, “Who are you?”

From the looks of it, clearly, he didn't even remember her at all.

Braylee’s face paled like she have seen a ghost, without any trace of color.

She has been living in Stanford’s house for months, making so much appearance, letting everyone think she was going to be the future Mrs. Fraser.

However, Stanford himself could not even remember her.

Or to be more precise, in the months of her presents, Stanford didn't even see her, let alone remember her.

Everyone was looking at Braylee with different expressions, they couldn't help but feel sympathetic to her.

There was also a dawning realization.

They all thought Braylee was getting along well with Stanford, and she could be the young master’s wife, but as it turns out, Stanford didn't even know her.

This is so sad.

Braylee is so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, but she didn't dare to move under Stanford’s razor-sharp gaze.

Her heart was full of sadness, and bit her tongue,

“I am Braylee, Helena’s cousin.”

“You are not one of Fraser then, why are you here?”

Stanford’s expression was cold, he raised his hand and ordered, "Take her away."

That impatient gesture of disgust pierced Braylee’s heart like a knife.

Her heart was broken into pieces, her face burning hot, she was extremely embarrassed.

Without waiting for the bodyguard to drag her away, she ran away crying with her hands covering her face.

Stanford didn't even spare her one more look, his icy gaze returned to Helena.

He was emanating coldness.

This was how Helena beat Phoebe, just thinking about how Phoebe was beaten, Stanford wanted to cut Helena into pieces.

But, he wanted Helena to live to suffer.

He needed Helena to feel what Phoebe is feeling right now, and doubled the amount.

They didn't know how much time has passed, Helena couldn't even scream now after being beaten for so long, she’s lying unconscious like a dead dog, the bodyguard stopped.

Juliette rushed over and kneel beside Helena, but she didn't dare to touch her.

She choked and shouted, "Helena, Helena, are you still alive? Answer your mom, Helena."

Helena’s eyes were closed, she didn't respond at all.

And she didn't know if she’s alive or dead.

Juliette didn't dare to feel her pulse, she was afraid that she won’t feel anything, she would rather hold onto one last bit of hope.

Her eyes were red, she turned around and asked, “Now you have punished her, can I take her away now?”

“No.”

Stanford’s tone is cold.

Juliette is furious, she’s about to explode. No?!

She stood up angrily, shouted, “Stanford, what more do you want?”

Stanford spread his hand, his man immediately put a stack of documents into his hand.

He casually flipped through them, and his voice was icy and piercing.

"Those who have wronged Phoebe, according to the severity of the case, go receive the family rule on your own."

Family rule?

Several people present felt weak on their knees and sat on the ground with a poof.

The family rule is the heaviest punishment of the Fraser; most cannot even stand after being punished. Even the lighter punishment would require a few months of resting.

They were screwed, the big mouth, now they will pay the price,

Juliette’s expression is not great, her face pale, her body was tense and was trembling slightly.

Stanford just said he had investigated it, he knew it was her who spread the rumors.

According to the severity of the case, she would be receiving the heaviest punishment. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She’s only a woman, how could she withstand Fraser’s family rule?

She still didn't know whether Helena is alive or dead, now she’s going to suffer the same?

Juliette held in her fear, “Even if it is to receive family rule, you need to have proof, Stanny, you can’t just punish people when you are the acting master of Fraser.”

Meaning, she won’t admit it.

Stanford’s expression is extremely cold, “You want proof? See for yourself.”

He raised his hand and waved, a thick stack of documents in his hand flew around, scattered everywhere.

The people present hurriedly reached out to catch them, to pick them up.

They didn't pick up the copy of theirs, but looking at the contents of it, each one of them paled, full of despair.

For only a little time, the young master has investigated the whole thing thoroughly.

Down to every little detail.

Even who said anything about Phoebe at where is clearly documented.

What did they say, how they have tarnished Phoebe’s name, no one is off the hook.

Juliette caught a few documents as well, seeing what’s on the paper, her face fell.

Didn’t she know how easy it is for the Frasers to investigate it? If they want to know, they will investigate it clearly, there’s no escape from what she did.

What she didn't expect is that Stanford would do this so quickly and so thoroughly.

Even if she was his aunt, he would not let it go.

How cruel.

And how much did he care about Phoebe?

To avenge her, Stanford had no regard for relatives and families, punishing half of the Fraser.

...

Juliette was carried out from family rule court by people.

Her back was full of whip marks that looked bloody and horrific.

She’s half alive.

But she still gritted her teeth and willed herself from passing out.

When she got home, she asked impatiently, “How is Helena?”

Is she alive?

When Helena was brought home, she was taken to take the family rule, and she was not even able to be by her side when her daughter was in the most difficult time.

Juliette felt pain in her body and even more pain in her heart.

Braylee rushed over hurriedly, said, “Helena just got out of danger, the doctor is looking after her. You on the other hand, oh my, the injury on you is too severe.”

Braylee hurriedly called the doctor and carried Juliette into the room for treatment.

She said sadly, “You are Stanford’s aunt, how can he do this to you? Phoebe is just an outsider, how, how could he make you and Helena suffer this...”
