Chapter 201: Chapter 201: There Is Always a Way Out

Previously, they didn’t understand and thought the Female Master’s gentleness was an obligation, a matter of course.

They took advantage of her tolerance, acted spoiled, willful, even mistook her patience for weakness.

But now they understood.

She was also once an orphan, once helpless, yet she forcibly shouldered this family.

They should not have treated her as an object of amusement, nor should they have treated her boundaries as a game.

They were willing to respond now.

Willing to understand, to be considerate, to learn to love.

"Female Master! No matter what you ask, we will agree!"

Evan Sinclair practically shouted, his voice laced with choking and determination.

His knees buckled, about to kneel, but was quietly supported by Adam at his side.

His tears finally rolled down, not because of grievance, but because of regret.

Adam silently shook his head and retreated to a corner.

He never spoke, just quietly watched everything.

He had seen too many things like this.

In that deceitful noble circle, he had witnessed countless once loyal, docile Female Masters who were willing to shield their masters from punishment, eventually becoming indifferent and ruthless.

If a Female Master, who once shielded them from the whip, became like this, it only showed they brought it upon themselves.

Their arrogance, recklessness, and lack of discipline, repeatedly challenging the boundaries.

Finally exhausted that rare trust and warmth.

Without the Female Master’s backing, the males became obedient.

Once they lost their support and protection, those once flamboyant figures immediately shrank into the corner.

"You can go back to your mother and tell her I’m mistreating you."

Selene Kane’s voice was as cold as ice.

"As long as she nods, we’ll divorce immediately."

She slowly raised her eyes, staring at them, her tone unwavering.

"I will personally complete the legal procedures, property division, identity change, not a single thing will be omitted."

"In the future, you will still be the young masters of the Osborne Family, not my side husbands of Selene Kane."

She paused, her voice lowered slightly.

"You can still enjoy noble privileges, come and go with courtesy, want for nothing, only... no longer belonging to my family."

"That means... I won’t have the right to manage you anymore."

As the last word fell, there was a trace of weariness in her tone.

Evan Sinclair’s eyes were bloodshot, as if he had heard a ghost story.

He abruptly looked up, his Adam’s apple rolling violently, lips trembling.

"Female Master? What are you saying? Are you driving us away?"

His voice was almost breaking, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Female Master!"

He almost shouted.

"What have we done wrong? You just don’t want us anymore?"

Ethan Sinclair’s eyes reddened too: "My mom won’t agree! We won’t agree either!"

He knelt on the ground, back straight.

Even with his knees on the ground, he refused to bow his head.

"She is your mother-in-law, she understands the meaning of this marriage! She won’t interfere!"

"Since we are married, we are your Beast Husband."

"In this life and the next, we will not be separated."

"You are our Female Master, our only destination. Unless you kill us with your own hands, we will never leave!"

Selene Kane: Why does she feel threatened?

She squinted slightly, a sense of absurdity crossing her mind.

Clearly, she was the one lecturing others, so why did it feel like she was the one being cornered?

But looking at their bloodshot eyes and trembling ears, she vaguely felt that this wasn’t a threat.

"Since you entered my house, you must follow my rules."

She said coldly.

"I don’t ask you to be very filial or respectful, but basic obedience and respect must be done."

"Do you have any objections to being punished now?"

Her gaze swept over the two, carrying an examination.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both with a sense of grievance in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, Selene Kane suddenly shouted.

"Kneel!"

The two, like students caught by a teacher, knees buckled and "thud" dropped to the ground.

Their Beastman pride vanished, leaving only two husbands afraid of being discarded, trembling.

Tails drooped, swaying slightly, as if they had lost all strength.

Ears sagged too, fur withered, the once fluffy and soft fur now clung closely to their heads.

Selene Kane was finally satisfied.

At least they knew fear.

As long as there was fear, it showed there was still a hint of awe.

As long as there was awe, it wasn’t completely out of control.

"Adam, begin."

Chapter 101: He Can Endure

Once Selene Kane got angry, the two brothers didn’t dare make a sound.

They knelt on the ground, heads hung low, even their breathing careful.

Ears lay limp against their sides, eyes moist, full of flattery.

They only dared to steal glances at her, their eyes briefly meeting before quickly darting away.

Selene Kane smiled a little, corners of her mouth slightly raised, but without any warmth.

Her gaze, however, urged them.

Hurry up, don’t dawdle.

Don’t think that acting pitiful will let you escape punishment.

Adam raised his hand, "snap" and struck their backs.

No matter how sturdy the muscles, they couldn’t withstand this pain.

Every lash mark went deep into the flesh.

But the three gritted their teeth, not a sound escaped.

Evan and Ethan Sinclair bit their lips hard, corners of their mouths already oozing blood.

Adam’s wrist was steady, the rhythm of the whip falling without hesitation.

Selene Kane clapped along with the rhythm, one beat after another, not hurriedly.

Oddly, her heart became inexplicably calm.

The anger just now seemed extinguished, even... somewhat comfortable?

The feeling of being in control of the situation unexpectedly brought her a long-lost sense of peace.

She unconsciously touched her belly, fingers lightly brushing over the fabric beneath the slight bulge, muttering softly.

"This child, don’t you feel sorry for your dad?"

"Clearly, it’s your dad getting hit, why don’t you have any reaction?"

"Who knows."

The system became anxious, its tone full of accusation.

"Host! They’re your males! Aren’t you heartbroken they’re beaten like this?"

"Look at their backs! They’re about to split open! Are you still human!"

"When the child grows up and knows their mom was so ruthless, they’ll surely hate you."

Selene Kane immediately raised her hands, tightly covering her ears, shaking her head while muttering under her breath.

"Can’t hear, can’t hear, crow’s beak stop nagging, shut up, shut up, don’t say anymore."

It has been a struggle to finally have some improvement in her recent days.

The pot no longer leaks, meals are plentiful.

She thought she could enjoy some peaceful days.

Only to realize this so-called system was not here to help her, purely causing trouble.

Aside from incessantly reporting meaningless data in her ear, it occasionally popped out with strange prompts.

Not a bit of practical use at all.

However, she’s not the type to be manipulated.

If something bothers her, she’ll retaliate without hesitation, never indulging it.

Even if it’s the system opposite her, she rebukes it unreservedly, never backing down.

Alza held the child tightly in his arms, his body inching backwards bit by bit. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

His fingers trembled slightly, even his breathing dared not be too loud.

He was a naturally timid fox, cautious and timid since birth.

He had only heard rumors of households where the powerful females abused their partners, the days unbearable.

At that time, he secretly prepared himself.

Endure, endure a little, and it will pass, as long as one lives, there’s always a way out.
