Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Rules are rules, no excuses!

Baron Lawrence’s lips were tightly pursed, without offering a single word in defense.

The Housekeeper was anxious, wishing he could speak some words of submission on his behalf, but he knew it was impossible to replace him.

Old Master Lawrence waited for over a minute, but when no reflection came from Baron, the disappointment in his eyes deepened. His eyes, sharp with age, closed and then reopened, regaining their ruthless decisiveness, “Since you have made a mistake, you must endure the corresponding punishment, you know that, don’t you?”

“I know.” This was precisely why he didn’t allow Enna Clark to enter with him.

Old Master Lawrence’s eyebrows furrowed. After all, he was looking at his own grandson whom he had nurtured since childhood. For a brief moment he hesitated, his eyes that missed nothing looked toward the man standing rigid before him, and he suddenly asked, “Skye is also in Country T, does this incident have anything to do with Skye?”

He didn’t know what had happened, nor did he want to know; all he needed to understand was why his grandson, whom he had raised, could make such an impossible misjudgment in such a crucial decision. Who was this misjudgment related to?

Baron Lawrence’s sharp eyes flickered. Under the expectant gaze of the Housekeeper, he gave a negative answer, “No.”

The Housekeeper was extremely astonished.

How could there be no connection?

The information he had found was clearly related to Ms. Skye. The Old Lord was giving the Young Master an opportunity to step down gracefully, so why wasn’t he taking it?

“Absolutely no relation?” Old Master Lawrence squinted his eyes and stared at Baron’s face, as if scrutinizing the credibility of his statement.

Baron Lawrence allowed the scrutiny, his haughty chin drawing a cold arc.

Since he had already written Skye off, he would not bring up the matter again; that was the best protection for Enna Clark. Otherwise, the Old Man would definitely investigate what had happened at the time.

The matter he did not intend to speak of was imperceptible to others. After examining him for a moment, Old Master Lawrence was completely disappointed.

“Bring the family discipline!”

“Old Lord, the Young Master has just…” Upon hearing ‘family discipline’, the Housekeeper’s heartbeat skipped in abrupt alarm, and he couldn’t help but try to reason.

Old Master Lawrence sat back down on the sofa, his voice indifferent yet unquestionable, “Rules are rules, there are no excuses!”

“Bring it here!”

As much as the Housekeeper was unwilling, he still had no choice but to fetch the whip.

Old Master Lawrence narrowed his eyes, “Go on and do it!”

The Housekeeper could not bring himself to do it, “Old Lord, the Young Master has just returned, I…”

“Do you want me to do it myself?”

The Housekeeper’s words stopped abruptly.

If the Old Lord were to take action himself, it would certainly be like the last time; it would cost the Young Master half his life. If he had to do it, he…

The Housekeeper clenched his teeth and sent an apologetic glance towards Baron Lawrence.

Then, with a heavy heart, he tightened his grip on the whip and said softly to Baron Lawrence, “Young Master, it’s starting.”

The whip, as thick as a thumb, sliced through the air and with a smack landed on Baron Lawrence’s back.

Baron Lawrence grunted, his body swaying slightly, his handsome face suddenly paled. But oddly, his sharp eyes squinted.

The force behind the whip seemed to be deliberately controlled, appearing to be very strong but actually, when it hit the body, it wasn’t as terrifying as it looked.

Even so, the moment the whip touched his back, he could still feel the tearing pain in his back muscles.

As the second lash was about to fall, Old Master Lawrence suddenly called a halt, “The previous lash doesn’t count! Start again with three lashes! If you continue to shield him, we’ll have to start over!”
