Chapter 851 Give Another Chance
The white snowflakes gently fell, landing on a girl's long hair.
Lola stood in the snow, her eyes red as if she had just cried.
Abbie saw her and was startled, "Ms. Medici? Why are you standing here?"
This was the main building's entrance, and she had left the adjacent building without permission. Did Beckett and Kimberly know?
"What are you doing?" Abbie saw her standing in the snow, with a long branch placed in front of her. Although Abbie was a bit confused, she still said, "The ground is cold, you should go inside."
Lola stared ahead expressionless, "Abbie, go tell my parents that I just picked up this branch. If they are still angry, they can use it to whip me until they feel better."
Hearing this, Abbie knew she couldn't persuade her and hurried inside to report to Beckett and Kimberly.
At that moment, Kimberly was looking at some photography on her phone. She discussed with Beckett, "Beckett, how about we hire this photography team to take our family portrait for Easter? These are some of their previous works, and I think each one looks warm and natural."
Just as she finished speaking, Abbie came running in and explained the situation with Lola standing outside.
"What is she doing?" Kimberly got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulling back the curtain to see Lola standing in the snow, her thin figure looking pitiful.
"Ms. Medici was beaten up in front of the house a few days ago, then bitten by a snake, and later fell and got a fever. She probably hasn't recovered yet, and now she's standing in the snow." Abbie's words made Kimberly's expression change. She stood in front of the window, silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.
In such cold weather, Lola was actually standing outside.
Beckett also saw Lola in the snow. She looked particularly pitiful, even though she was wearing a fleece nightgown, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. But outside, it was freezing, and the snow was falling harder and harder. Her body was trembling slightly from the cold.
She seemed to be crying, or perhaps repenting. From childhood to adulthood, she had been pampered by everyone. How could she be standing outside in such cold weather?
"Dad, Mom, I was wrong." Lola shouted loudly in the snow, her voice tinged with sobs, "I shouldn't have spoken ill of Abella behind her back. I shouldn't have disappointed you. I know saying a thousand or ten thousand apologies won't help, and it can't make up for the harm Abella suffered. There's a branch in front of me, and I ask you to punish me severely!"
The two servants in the garden didn't expect Lola to end up in such a state.
Even though they were wearing thick coats and warm gloves, but Lola was standing in the snow in just a thin fleece nightgown, barefoot.
Under the falling snow, her face looked a bit pale, clearly from the cold.
"I heard she badmouthed Ms. Abella Medici in front of her friends and was sent to the adjacent building to reflect by Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici."
"When she was sent there, she was already injured, and then she got a fever. Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici didn't even look at her."
"I used to think she got along well with Ms. Abella Medici. I didn't expect her to do such a thing."
"But isn't Mr. and Mrs. Medicii's punishment too harsh? They didn't check on her when she was injured, didn't care when she was sick, and now they haven't come out to see her standing here."
"Ms. Lola Medici has always been pampered. This is the first time I've seen her standing here in such a sorry state. I hope Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici give her a chance. She looks so pitiful."
"Ms. Abella Medici is the real heiress of this family. Ms. Lola Medici bullying her is clearly not respecting Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici."
"Dad, Mom, Abella, I was wrong!" Lola cried out, tears streaming down her face, "I was really wrong!"
She looked extremely regretful. Beckett looked at the icy snow outside, then at her coughing from the cold, and couldn't help but say, "Let her come back inside."
Seeing that Kimberly didn't speak, Abbie had no choice but to run out and inform Lola.
"Ms. Lola Medici, let's go."
"Abbie, do me a favor." Lola lifted her tearful eyes, pleading sincerely, "Pick up that branch and hit me hard."
"What?" Abbie was stunned, "Ms. Lola Medici, I wouldn't dare hit you."
"I did something wrong and deserve to be punished." Lola raised her voice, "Dad, Mom, Abella, it's freezing outside. You can watch from inside and let Abbie do it!"
She then looked at Abbie, "Whether I can go back to the main building depends on you. The harder you hit, the more likely I'll be allowed back."
"But this..."
"Do it," Lola commanded, scaring Abbie into picking up the branch.
The branch was over a meter long, looking almost as thick as a stick. It would hurt a lot to be hit with it.
"Ms. Lola Medici."
"Hit." Lola seemed to have steeled herself, closing her eyes, ready to be punished.
Under pressure, Abbie lightly hit her back, and Lola scolded, "Didn't you eat? Or do you also want me gone?"
"No, I absolutely don't think that." Abbie had to use more force.
"Harder." Lola gritted her teeth.
Abbie increased the force again.
"Use all your strength."
This time, Abbie closed her eyes and hit hard. The branch struck Lola's thin back, causing her to lurch forward, almost falling into the snow.
After all, Abella wasn't here today to see her in such a sorry state.
Jacob had also said he would try to keep most of the servants away, so at most, only two or three would see this scene.
If she could temporarily lose face to gain her parents' forgiveness and return to being the Medici family's heiress, she thought it was worth it!
"Yes, just like that, continue." Lola gritted her teeth and endured.
For Lola to return to the main building, Abbie steeled herself and hit her hard again.
The sound of the branch hitting made Abbie feel guilty.
She hit hard again, and Lola fell forward into the snow, and at the same time, the branch broke in two.
Abbie, frightened, dropped the branch and helped Lola up, shouting towards the main building, "Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici, please forgive Ms. Lola Medici. Ms. Lola Medici has been pampered since childhood and can't endure such hardship. Her injuries haven't healed yet."
At this moment, Jacob in the living room also took the opportunity to persuade, "Mr. Medici, Mrs. Medici, I think Ms. Lola Medici truly knows she was wrong. It's already remarkable that she stood outside in such cold weather. Please give her another chance."
