Chapter 598 Let Jocelyn Taste Some Bitterness
"Yes, Hayden." The bodyguard nodded and immediately came to Jocelyn, raising his hand as if to slap her face.
"No." Jocelyn covered her face and dodged quickly, as she rushed to the bedside, grabbing Hayden's hand and questioning, "Hayden, what did I do wrong? Why are you hitting me?"
"Jocelyn, not only did you do wrong, but you did it outrageously. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you might end up harming yourself one day without even realizing it," Hayden roared in anger, then ordered the bodyguard. "No mercy, take her away and hit her."
The bodyguard answered, "Yes, Hayden."
Jocelyn shouted, "Hayden, I was just trying to fight for what I like, following your teachings..."
Just as Jocelyn was about to defend the mistake she made, two bodyguards came over. One of them pulled her away from the bedside, restrained her, and then the other bodyguard slapped her face.
The slap was quite heavy, and in an instant, the crisp sound of the slap and Jocelyn's screams echoed in the small ward.
Jocelyn cried. "Hayden, please stop, I..."
The bodyguards only listened to Hayden and didn't give Jocelyn any chance to argue back. They slapped her on the left cheek, then on the right, not stopping until Hayden ordered them to.
After being slapped six or seven times, with blood starting to appear at the corners of her mouth, Hayden took out her phone and sent a video call invitation to Gabriel.
Soon, the video call was connected. Gabriel and Teresa appeared on the screen.
"Hayden, I was wrong! Hayden... Please forgive me, forgive me!" Jocelyn screamed.
On the other end of the phone, Teresa saw Jocelyn kneeling on the floor, a bodyguard standing in front of her continuously slapping her face, causing it to swell and blood to trickle out.
She immediately shouted, "Hayden, what are you doing? Stop it right away."
Gabriel, on the other hand, remained calm as he watched the scene on the phone screen, surprised that Hayden could be so harsh on her beloved sister.
"Gabriel, Teresa, I'm sorry. Jocelyn made such a big mistake, and a large part of it is my fault. I spoiled her too much, which led to her being so arrogant and unruly." Hayden said and turned the camera toward herself.
"Hayden, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital? And your children, how are they?" Seeing Hayden in hospital clothes, sitting on the bed, Teresa immediately asked.
Looking at Teresa on the screen, Hayden said sincerely, "Teresa, don't worry about me for now. Today, I'm here to apologize to you and Gabriel."
"After escaping an avalanche, I hit a rock that passed out. Jocelyn and her companions found me, brought me back, but Jocelyn drugged me, trying to keep me captive." Gabriel on the phone noticed Teresa's confusion and explained immediately.
Teresa, even more puzzled, asked, "Why did Hayden's sister try to keep you captive?"
Gabriel looked at her and smiled helplessly. "Of course it's because Jocelyn likes me, so she wants to have sex with me and even asked me to divorce you and marry her."
"What?!" Teresa widened her eyes in shock, then, realizing what was happening, she looked back at the camera and asked, "Hayden, is what Gabriel said true?"
Hayden nodded as she looked at Teresa on the screen.
"I'm sorry. I can't forgive Jocelyn, even if she's your most beloved sister." Without a moment's hesitation, Teresa rejected Hayden firmly, her expression resolute.
Gabriel looked at her and suddenly smiled, extremely pleased.
"Teresa, I know you can't easily forgive Jocelyn for something like this." Hayden lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then she said to Teresa, "Tell me, how do you want to deal with Jocelyn?"
Teresa frowned, glanced at Gabriel. Gabriel remained silent, waiting for her decision.
Teresa's gaze returned to the video screen. There were a weary Hayden and a severely beaten Jocelyn, with blood oozing from her mouth.
Honestly, Hayden was quite ruthless toward her sister.
Now Teresa felt a bit hesitant to deal with Jocelyn.
Jocelyn's thoughts were indeed despicable, but she did save Gabriel, too.
If Gabriel hadn't been found by Jocelyn in time, lying in the icy wilderness for hours, he could have been seriously injured or even in mortal danger.
Moreover, Hayden was her good friend, and she cared about her two children.
So, if the punishment was too harsh, it would definitely affect her relationship with Hayden.
Teresa uttered, "Hayden, I know you have always spoiled Jocelyn, but for her to have such thoughts at a young age is terrifying. I don't want to let her off easily."
"Okay." Hayden nodded on the video call. "You can handle it."
"Hayden, I was wrong. Please don't hand me over to her. Please, I beg you." Jocelyn, kneeling beside her, immediately cried and begged for mercy. Her face almost beaten to a pulp on both sides, with blood streaks on her cheeks. Although there was no order from Hayden, the bodyguards stopped.
Hayden looked at the pitiful sight of Jocelyn being beaten and crying for mercy, her eyes flickering with a hint of hesitation. However, she ignored Jocelyn and just looked at the camera, asking Teresa, "Teresa, tell me, how do you want to deal with Jocelyn?"
Seeing Jocelyn's arrogant demeanor on the video screen, Teresa suddenly had an idea. She glanced at Gabriel and smiled brightly. "Since Jocelyn is studying at Sunridge Heights University now. Hayden, I suggest that for the next year, besides her tuition fees, you don't give her a single penny. Also, you can't arrange for anyone to take care of her daily needs. Let her fend for herself at Sunridge Heights and earn her own living."
Teresa's suggestion was to let Jocelyn be self-reliant abroad.
Hayden couldn't help but be surprised, asking in disbelief, "Teresa, is this your punishment for Jocelyn?"
"Yes." Teresa nodded. "What do you think?"
"Okay, of course." Hayden nodded without hesitation.
This was actually her own idea.
Over the years, she had indeed spoiled Jocelyn too much, giving her whatever she wanted, which led to her current arrogant and unruly personality.
Now, it was time for her to taste some bitterness, learn to be self-reliant, and truly experience this cruel world.
