Chapter 12: I Will Seek Justice for You.

　　“Help!” 　　Lainey was scared, crying out for help loudly, which irritated Blair more. 　　Blair slapped twice on Lainey’s face with great force. Instantly, her tender cheeks became red and swollen, and there was even blood spilling out from the corner of her mouth. 　　“Don’t be so ungrateful! It’s a blessing for you that I have taken a liking to you! Damn it! How dare you dodge?” 　　The more Blair said, the angrier he became. At the end of his words, he even lifted his foot and kicked Lainey’s lower abdomen fiercely. 　　After being slapped twice, Lainey was kicked again before she could feel the pain, making her dazed and unable to stand. As a result, she lost her balance and fell in the rose field. 　　The rose’s branches and thorns instantly scratched Lainey’s skin. The pain on her face and stomach almost made her faint instantly, and there was a roaring in her ears, making her unable to hear anything. 　　Seeing that Lainey finally had no ability to resist, Blair once again came at her. 　　“Mrs. Sloan!” 　　There was the sound of a servant shouting in the distance, accompanied by the sound of footsteps coming from far away. 　　Blair finally sobered up after hearing that, and he suddenly had a cold sweat on his back as he saw Lainey who was pressed under him. 　　“Mrs. Sloan!” 　　The maid finally came over. Upon seeing the scene before her, she turned pale with fear. 　　“Well, this woman was so shameless and disobedient that I taught her a lesson!” 　　Blair stood up from Lainey’s body as if nothing had happened and straightened his clothes, shamelessly having dirt on Lainey. 　　Lainey wanted to argue, but she was in pain. It hurt so much… 　　The next moment, Lainey completely fainted. 　　Mrs. Sloan actually hooked up with Mr. Blair Sloan in the garden and was even knocked unconscious! This was so serious that the servant didn’t dare to be negligent. She hurriedly informed Vicente and Winfred about this. 　　When Winfred received the news and went downstairs hurriedly, Lainey had already been carried back to the living room by servants. At this time, she was lying on the sofa with her eyes tightly closed. The injuries and blood on her face were shocking by the sight. 　　“What’s going on here?” 　　Vicente questioned loudly and angrily. 　　How could this happen in the Sloan family? What if others knew about this? 　　A servant replied, “When we arrived, we saw Mrs. Sloan and Mr. Blair Sloan were about to…” 　　It was too difficult to say that the aunt-in-law and the nephew-in-law were about to have sex, and it didn’t seem to be that simple from Mrs. Sloan’s situation, so the servant didn’t dare to say anything more and lowered her head. 　　Blair accused first, “It was her who tried to seduce me, so I taught her a lesson!” 　　Winfred was guarding by Lainey’s side, his heart ached to see her swollen face. He didn’t believe Blair’s words at all. 　　“Did you say she seduced you?” 　　Standing up and coming in front of Blair, Winfred asked coldly. 　　“Yes…” 　　Winfred’s eyes were too sharp, making Blair have no confidence. 　　“Ouch…” 　　At this time, Lainey woke up in a daze. Her groan drew Winfred’s attention. 　　“Lainey, I’m here.” 　　“Honey…” 　　After recognizing Winfred’s face, Lainey felt wronged and burst into tears. 　　She wanted to fling herself into his arms, but it hurt so much that she gritted her teeth the moment she moved her body. 　　“Don’t move.” 　　Winfred picked Lainey up from the sofa, glared at Blair with a cold expression and went upstairs. 　　“What kind of look is that? I didn’t do anything to her!” 　　Blair was guilty after being glared at and defended himself loudly at Winfred’s back. 　　“Stop it!” 　　Vicente hit Blair hard with the walking stick in his hand and snapped, “Bastard! How could our Sloan family have such a bastard as you!” 　　“Grandpa!” 　　Blair jumped up from the pain of the beating, his face full of defiance, “It’s just a woman! What’s the big deal?” 　　“You!” 　　Vicente was almost pissed off. 　　Upstairs. 　　Winfred checked Lainey’s condition. In addition to the clearly visible redness and swelling on her face, he also found the bruises on her abdomen, as well as those densely-packed small wounds caused by the flower sprigs and thorns. 　　Winfred’s face darkened. 　　“I didn’t seduce him. It was he who tried to molest me.” 　　Lainey thought that Winfred was angry with her and sat up forcefully to explain to him, ignoring the pain in her body. 　　“I believe you. Stop talking and lie down. I’ll get the doctor to have a check.” 　　The family doctor soon came over with a medicine box and gave Lainey a thorough examination. In addition to the injuries on her face, the bruise on the abdomen was also very serious. Fortunately, it didn’t cause any internal injuries except for the surface tissues. 　　The doctor left Lainey a bottle of green ointment, saying that it could relieve swelling and pain. 　　Winfred applied the ointment for Lainey carefully and then dealt with the flower thorns that pierced into her skin. 　　After everything was finished, Winfred asked a maid to bring clean clothes for Lainey to change. He had been gentle and careful, afraid of hurting her. 　　“Honey, are you angry?” 　　After the ointment was applied, the pain was relieved a lot. Seeing Winfred pull a long face in silence, Lainey was a little worried. 　　Winfred’s heart skipped a beat at her calling him honey. 　　The girl in front of him took him as his husband, and she was his wife. However, she had been hurt so badly in the Sloan family! 　　Did he deserve to be her husband? 　　“No.” Winfred replied in a hoarse voice, his big hand gently stroking her red swollen cheek, “Does it still hurt?” 　　Lainey wanted to smile to soothe Winfred, but it hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes as soon as she smiled and moved muscles on her cheeks. As a result, this smile became weird. 　　“I’m not in pain anymore, so don’t be mad, okay? It’s my fault. If I hadn’t gone out, maybe it wouldn’t have happened.” 　　Blair seemed to be a member of the Sloan family. Although Lainey was angry with what Blair had done to her, she didn’t want to make Winfred fall out with the Sloan family because of her. 　　Lainey had long heard that Winfred was not very popular in the Sloan family because of his unattractive appearance, and Vicente might be the only one who was concerned about him a little because of their father-son relationship. 　　Therefore, Lainey didn’t want Winfred to lose this last bit of paternal care. 　　“Lainey, it’s not your fault.” Winfred stopped Lainey from blaming herself, “It’s me who didn’t protect you well. I’m the one who should say sorry.” 　　Winfred held Lainey’s hand and kept kissing it, feeling guilty in his heart. 　　“Let’s go. I’ll get justice for you.” 　　After saying that, Winfred bent down and picked Lainey up from the bed and went back downstairs. 　　At this time, Vicente and Blair were staring at each other speechlessly. Seeing Lainey, Vicente walked over quickly and asked, “Lainey, are you all right?” 　　Lainey forced a smile to Vicente, but this smile disappeared abruptly when she met Blair’s eyes.
