Joy stepped on her backside with force, and Ariella felt like her buttocks were about to burst from the pressure.
"I'll behave, I've been taught a lesson," Ariella cried out in pain. "Sister-in-law, please stop hitting me, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneak-attacked you. I won't dare to do it again."
Joy had initially intended to give her a good beating, to make sure she remembered the pain and didn't try any underhanded tricks again.
But she hadn't expected such a proud and spoiled young lady to lose her composure and cry so miserably.
"Do you really understand your mistake?" Joy asked sternly.
"I really do, I truly understand. Please don't step on me again, my buttocks are swelling. I'll listen to everything you say from now on, I'll respect you just like I respect Dean..."
Joy snorted coldly. "I thought you were more capable, but you're begging me so quickly."
