"Where's Abby?!" Barend's voice came from the first floor.
Mariah the maid's voice followed, responding in a terrified tone.
Abby had no idea what was happening. She furrowed her eyebrows and got up. She got out of bed, putting on her slippers.
Before she could walk out of her bedroom, she saw Barend rushing up furiously.
"Dad..." Abby was frightened. She had been scolded a lot lately, and was even kicked multiple times. She knew just how strong this man was.
A kick from him would cost her a month's time to heal.
She stared at her malicious father, absolutely terrified.
She could tell that Barend's eyes were filled with fury.
"Looks like I've been spoiling you way too much lately! You're so bored that you'd always provoke people you shouldn't!" Barend barked, grabbing Abby by the throat.
"Mmmh!" Abby yelped, her expression twisted.
She narrowed her eyes, and her mask fell off slightly.
