Chapter 396 Punishment
Chapter 396 Punishment
Savannah fell into panic when hearing that.
She felt even worse than simply being slapped. Her privileged life had gone impossible without financial backup. The luxury handbags, fancy outfit and her extravagant desire had all turned to be a daydream only.
“Mom, I know I was wrong! I can apologize to Ophelia! Please, don’t cut off my money,.”
Helena looked heartbroken while hearing that.
But she just simply waved her hand, still unspoken.
She buried herself into Steffan’s arms and beckoned a maid over, “Pack up all her clothes and bring that to her.”
The maid nodded and then went upstairs.
Savannah hurried over to kneel down in front of her mom, begging, “Mom, please, don’t do that to me! I am your only girl…Are you sure you can bear to watch me suffering in society?”
Of course, that was the last thing Helen could bear.
However, Savannah had to learn her lesson in case she ran into a worse consequence.
One should learn their lesson during struggling to tell who actually worth their trust.
Helena had to make up her mind, “Savannah, it’s time to grow yourself up. I do this for your own good. If Ophelia and her baby had been killed in the car crash, Zachariah would definitely have collapsed. And I would never forgive you.”
Savannah had never expected such a terrible consequence.
She just simply reckoned she would be the pearl in the palm of all once again after Ophelia had gone. However, she underestimated the status of Ophelia among the Chambers.
She only deemed Ophelia dispensable…
Now she was rendered so panic.
“Mom, it’s all my fault. I can apologize to her. I know how kind and generous she has been. I am sure she will forgive me.”
Helena shook her head, “Just move out of the house. Ophelia is still too weak to learn that you conspired the car crash. I don’t want to cause her hatred against you out of selfishness. She will be the lady in charge of the family. When she recovers, your dad and I will make her take over everything in the family. No matter how generous she has always been, as a mother, she would never forgive the one who planned to murder her son. This is the last time you can hide yourself under my shield.”
As Helen finished her words, the maid struggled to take a big trunk downstairs.
“Ma’am, this is the casual outfits and jewelry of Miss Savannah.” The maid said with respect. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Get those valuable stuffs out, including all her costly bags and jewelry. Nothing should be spared except for those casual clothes.” Helena determined.
The maid nodded with her head down. Silent, she unlocked the trunk and took away all the handbags and jewelry. Even the credit cards inside a muff bag were laid out on the ground.
When everything was done, the maid locked the trunk.
“Ma’am, it’s done.”
Helena nodded and waved her hand, “Okay, you may leave now.”
The maid then walked away.
Helena took out a deposit card and handed it to Savannah, “I offer you fifty thousand for your following financial backup. Learn to spend every penny wisely. And that should be enough before you get yourself a job.”
Savannah took over the card and exclaimed, “Mom, it can’t even afford a clutch!”
Helena sneered, “Savannah, remember! That’s all you have. If the money runs out, neither your dad and I will offer even one more penny for you. And don’t ever dream about extracting money from the credit cards you cached somewhere else. I will make your dad notice the bank to freeze all your credit cards. You have no one and nothing to rely on but yourself from now on. I won’t care even if you turn to be a beggar.” Said Helena.
Savannah looked at Steffan, begging, “Dad…”
Steffan sighed, “Savannah, your mom has decided. Do as what she said.”
Savannah finally realized all her hope had gone.
She took over the deposit card from Helena. But she still tried to struggle, “Dad, mom, are you going to abandon me?”
“When you finally realize your own fault and grow up someday, you will still be welcomed back.” Helena stared at her with mixed feelings.
Savannah finally left the family in tears.
Helena weakly buried herself into Steffans’ arms.
Steffan stroked on her back softly, “Did you make up your mind?”
Helena nodded and shed tears, “It’s time for her to learn her lesson. We used to dote on her so much that it brought her retribution. I was largely responsible for what she had done. I hope she could learn to be mature this time.”
Steffan seemed to be lost in thought. No one could tell what was in his mind.
Helena sighed and still compromised, “Arrange two men to protect her in a secret way. Watch her in case she strays. I just want her to learn her lesson and I don’t mean to push her to the edge.”
“Okay, I will have it done. And I will ask one of our branches to offer her a job. She will try to adapt to the position if she doesn’t want to starve herself. I am sure she will no more be as proud as before.”
Helena nodded and remained silent.
