Chapter 1663 Too Light A Sentence

In answer to Lorraine’s confused expression, Sonia continued, “Since I was slapped across the face,

how about I slap you back, and we’ll call it even?”

Lorraine looked at Sonia in disbelief. That’s it?

“What’s the matter? You don’t like the idea?”

“It’s not that,” Lorraine answered helplessly. “I just think it’s too light a punishment.”

“We’ll make it ten slaps, then,” Sonia said before turning toward Lawrence. “Father, I was slapped a

few times. Let her slap herself ten times as her punishment.”

Although Lawrence agreed that a sentence of that nature was too light, he was unwilling to overrule his

daughter’s decision.

Upon obtaining Lawrence’s assent, Sonia had Lorraine begin her sentence.

“Do it yourself. You can go easy,” Sonia muttered when she was close enough to Lorraine.

Sonia’s kindness touched Lorraine. Feeling incredibly guilty about the pain she had subjected the

former to during the kidnapping, the latter gave herself ten tight slaps.

Sonia frowned at the sight of the red palm prints on Lorraine’s fair skin. Is she stupid? I told her to go

easy. Why did she hit herself so hard?

“Enough.” Lawrence looked at her swollen cheeks. “Let’s consider this matter resolved. We won’t

pursue it anymore.”

Lorraine sighed in relief. She knew they had only let her go as easily as that out of respect for Arielle.

Because of that, she found her appreciation of Arielle rising. I would still be on the run if it were not for

her.

Harvey, who was standing beside Sonia, thought that the woman had gotten away with it too easily. By

her hand, Sonia was almost… However, he did not say a word. Only his eyes darkened as he looked at

Lorraine.

After Arielle’s departure, Lawrence got in his car for his meeting. It was the day Nancy gave her

answer, and he was looking forward to seeing if she would concede her power to the new king for the

sake of his growth.

The queen mother was the last one to arrive at the conference room. Only upon her arrival did the

meeting officially begin.

“Upon consideration, I think your words have merit. Aaron needs to be trained.” Nancy swept his gaze

across the few people at the meeting table before fixating them on Aaron. “When he was alive, your

father was most passionate about our medical industry and had employed many practitioners. You are

hereby tasked with the research of medicine. Come up with something and contribute to the people.”

Nancy grew at ease the more she spoke. The medical industry was Turlen’s weak point. Despite the

workforce Dylan had engaged, she felt that nothing much had come of it.

Aaron’s gaze darkened. Does Grandma not want me to inherit even a sliver of power by letting me

handle medicine? Would I have the time and the authority to handle other matters?

However, it suited him just as well. Aaron planned to oblige her for the time being and take things one

step at a time. Eventually, he would take control of all the power.

Aaron raised his voice and said, “I am thrilled and honored to continue Father’s legacy. I pledge to

improve the quality of medical care in Turlen so that our people will no longer fear any diseases again.”

Lawrence initially intended to refute Nancy’s words but decided to remain silent after hearing Aaron’s. It

is good for the king to have his own opinions. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Night descended quickly.

Illuminated by the moonlight, Lorraine handed the flash drive in her hand to the contact person before

turning around to leave.

Just as the contact person was about to enter the palace, somebody clapped a hand over her mouth

from behind.
