Chapter 14
Maria could no longer contain her anger and threw the whip directly at them.
“The three of you, take turns slapping each other! Stop when I say so!”
The three brothers dared not resist at all. Each of them used all their strength to punch each other.
In just a few moments, their clothes were torn open in countless places, blood flowing down continuously, wounds gaping open and flesh torn, very frightening.
After some time had passed, Maria finally gestured to stop and asked sharply:
“Tell me, what wrongdoings have you done?”
After a moment of silence, Adam spoke first:
“Grandma, I did nothing wrong. I don’t want to marry Raelynn. All the grievances she suffered were because she in- sisted on getting involved. I warned her many times!”
Benjamin also insisted, “Grandma, I am too. If she hadn’t been constantly chasing after her, she wouldn’t have re- ceived so much punishment. She bullied Alice, and that’s what she deserved!”
“I also thought so, Grandma. We are both not satisfied with this engagement. It shouldn’t have existed in the first place. We did nothing wrong!”
Charlie was stubborn too.

“Hmph,” Maria sneered in anger, “Since you all kept saying you didn’t want to marry Raelynn, why cause a scene to- day! Raelynn compromised, married Joshua, you got what you wanted, what else are you not satisfied with?”
As soon as these words were spoken, all three of them fell silent.
There was silence among the sparrows during the break.
After a long time, Maria sneered again, “Since the three of you stubbornly refuse to admit your true feelings, then fine, I will arrange for you to be engaged to Alice, whom you all like!”
“If you dare to disturb Raelynn and Joshua in the future, I will never forgive you! Neither will Joshua!”
Upon hearing this, the three of them all froze, unable to react for a long time.
“Grandma, what did you say? they all asked in unison.”
Maria repeated it again.
“No, it’s too early to talk about engagement, I haven’t thought about it yet… Charlie mumbled, hanging his head.”

There was infinite panic and fear in his heart, and he didn’t seem to be in such a hurry to get engaged to Alice.
Looking at the two brothers beside him, it was obvious that they felt the same way.
Seeing the three people’s silent resistance, the smirk on Maria’s face became even more pronounced.
“Huh, don’t want to get engaged to Alice? Dream on! This is settled, you all keep saying you like her, isn’t it just be- cause you want to marry her? I’ll do as you wish, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter!”
With a bang, Maria left and took the door with her.
The door was locked from the outside, and the three of them couldn’t get out at all.
Just as they were about to say something, the calm and expressionless voice of the bodyguard suddenly came from outside.
“Three young masters, please continue to fight. Madam Norster said that you can only be released when Mr. Joshua says to let you go.”
After speaking, the bodyguard stationed himself outside the door, silent and indifferent to all sounds.
Adam, Benjamin, and Charlie glanced at each other, unconsciously furrowing their brows and pointing fingers of
blame.
“Why didn’t you agree to marry Alice?”
Three voices chimed in at once, and then Adam said irritably, “I just like her, but I never thought about marrying her.”
It was obvious that the other two people felt the same way.
Although they were still discussing Alice, the thoughts of the three had already shifted to Raelynn.
They wanted to go out.
