Madam Banners and Bebe glared at Roxie resentfully. They had always been arrogant in this household, and the entire family would have to act according to their wishes. Now that Roxie had broken this status quo, they were clearly upset about it.

Bebe stood up angrily and said, "I'm not eating. I no longer have an appetite." Then, she went upstairs.

When Madam Banners saw that her beloved daughter was going on strike and refusing to eat, she immediately felt upset at Charles as well. She roared a t him. "So your daughter came back and now my daughter can't eat her meals at ease! Tell me how you're planning to solve this?"

Charles looked at Roxie, hoping that she would give in.

However, Roxie looked at him in a relaxed manner. She was much more curious to know what her father would do to her in this situation.

Charles finally said to Roxie with a long face, "Roxie, you hurt your sister. Don't you know that it's illegal? Since this is your first time, I'll let it slide. But this won't be the case the next time."

Madam Banners shouted at him, "What?! Are you saying there's going to be a next time?! You have to punish her now, dear. Let her remember the lesson well. Otherwise, my daughter's safety in this house won't be guaranteed!"

Charles looked at Madam Banners. He was at a loss and asked, "How do you plan on punishing her, dear?"

Madam Banners grabbed Roxie's plate and threw it on the floor, saying, "Those who are in the wrong shouldn't be eating."

Roxie merely managed to eat a few mouthfuls earlier, s o her stomach was still rumbling in hunger. However, she did not bicker when Madam Banners took her plate away.

Madam Banners took it a step further and ordered the servant, "Send the young miss back into her room and lock her up."

Roxie glared at her angrily. "You dare?"

Madam Banners looked at her contemptuously and instructed the servant again, "And take her cell phone away."

Was this her way to stop her from asking for help?

Nonetheless, Roxie would not be asking for help anyway. She did not want Angeline to worry about her.

When several of the servants rushed over, Roxie weighed the situation and did not resist.

Just like that, she was locked inside her room by Madam Banners, while the family ate happily afterward.

Roxie sat on the bed and curled her body up while looking at the ceiling.

Warm tears were welling up in her eyes.

It seemed that even if she spent her lifetime trying to replace a cure, there was nothing that could heal her tragic childhood.

Every night, she would dream about

her tragic experience when she was younger. She thought that in the future, she would return and

establish a new relationship with her parents to heal the wounds in her heart.

to her

However, her father was still the same as before. He was afraid of her stepmother and would only obey her stepmother alone.

She only had a little to eat at noon, but they did not give Roxie any food at night.

Roxie was famished but she could only force herself to fall asleep hungry.

Meanwhile, at Tourmaline Estate.

After Angeline and Sir Ares sent Roxie off, they finally voiced the doubts that they had been suppressing in their hearts.

Angeline called all of the military intelligence division children over and scrupulously questioned the reason behind Roxie's injury. "She was just fine earlier, so how on earth did Roxie get injured? Plus, where's Lil Thirteen? Why didn't she come home with you girls?"

The sisters looked upset, and they lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.

They were worried that Angeline would not be able to accept Thirteen's betrayal.

Seeing the heavy look on their faces, Angeline grew more anxious. "Well? Say something. Where's Thirteen? "Robbie, spit it out."

Baby Robbie looked at his mommy and said frankly," Mommy, I think Thirteen may not come back ever again."

Angeline's face turned pale. This sentence truly made her assume the worst-case scenario. "What do you mean she won't be coming back?"
