Chapter 9: 9: Punishing Amy

Kate went upstairs to her bedroom then took out her phone to call Lisa and tell her everything that had happened.

"Really?" Lisa jumped with wild joy after hearing the story.

However, Kate was not sure if what she had done was right, so she said, "I don't know if it was a suitable punishment."

"My dear, you are just too kind. Although it is a good virtue, it all depends on who the target is. Amy mistreats you, so I don't think you went too far. You need to teach her a lesson." Lisa was worried that Kate would feel guilty, so she went on persuading her, "You must be strong, determined, and confident. Otherwise, everyone will bully you."

"I also want to be strong and confident. But whenever I am around Joseph, I'm just so timid." she heaved and said, "If Joseph were there then, I would have had no opportunity to punish Amy. After all, I'm not even as important as a servant here."

Lisa frowned and said, "Kate, you can do it for a bit longer. When you have a baby, you will be completely free!

"I don't want to think about the baby. Now, I just want my grandma to wake up and my father to walk normally. Then I will not feel so guilty."

"Of course, they will. They will be blessed because you are so kind." Her heart-warming words reassured Kate. She said, "Thank you, Lisa, for encouraging me all the time."

"That's all right. We are best friends. I will always be here for you." Lisa said. "But, I need to go, a customer just came in."

Kate then said to her, "You make the tea for your customer. Hopefully, we can go shopping together when we are both available."

"Sounds perfect. Talk soon. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Kate put her phone down and laid back on the bed to relax. Before she knew it, Kate was being woken up by a loud clap of thunder and someone pounding on her bedroom door. Remembering that Amy was outside, she immediately ran to open it.

"Lady Kate, Amy fainted," Ricky reported.

"What?" She ran downstairs quickly and saw Amy lying on the sofa soaked from the rain.

Kate looked at the clock on the wall; forty minutes had passed. She only planned to punish her for ten minutes, but she fell asleep.

"Take her to the hospital," Kate said calmly.

"I think she just got cold being out in the rain. She just needs to go to her room and rest," Ricky advised lowering his head.

Hearing her advice refused, Kate realized something. She sneered and said, "No, it's too serious. We must take her to see a doctor or have our family doctor give her an injection."

"Emm…" Ricky did not know how to respond.

When Ricky didn't say anything, Kate added, "Don't worry, when the family doctor gave her an injection, she will feel the pain and wake up."

As she put her phone back in her pocket, Kate said, "You have a lot of work to do to improve your acting."

The only punishment was going to be standing out in the rain, but when Amy tricked her, it made Kate even angrier. She sent Ricky to get her a shiatsu mat from the home gym.

"You can do squats for an hour, up and down the entire time on the mat. This is a punishment but also a chance for you to get more exercise. Most importantly, you can't play any more tricks." Kate commanded.

"Lady Kate, I already know I was wrong. I will never offend you again. I beg you to let me go this time, please. I have learned my lesson." Amy pleaded.

"It's too late." Kate grinned, "You have lost my trust."

"I…" Amy had no choice but to accept this punishment as well.

Kate took a book from the shelf and sat on the living room sofa to read. As she relaxed, Amy was having a hard time and counted every second, hoping that Joseph would arrive home sooner than later.

"Lord Joseph, you are home!" Ricky shouted.

Kate looked up to see Joseph and Amy let out a sigh of relief. He would put an end to her punishment, "Welcome home, Lord Joseph."

Though she was thrilled to see Joseph, Amy did not have the courage to step off the shiatsu mat. She only dared to watch Joseph, feeling both fearful and mistreated.

Joseph glanced at Amy, then with confusion, asked, "What are you doing?"

Amy answered quickly, ready to tell Joseph how Kate was treating her, "Lord Joseph, Lade Kate said it was too much trouble to take Alan to the veterinarian clinic and took her anger out on me. First of all, I had to stand out in the rain and then she told me to do squats on the shiatsu mat. She wouldn't even let me rest after I passed out from being in the rain."

Kate shook her head; she couldn't believe how much better Amy's performance was.

"Is this true?" Joseph asked Kate seriously. Joseph often questioned her after listening to other's explanations. She had already been accustomed to such unreasonable blame. Therefore, she just sneered, "Does my answer even matter? If not, don't bother asking."

"Is Alan okay?" Joseph asked Amy because the dog was what he cared about the most. He was the real reason why he came home sooner than planned.

"Don't worry; Alan is okay," Amy answered with a sweet smile, but her pain was evident.

"You can stop, sit on the sofa," Joseph said to Amy, then turned his attention to Kate, "You still want to kill Anna's favorite dog?"

"I will tell you again. I'm not interested in Anna's dog at all. If you didn't call me, I would never have touched it." Kate snapped back.

Why did I call her at a critical moment? Why did I trust her? Did she deserve my trust? Joseph thought to himself.

Knowing that Alan was fine, he eased his anger and warned her in an ice voice, "I will kill you if you do anything to hurt Alan."
