He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 156

She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole; whatever fragile dignity she had left was being sliced into a thousand pieces.

"Enough!!"

Arthur Sterling finally roared, turning his furious gaze to the security team. "Throw these two out! Are we just going to stand here and let them make a mockery of us?!"

Beatrice flinched on the floor, tears streaming down her face. But as she looked up, she locked eyes with Juniper, who was standing just a few feet away.

It was as if she had suddenly found her lifeline. "June."

She scrambled to get up and run toward her, but remembering where she was, she froze, covering her face in shame.

She knew she had humiliated herself beyond repair tonight.

These were powerful, important people, and her husband was standing half-naked with his massive beer belly, throwing a drunken tantrum right in front of them.

She hadn't just destroyed her own dignity; she had completely annihilated Juniper's.

Juniper's lips were bloodless. She could feel the scorching, mocking stares of the elite crowd burning into her skin.

She lowered her eyelashes, standing in agonizing silence for a few seconds before walking forward and gently helping Beatrice up.

Beatrice's legs gave out. She had always felt hopelessly inferior around wealthy people, looking like a newborn lamb thrown into a den of wolves.

"June. June."

She kept repeating Juniper's name, clinging to her like a drowning woman.

Juniper's voice was barely a whisper. "Let's go. We're going home."

But before they could move, a bodyguard kicked Walter hard in the stomach, sending him crashing to the floor as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Sterling family's security team swarmed Walter, raining kicks down on him as if trying to beat him to death.

The sheer agony sobered Walter up instantly, and he began howling in pain.

Horrified by the brutal beating, Beatrice screamed and tried to rush over. "Stop! Stop hitting him!"
