<h4>Chapter 126: Punish Her!</h4>


    Brianna had already regained herposure, and hearing E’s sharp remarks towards Hannah, she was immediately displeased. However, she maintained a calm demeanor and said to E, "E, your sister was forced by that man. Don’t listen to the rumors outside. After all, we’re family, and you should trust your sister, right?"


    E’s lips curled in a mocking smile. "Family? Auntie, you speak so beautifully. Ever since you all repeatedly set me up, I stopped considering you family long ago!"


    Brianna’s face turned pale, not expecting E to tear into her so openly.


    But with the wisdom of age, Brianna managed an awkward smile. "It was all because Hannah was immature before, don’t hold it against her. After all... I did raise you with great care!"


    E let out a cold snort. Indeed, Brianna had raised her, but who would remember things from childhood? She might have given her the worst food, while showing off outside and abusing her at home!


    In her memories, Brianna had been very kind to her, deliberately indulging her, and shaping her into a spoiled and wild child!


    Yes, she had been too good to her!


    "By the way... E... has any stranger called you?" Brianna suddenly recalled something and asked gently.


    E shook her head. "No, hardly anyone knows my phone number!" She said, then strode upstairs.


    Brianna watched her back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Mrs. Jones hadn’t contacted E.


    Hannah’s eyes grew colder, ring at E’s back as if she wanted to pierce through her.


    "Hannah, don’t show your thoughts so easily on your face," Brianna said softly.


    Hannah snapped back to reality, the chill in her eyes fading, and she smiled slightly. "I understand, Mommy!"


    Despite E’s mocking and disregard, she had to remain calm!


    E returned to her room, locked the door, andzily flopped onto her bed.


    Besides the bed in a new home, there’s no bed asfortable as your own.


    Thinking of Brianna’s pale face, Eughed with satisfaction.


    "Brianna! Your suffering has just begun. Enjoy it while you can. The pain you inflicted on my mom, I will repay a hundredfold!"


    E smiled with satisfaction. If just one phone call from Mrs. Jones scared her this much, the next steps would surely bring her more agony!


    Feeling much better, E took a half-hour bath, leaving her body and mind refreshed!


    Her phone kept ringing. Wrapped in a thin robe, E ran out and saw the caller ID was "Someone".


    It was, of course, Eric.


    As soon as E answered, Eric’s anxious voice came through. "Babe, why didn’t you answer? Did something happen?"


    E’s eyebrows lifted in amusement. Eric must have thought she was in trouble because she didn’t answer for so long.


    "No, I was just taking a bath. Did you call several times?"


    "You scared me to death. I called five or six times with no answer, almost called your home phone!"


    Eric let out a light sigh, and E felt her heart bloom with joy.


    "Mr. Nelson, were you worried I was in trouble? It seems you’re very much in love with me, huh?" E asked with a smile.


    "Love, of course. I love your body and your moans the most!"Eric teased, making E wrinkle her nose.


    "Eric, you... you’re really terrible, but..."A sly smile appeared on E’s lips. "Why don’t youe over right now? I’m waiting for you in bed, Mr. Nelson! Do you still remember what my body looks like? I once kissed..."


    "E! You’re quite something, knowing how to tease me!" Eric’s breathless voice came through, showing just how affected he was by her.


    "Hahaha..." Eughed so hard on her side that she almost lost herself.


    Eric’s breathing grew heavier. "Babe... moan for me on the phone..."


    E’s face felt like it was burning. "Eric, no way. I’m going to sleep now, bye!"


    She quickly hung up the phone, her heart pounding wildly.


    This guy is crazy! He actually wanted to... on the phone... He’s really too much!


    The phone began to ring insistently again, its clear ringtone particrly jarring in the room. Blushing, E mustered the courage to turn it off!


    She could just imagine Eric fuming on the other end.


    But so what? E knew that in a rtionship, if she gave him everything he wanted, she’d only end up giving more and more, sinking deeper and deeper.


    To put it bluntly, if one day he changed his mind and she couldn’t leave him, she’d be the one suffering in agony!


    E put the phone on her bedside table and, wide awake, decided to turn it back on.


    To her surprise, as soon as she did, the phone vibrated non-stop. She widened her eyes in shock. Dozens of messages hade in just one hour!


    "Babe! Turn your phone back on... I miss you, I miss you!"


    "E! Come out right now, I’m outside yourmunity!"


    "E, you’ve got guts turning off your phone! Just wait till I punish you!"


    "E, get out here right now!"


    "If you don’t turn your phone on, fine, I’ll find a way to punish you!"


    "..."


    The messages ranged from threats to coaxing, pleading, and outright bossiness.


    E burst intoughter. Even though she knew Eric was an impatient guy, there was no way he could torment her tonight.


    But she could predict that at their meeting tomorrow, she’d definitely be on the receiving end of his frustration.


    Oh well!


    A man like Eric—if she was toopliant, he’d think she couldn’t live without him!


    Men need to be kept on their toes, made anxious so they realize how much they love the woman.


    Love also needs some distance. Being stuck together all the time kills the freshness and makes the love age quickly.


    E set her phone to airne mode and started ying a match-three game.


    She yed until her eyes were sore and waves of fatigue washed over her. Finally, she put down the phone, tucked herself in, and fell into a deep sleep.


    She didn’t know how long she had been asleep.


    E suddenly felt someone kissing her.


    She inwardly mocked herself, thinking she must be missing Eric too much to dream of himing to her side and bothering her.


    But the kisses were so urgent, so rough, carrying a kind of punitive madness!


    The scent—it was Eric’s scent, so real. E’s body naturally responded.


    The realism shocked her. Could a dream be this real? Or... was someone really kissing her?


    She snapped her eyes open and sure enough, someone was on top of her. But they were too close, and with the dim light, she couldn’t see who it was!


    But the scent—it was definitely Eric’s! Yet wasn’t he supposed to be at home? How could he possibly get in here?


    There was a faint smell of alcohol in his mouth. E tried to push him off, but she waspletely at a disadvantage. The man pinned her hands to the bed, making it impossible for her to move.


    The frantic kisses almost stole her breath away. His hot body pressed against hers. E moaned softly, feeling extremely ufortable.


    The man finally released her lips,ughing wickedly. "E! I told you... I would punish you severely!"
