Vera was knocked onto the couch. But even that didn't seem to ease his rage. He lifted his hand again and was ready to hit her once more.
She trembled violently, too scared to even raise a hand to shield herself.

William froze for a moment, then turned to see Xavier. He lowered his hand and straightened up, but his face remained dark with anger.

"Why did you hit Mom?" he demanded.
"This has nothing to do with you. Go upstairs," William instructed impatiently.
"Even if something happened, you can't just hit her like this!" "I told you, it's none of your business! Go upstairs now and close the door behind you!" William's furious roar made Xavier flinch.

Vera tugged at his hand gently. "It's okay, Xavier. Your father and I just argued, but it's over now. Go upstairs. Your father was just angry-he won't hitagain." "But-" Xavier hesitated. He had never seen William treat Vera like this before.

She collapsed to the floor under the force of the blow. There were beads There were of sweat on her forehead from the pain, but she clenched her lips tightly, refusing to make a sound. She knew he would only hit her harder if she cried out.
He struck her more than ten times. By the the finally stopped, she was curled up on the ground, clutching herself in agony.
William scoffed coldly and tossed the cane aside.
"If I had married a wealthy woman instead of you, I wouldn't be in this situation today." He sneered.
"What good are you? You're useless in business, and the daughter you gaveis nothing but a curse. Now she's grown up and dares to defy me. If I had known, I would've strangled her the moment she was born."
