The Daughter
A father doted blindly upon his daughter, never disciplined her and indulged her in all things. However, when he discovered that she had fallen pregnant by a lover, he beat her soundly. Furious, his daughter conspired to have him killed, and after his death lived a life of luxury and self-indulgence.
