maltratar verb

When I stopped giving him money and he began to suspect that it was my daughter who was at the bottom of it, he gave up all attempts at concealment. He then began to ill-treat Monorama so cruelly, not hesitating even to insult her before outsiders, that once more I had to go on giving him money without her knowledge, knowing full well that I was only helping him on the road to hell.
Cuando no quise darle nada más, él dedujo que mi hija me había puesto al corriente de todo, y dejó de disimular. Entonces le dio por maltratar a Monorama cruelmente. Llegaba a insultarla en presencia de extraños, por lo que, sin que mi hija se enterara, tuve que volver a darle dinero, aun sabiendo que le ayudaba a condenarse.
