Chapter 284 The Stupid Son

Josephine was taken aback by the venom in Tyrion’s words. Unease grew in her chest as she asked hesitantly, “What are you talking about, Tyrion?”

Josephine winced in pain and yelled, “Let me go! You’re hurting me! You’re nothing like Jared!”

She shot him a disgusted glare for good measure.
