Chapter 738

Glynnls‘ complexion was ghostlier than a specter’s. The mere thought of apologizing to that blockhead, on her knees no less, seemed worse than a death sentence.

Her eyes darted towards Hamilton, who was seething with a righteous fury that left no room for the disgraceful spectacle she presented. It was clear that he was hell–bent on seeing her punished.

With the old man turning a blind eye, Glynnis, in a display of abject servility, knelt at Frederic’s feet, tears streaming down her face as she clutched his legs and pleaded, “Dad! I know I’ve messed up. I won’t ever dare to do it again! Banishing me from Elmsworth, forbidding me to show my filial respect – it’s cruelty enough! Haven’t I been punished already? As your daughter, don’t I deserve a shred of dignity? Must he grind my face in the dirt and drive me to despair before he’s satisfied?! Dad, please!”

A glimmer of hope sparked in Glynnis‘ swollen eyes. Frederic’s intervention meant he still harbored some paternal affection for her.
