Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1374 The Protective Husband

“That’s right. She was too pampered and grew up without discipline.

It was a sign that she had finally moved on.

Aoi’s look was a mixture of embarrassment and apprehension. She immediately directed a glare at her eldest daughter. “Did you hear that?” she said sharply. “You’ve gone too far, hitting your sister like that. I want you back in Jetroina with me tonight. Your father will hear of this, and he’ll make sure you get some discipline.”

What Sharon had said served as a wake-up call for her, and she was ready to send her intractable daughter back to Jetroina at once.
