Bethany was as pale as a sheet of paper. It was as if she had just seen a ghost.

She thought, 'Apologize to that fool on my knees? I would much rather be dead!'

Bethany immediately turned toward Nigel. However, the old man was so upset with her that he would not even meet her gaze. It seemed like he was determined to punish her.

Seeing as Nigel was not going to help her, she resorted to pleading again. She immediately dropped to her knees at Gregory's feet and wrapped her arms around his thighs while begging hysterically.

"Dad! I made a mistake... I will never do something like this again! Just forbidding me from leaving the house is enough to kill me. You can't go further and banish me from Savrow!
