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! You have already punished me enough... I'm your daughter. Don't I deserve at least a little bit of grace and respect? Did you have to drag me across mud and torture me like this? Dad!!!"

She screamed and howled like a banshee. A bystander would have thought that she was the one suffering injustice.

Gregory frowned and tried to yank her up off the floor because of the optics she was presenting to the group of maids gawking outside. However, Bethany was glued to his legs like a leech. He doubted he could shake her off even if he kicked her.
