“You are not the only one who is ashamed. Stop shouting.” Horton glared at him angrily, “You didn’t watch over your daughter and allowed it to happen. How shameless of you to scold me! Why don’t you explain first why your daughter was in the same room with another strange man!”

Duke Bourne was stunned, “Your majesty, what do you mean?”
