Chapter 284 The Stupid Son

Josephine was taken aback by the venom in Tyrion’s words. Unease grew in her chest as she asked hesitantly, “What are you talking about, Tyrion?”

Tyrion tightened his grip on her elbow and demanded, “That’s none of your business! Tell me! How is Jared better than me?”

Josephine winced in pain and yelled, “Let me go! You’re hurting me! You’re nothing like Jared!”
