The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 92
Chapter 92
When Coral got home, Gabriel was already gone.
She saw her parents sitting in silence on the sofa. She wanted to say something, but the vibe was off, so she tiptoed towards her room.
But as soon as she took one step, Brandon’s angry voice boomed, “Stop!”
Coral instantly stopped, looking at Brandon with terror, “What’s up, Dad?”
She knew that her actions had caused Uncle to lose his job and trouble for Vivienne, which had plunged the Lockwood family into crisis. Her parents were upset, and she knew they were going to hold her accountable.
Days passed and her parents hadn’t mentioned the incident. She thought they wouldn’t blame her, but now, she was starting to worry.
Her mom was usually pretty laid back and spoiled her, but her dad, oh boy, when he was angry, it was terrifying.
“Kneel down!” Brandon roared.
Coral was shocked. She wanted to argue back, but seeing the fury in Brandon’s eyes, she lowered her head and obediently knelt down.
Jaylan Lockwood, hearing the commotion, came out. He glanced at Coral, but didn’t say a word.
Yeah, this little sister definitely needed some discipline.
“Whack!” Brandon’s hand came down on Coral’s face, “You ignorant child! I have always been upright and never harmed others, but I never expected to raise such a troublemaker like you!” Coral, clutching her face, looked at Brandon in disbelief.
No matter what wrongs she had done in the past, her father had never hit her. This slap was a heavy one, and she could feel her face swelling up.
Feeling wronged, she suddenly stood up, crying and glaring at Brandon, “Dad, you hit me? What did I do wrong, why did you hit me?”
“Whack!”
