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?”
“What else could I be talking about?” Anger distorted Tyrion's features as he continued, “I've been courting you for years to no avail. Now, you've fallen for an ex-convict of all people! Tell me! How am I worse than Jared?”
He grabbed Josephine's elbow in the middle of his impassioned speech.
“Tyrion! Who told you all this?”
Josephine finally identified the crux of the matter. Someone must've tipped him off. Tyrion knows about everything in Horington despite being in far-off Summerbank.
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!”
She shot him a disgusted glare for good measure.
“B*tch!” Tyrion barked and slapped Josephine's face. Her cheek throbbed painfully.
Tyrion hissed, “Listen carefully! You're going to witness Jared's death at my hands today! No one can steal my woman away from me!”
“I'll never forgive you if you hurt Jared!” Josephine threatened.
Tyrion scoffed, “Hmph! You're only fueling my determination to torture Jared!”
He turned around and left the room, slamming the door behind him.
Josephine banged on the door and shouted, “Let me go, Tyrion! Let me out of this place! I swear, I'll kill you if you hurt Jared!”
