After the call, Hallem's expression darkened. He looked at Sabrina and hissed in a harsh voice, "Did you and Amy provoke Mr. Chen?"
"Ah..." She was confused. She did not understand what her grandfather meant for a moment.
"Tell me what happened at the cafe in detail. Don't leave anything out," he demanded in a low voice.
"Grandpa, I..." She looked at her grandfather with a puzzled expression on her face.
He glared at his granddaughter and fumed in a stern voice, "Say it!"
She had never seen her grandfather treating her like this. She was so nervous that tears began to well up in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Hallem's expression and voice softened slightly.
"Sabrina, I'm not blaming you. It's just that this is a very important matterand it may even affect the entire Huo family."
"Thus, don't lie or hide anything from me. Tell me everything."
"The entire Huo family... Is it really that serious?" Sabrina looked at her grandfather in disbelief.
He nodded his head solemnly and said, "I will explain it to you later."
With doubts clouding her mind, she told him the whole story of what happened at the cafe in detail.
After hearing this, Hallem's face turned dark and gloomy. He looked at his granddaughter with rage and helplessness. "Sabrina, you... How could you treat Mr. Chen like that?"
"Grandpa, I-1 didn't want to, but, Amy, she..." She explained.
He continued, "Even if that was the case, you shouldn't go along with her! It'll bring disaster to our Huo family!"
"Why didn't you listen to my words?" He was angry and anxious at the same time. He raised his voice and shouted at her, "Get on your knees!"
She was stunned. It had never occurred to her that her grandfather would punish her in such a way and she was totally taken aback.
At this very moment, the other members of the Huo family were alerted by the commotion as well. They quickly hurried over to the loud voices.
A middle- aged couple came in, only to see Sabrina kneeling in front of Hallem with tears streaming down her face. Their expressions shifted immediately.
The woman hurried to Sabrina's side to help her to her feet. "Sabrina, get up."
As for the man, he frowned at Hallem and questioned, "Dad, what are you doing? Sabrina is a young girl. How could you..." "Stop, let her kneel!" Hallem yelled at the middle-aged woman.
She stopped in her tracks while the man's expression sank. He walked over to try to help Sabrina up.
However, Hallem bellowed loudly again, "Stop it!"
"Dad, what on earth are you doing? What did Sabrina do to deserve a punishment like this?" This middle-aged man was Armando, Sabrina's father.
Britney, Sabrina's mother, who was standing by the side, also muttered anxiously with tears in her eyes, "Dad, what happened? Let Sabrina up and we'll talk this out!"
Hallem's face darkened. With a cold snort, he said, "Let her up? Did you know that she almost brought a huge disaster to our Huo family?"
"A disaster? Dad, what's going on?"
"Dad, Sabrina has always been a good girl. How could she cause any trouble? There must be some mistake."
