The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1816

Bethany was as pale as a sheet of paper. It was as if she had just seen a ghost.

She thought, ‘Apologize to that fool on my knees? I would much rather be dead!’

Bethany immediately turned toward Nigel. However, the old man was so upset with her that he would not even meet her gaze. It seemed like he was determined to punish her.

Seeing as Nigel was not going to help her, she resorted to pleading again. She immediately dropped to her knees at Gregory’s feet and wrapped her arms around his thighs while begging hysterically.

“Dad! I made a mistake… I will never do something like this again! Just forbidding me from leaving the house is enough to kill me. You can’t go further and banish me from Savrow! You have already punished me enough… I’m your daughter. Don’t I deserve at least a little bit of grace and respect? Did you have to drag me across mud and torture me like this? Dad!!!”

She screamed and howled like a banshee. A bystander would have thought that she was the one suffering injustice.

Gregory frowned and tried to yank her up off the floor because of the optics she was presenting to the group of maids gawking outside. However, Bethany was glued to his legs like a leech. He doubted he could shake her off even if he kicked her.

“Justin, the punishment is severe enough as is. Just forget the part about needing her to apologize on her knees.” Gregory declared curtly.

Judging by his tone, it was more of an order than a suggestion.

Justin’s gaze was cold and piercing as he pursed his lips into a thin scowl.

A light suddenly gleamed in Bethany’s swollen eyes. She felt like a phoenix reborn.

This meant that Gregory still had an ounce of sympathy for her. All she had to do was to bide her time until this episode blew over. Then she could sneak back to Savrow and live her carefree life.

While she was silently celebrating, Justin suddenly spoke again.

“I object. She revealed information about Carrie's condition to someone who meant Carrie harm and made it public information. Think about how much she hurt Carrie. Are we just going to let this slide?”
