Chapter 171

Titus didn’t answer that. Instead, he asked darkly, “Where’s Tina?”

“She’s in her room,” Julia answered.

Titus squinted for a moment, then he went upstairs.

His inexplicable anger was making Julia’s heart pound with fear. Did Tina do something to get on his nerves? Worried about her daughter, Julia quickly followed him upstairs.

Titus started banging on the door once he was outside Tina’s room.

The door was opened a moment later, revealing Tina behind it. She was in her pajamas, looking sleepy. “What is it, Dad?”

The fact that she was looking sleepy only served to fuel his anger. I was humiliated at an important meeting, while you’re just sleeping? The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. In the end, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, and he slapped Tina as hard as he could.

Slap! Tina fell to the ground from the impact of the slap, entirely dumbstruck. But more importantly, she didn’t know why her father was slapping her.

Julia came over just in time to see that. She screamed in horror and went up to hold

Tina. “Tina!”

Tina was holding her face with one hand, staring at her furious father in confusion.

Julia was flabbergasted as well, but she was also infuriated. “Are you mad, Titus? Why’d you slap your daughter?”

“Why did I slap her, you ask?Do you have any idea what this girl did?” Titus was pointing at Tina with a trembling finger.

Tina finally got up with her mother’s help. “What? What did I do, Dad?” She stared at her father tearfully.

Julia touched Tina’s face, and she started to cry. “Does it
