Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 364

Punishment?!

At the thought of spending the night kneeling alone in the chilly, gloomy family chapel, Fidelia's heart filled with dread.

Tears streaming down her cheeks, she pleaded, "Big brother, I know I was wrong, I..."

"Do you really know what you did wrong? Or are you just saying that so you can avoid kneeling in the chapel?" Lyman's voice was frigid. "I'll speak to Grandfather.

If you don't go back, you'll have to deal with the consequences."

Fidelia flinched, her whole body deflating like a punctured balloon, robbed of its energy.

Head hung low, she shuffled away.
