Chapter 365

Fowler was getting desperate. "But is it really fair to punish your own sister for the sake of an outsider?" he protested.

Lyman fixed Fowler with a hard stare, his eyes turning cold.

"Outsider? Effie is my wife. She's legally part of this family. The fact that none of you respect her or treat her as one of us just proves you don't see me as family either, does it?"

With such a heavy accusation hanging in the air, Fowler realized that if things escalated, he might end up in trouble himself.

"Lyman, that's not what I meant, I—"

"Then what did you mean?" Lyman pressed, his tone icy. "Just tell me: if someone disrespects the wife of the Etheridge family's eldest son and heir, should they be punished or not?"

Fowler knew there was no salvaging the situation now. He gritted his teeth and muttered, “Yes. She should be punished."

Lyman's window began to slide up, but he paused while there was still a crack open.

"Oh, and Fowler," he said coolly, "be sure to tell Fidelia I'll be home tonight to keep an eye on her. She shouldn't get any ideas about slacking off."
