Soon enough, the word got out. Andrew's face turned as pale as a ghost, riddled with guilt as he apologized to Charlie, "Charlie, I don't even know how to begin to apologize to you. If it'll make you feel any better, feel free to give me a couple of slaps!"

"It's not on you!" Charlie snapped back. "Whoever did this should bear the responsibility!"

The manager hurried off to fulfill the request.

Jonathan glanced at Kya's neck, "Do you think she needs a full body check-up?"

"No need, she's not hurt anywhere else!" Charlie said.

Jonathan nodded slightly but still had the estate's doctor come over to examine Kya and provided some cream for the swelling and bruises.

He felt a surge of anger comparable to Charlie's. If anyone dared to lay a finger on his daughter, he would not hesitate to make them pay dearly!
