Chapter 738

Glynnls‘ complexion was ghostlier than a specter’s. The mere thought of apologizing to that blockhead, on her knees no less, seemed worse than a death sentence.

Her eyes darted towards Hamilton, who was seething with a righteous fury that left no room for the disgraceful spectacle she presented. It was clear that he was hell–bent on seeing her punished.

With the old man turning a blind eye, Glynnis, in a display of abject servility, knelt at Frederic’s feet, tears

streaming down her face as she clutched his legs and pleaded, “Dad! I know I’ve messed up. I won’t ever dare to do it again! Banishing me from Elmsworth, forbidding me to show my filial respect – it’s cruelty enough! Haven’t I been punished already? As your daughter, don’t I deserve a shred of dignity? Must he grind my face in the dirt and drive me to despair before he’s satisfied?! Dad, please!”

Her wails were so intense that an outsider might mistake her for the victim.

Frederic frowned, trying to pull her up. The sight of so many servants witnessing this undignified scene was too much, but Glynnis clung to him as if she were a leech, seemingly impossible to shake off even from a kick. “Thaddeus, the punishment you’ve proposed is quite severe already. Let’s skip the groveling apology,” Frederic said firmly, his tone more of a command than a suggestion.

Thaddeus‘ eyes flashed with icy resolve, his lips pressed into a thin, unyielding line.

A glimmer of hope sparked in Glynnis‘ swollen eyes. Frederic’s intervention meant he still harbored some paternal affection for her.

Once the storm passed and Grandpa Hamilton’s wrath subsided, she might yet have a chance to return to the lap of luxury at Elmsworth.

Thaddeus spoke out in a chilling voice, “She gave Marilla’s confidential medical information to those with nefarious intentions, exposing her suffering for all to see, causing her deep harm. You think we can just quietly
