The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1374 The Protective Husband

“She passed away?” Aoi asked.

“That’s right. She was too pampered and grew up without discipline. As a result, she did many bad things and ended up losing her life as retribution for her misdeeds.” Sharon sighed, though her expression remained calm. Years after the incident, she was finally able to talk about it without getting emotional and could even admit that her daughter’s passing was retribution. It was a sign that she had finally moved on.

Aoi’s look was a mixture of embarrassment and apprehension. She immediately directed a glare at her eldest daughter. “Did you hear that?” she said sharply. “You’ve gone too far, hitting your sister like that. I want you back in Jetroina with me tonight. Your father will hear of this, and he’ll make sure you get some discipline.”

What Sharon had said served as a wake-up call for her, and she was ready to send her intractable daughter back to Jetroina at once.

Himari paled. “No, Mom, please don’t tell Dad.” Cowed, she tried to plead with her mother, “It was wrong of me to slap Ichika. I was just upset by her words… And she hit me too.”

“Don’t justify your actions with excuses!” Aoi snapped. I’m done with putting up with your shenanigans!

“I think it’s best that you arrange for them to leave as soon as possible, Solomon,” Rufus said with some hesitance. “Ichika’s sister… She, uh, got pretty violent and hit Ichika.”
