“What?” Luna glared at her. “Kaia, I’m a public figure now. I have fans. Do you really have to humiliate me like this?”

Lucien had little patience for drama. “You have two options,” he said flatly. “One, post a video apology on X-I’ll write the script. Or two, I kick you out of the family. Your choice.”

She clenched her jaw. Rage boiled up inside her like a tide. “Fine. I’ll post it.”

“Ten AM tomorrow. I want it up by then,” Lucien said coldly. “If it’s not, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.”

The entire house had been woken by the commotion, but Allen stayed in his room. He had no interest in mediating yet another family squabble.

But Lucien wasn’t about to let him off the hook.

With a sigh, Allen rolled out of bed. “You really are the perfect son, aren’t you?”

Lucien’s tone remained calm. “Dad, Luna’s going to post a public apology tomorrow. I’ll appreciate it if you make sure she follows through. You are the head of the family, after all.”

Allen shot him a tired look.
