When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 758 Not A Saint

Dorothy was making a fuss, pleading with her mother to take her back to kindergarten so she could study with Jonathan..

Priscilla, casting aside any concern for her dignity, squatted down in Cecilia and Helen’s presence, placing both hands on her daughter’s shoulders as she cried out, “I told you you’ve been expelled, so you can’t go to kindergarten anymore. If you keep this up, I’m going to have to punish you!”

Dorothy was instantly reduced to tears out of fear.

Cecilia and Helen couldn’t stand the way Priscilla was treating Dorothy.
