Jillian was clearly pushing her buttons.
Mr. Richard and Raul Henrik were still in the room, seemingly daring her to retaliate and curious if she had the guts to do so.
Raul, who had been rather friendly at first, quickly turned cold at Jillian’s provocation.
Henrik’s expression also hardened, his voice icy as he spoke, “Miss Evans, I’m really curious about what you said or did to provoke our usually sweet Flora into hitting you.”
“So, now it's my daughter’s fault?” A deep male voice came from the doorway as a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.
Jillian’s face lit up, and she exclaimed, “Daddy!”
The man limped slightly, leaning on a cane. His difficulty in walking seemed to cast a perpetual chill around him, making him hard to warm up to.
Mr. Richard quickly stood to offer Christian a seat.
Christian’s leg had been injured by a gunshot while serving as a medic at the border. Untreated in time, he was left with a permanent limp.
Christian adored Jillian, and seeing the scars on her face, his already stern expression grew even darker.
“Mr. Richard, I sent my precious daughter here to study, and she ends up seriously injured. What do you have to say about that?”
“Daddy! It’s her, Flora!” With Christian present, Jillian’s arrogance flared. She pointed at Flora and bitterly spat out, “She not only hit me but also insulted the Grant family!”
