Dominic rubbed his temples. "My sister has a sharp tongue, but don't stoop to her level."
Seraphina let out a cold laugh.
His own child had been bullied, and he was making excuses for the aggressor. What a garbage father.
"Dominic, running her mouth is one thing, but her physically attacking them is a fact! Not only was Lily bullied, but Phoebe was hit too. What are you going to do about it?"
Dominic's eyes wavered.
Phoebe had been hit, too?
His mind instantly flashed back to the last time Gideon had ordered his men to snap a bodyguard's leg right in front of him.
Gideon wasn't going to let this go easily.
Dominic swallowed instinctively.
He turned to Gideon, his tone taking on a much more deferential pitch. "Uncle Gideon, my sister was definitely in the wrong here. As an apology, I'll sign over the East End Renewable Energy Park project to compensate Phoebe and Lily. I hope you can be lenient."
To offer that up was like slicing off his own flesh.
The East End project was worth billions of dollars!
But Gideon's expression remained icy, showing zero signs of compromise.
"The project will cover the children's medical bills and emotional distress. But Madeline's assault is a matter of law. I've already called the police."
Madeline couldn't believe her ears. "Uncle Gideon?! Uncle Gideon, you can't do this! I'm a Lockwood, we're family!"
Gideon cast a flat glance at her.
That single look was bone-chilling, lodging the rest of Madeline's pleas squarely in her throat.
She turned to Dominic, desperately hoping he'd beg for her, but all she received was a warning glare.
Dominic closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded. "Understood. We'll do exactly as you say."
Gideon retracted his gaze, looking over at Seraphina with a noticeably gentler tone. "That project is yours now."
Seraphina looked up at him, her brows knitting together. "I don't want it."
"Lily was terrified tonight."
