365.Chapter 365

Gabriel’s slap landed with brutal force, causing Sophie’s cheek to swell up almost instantly. Staggering backward, she crashed to the ground in a tangle of limbs, vision swimming as her ears rang. For a long moment she was too dazed to react.

At that precise moment, several shadowy figures suddenly appeared in Sophie’s courtyard. One of them stepped forward. blocking Gabriel’s path with a cold, piercing gaze.

“Lord Mowbay, what are you doing?”

“Move aside.” Gabriel’s eyes narrowed as he fixed the intruders with a frosty glare. I’m disciplining my daughter, and it’s none of your business.”

Lucas sneered. “Sophie may be your daughter, but she carries the Case bloodline. Lay another hand on her, and you’ll regret
