196. I'm Not Courageous Enough

"Jessy, now you're teaching Father, huh?! Instead of minding my business, it's better to raise our family's reputation in high society! I heard from your teacher that you also often skip etiquette class! Do you want to embarrass our family, Jessy?!" Edon put his hand on Jessy's shoulder. He gripped his daughter's shoulder tightly while glaring at Jessy with hostility. He was already frustrated with the problem at hand, but Jessy pushed him even more and gave the impression that Edon wasn't taking the case seriously.

Jessie winced in pain. Her shoulder ached, so Jessy grabbed her father's wrist, trying to release the grip on her shoulder. "Ugh… It-it hurts, Father…"

Jessy's eyes filled with tears looking at Edon who was still in the same facial expression. Edon's eyes darkened until he realized he had hurt his own daughter.
