Aftermath (3)

Yasmin looked at her grandfather, scowling, but keeping her mouth shut given his warning and the look on his face, watching him move over and sit down on a vacant chair, before looking directly at her.

Silence filled the room for a couple of minutes, before Yasmin said, with her head dropped "Grandfather?"

"You will listen young lady and accept your punishment for what you have done."

"Why?"

"Do you not comprehend the damage that you have done to the family business?" came the angry response from Grandfather Bai.

"I did no damage. I just…"

"Stop right there. Answer me thig question. Who did you hit?"

"A traitor of a true friend."

Shaking his head, Grandfather Bai angrily responded "That is a view Yasmin, and I am not going to argue with you about the correctness of that statement, because she may well be. But with her background, do you not think about consequences?"
