Leaving these words behind, Lady Gill strode away.
Upon hearing this, Austin panicked a little.
He stared at Lady Gill from behind with clenched fists. He still didn't dare to acknowledge what he had just been told.
No, he didn't dare.
He couldn't accept that he had bullied the sister he'd searched for so many years to such an extent...
He looked at Lady Gill, then turned to glance at Jackson one more time.
Jackson stood there with the help of others, his legs wide apart to protect his injured crotch...
He sounded frantic. "Austin, you must believe me!"
As soon as these words came out, Austin charged in front of him, grabbed his collar, and growled, "Tell me, she's not my sister, is she?"
"No, she's not!"
Austin glared at Jackson, his fingers trembling.
After a long moment, he pushed Jackson away and patted his shoulder. "Good, remember what you said."
