Isabel Reid wore a face full of disappointment as she spoke with heartfelt anguish.
"I have been preoccupied with my cultivation and neglected the discipline of you. I thought that since you were an adult, you should know better. But now, you have harbored such malicious thoughts, harming others as well as yourself..."
Isabel Reid gave a deferential bow toward Carson Flores, her tone apologetic, "Carson, this matter is my daughter's fault. I will have her apologize to you. Moreover, I will take her back to the Heavenly Constellation Sect for a ten-year contemplative seclusion to thoroughly reflect on her sins. Please grant her a chance to make amends."
Katherine Reid was bewildered by her father's slap, but after hearing his words, she quickly came to her senses and bowed to Carson to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Carson. I was wrong before, and I will reflect on it. Please forgive me!"
Carson scoffed, putting on an act now?
A self-harming scheme?
