Lara wanted to continue being stubborn and act spoiled with her parents as usual. Every time she did, they would be helpless and forgive her for her small mistakes. However, she froze when she heard those last words.
She could not believe her father would threaten her.
She would have been fine with the threat of being grounded or having her allowance cut off. However, threatening not to bother with her matters was serious. This meant her parents would give up on her.
