"Liam! Bring your ass out here!" Alaric shouted atop the battle platform while searching for Liam in the crowd.
Everyone stared in Baron Nathan's direction, but Liam wasn't there.
Sensing everyone's gazes, the baron turned around and frowned. "Where is Liam?"
Vivian lowered her head as if trying to avoid his gaze.
Seeing this, the baron grabbed her arm with an agitation look. "What did you do?! Where is Liam?!"
Vivian nervously shook her head. "I-I don't know. Wasn't he here with us earlier?" She stammered in response.
"Stop lying to me and spit it out while I'm still asking nicely!" The baron finally snapped and slapped her face.
Pa!
"You!"
Vivian couldn't believe that her timid husband would actually slap her.
