My Lord Is Wise

The yard was in pitch silence. Everyone looked at Jeffree with shock in their eyes.

Cyril was completely stunned too. His face was bloody painful. He had never expected his father to slap him in front of so many people.

"Evil creature! How dare you defy the city lord's castle?" Jeffree said in a severe voice.

"I…" Cyril was terrified. He didn't know what to say and could only seek help from Denise at the side.

"Master, you have to help our son. He's innocent. He would never dare to break the laws." Denise stepped forward and pleaded as she wept. "Please talk to the city lord. Ask him not to arrest Cyril."

Slap!

Jeffree gave another resounding slap again. This time, the slap landed on Denise's face.

The servants in the yard widened their eyes when they saw that. They quickly looked away and avoided looking at the scene.
