I would’ve thought a psychopath like yourself would want all her attention.” Dad glares at him. “The world will think you all burned to death in the manor, so you are also dead, Sebastian. I’m more than happy to make that permanent. Just because you’re the father of my future grandchild does not grant you immunity. If you ever talk to me like that again, I will fuck you up more than Bernadette Sawyer ever did.”
