Biting her lip, she put on a pitiful act:
“Mr. Shaw, even if they’re your family, they shouldn’t be allowed to break the restaurant’s rules. The kid stole, and I only said a few words. Then your wife threatened to kill me. Is this how you raise a child?”
At her words, Edward’s expression hardened.
“Grace, it’s bad enough you always spoil Sophie, but how could you allow her to steal?”
Sophie’s eyes welled with tears.
“Daddy, I didn’t. I really didn’t.”
But he only shot her a cold glance and sneered:
“You’ve always been weak and dull. I thought you’d grow out of it, but instead you’ve become worse. You’re a disgrace to the Shaw family!”
