"I'm going to kill you, Joanna Pierce!" Seraphina howled like a banshee, and lunged at Joanna again. "Who do you think you are?! I'm telling you, I have something that could ruin your reputation! It might even cost you your life, so don't you dare provoke me, or else…"
"Enough!" Ace growled harshly, grabbing her and holding her firmly. His gaze was icy as he warned her, "You've been enough of an embarrassment today, so don't make things worse. If you keep this up, not even your entire family's wealth would be enough to pay for the consequences."
After hearing this, Seraphina immediately fell silent.
Joanna quickly took the opportunity to provoke Seraphina into giving her more information. "Oh? Ruin my reputation, you say? Tell me your plan then, my good daughter, Daddy won't get mad at you. Unless… you're bluffing!"
Seraphina hid behind Ace, her mouth shut but her glare piercing. It was obvious that suppressing her rage was absolute torture for her.
