"Finley, I love you. I will stand by you forever. If anyone tries to bully you, I will fight them back."
Aster grabbed my shirt and, with one strong yank, dragged me down in front of Sean.
"Kneel.”
“Kneel and say sorry to Sean and Nikolai."
"You will promise on your deceased mother that if you ever once more act jealous or bring them harm in any form, may your mother after death be boiled in oil and suffer endlessly, never knowing calm!"
I looked at her, completely stunned.
My mother treated her like a real daughter when she was still alive.
She once knelt at my mother’s grave, calling her "Mom" with deep feeling, yet now, just for the man she cheated with, she cursed my mother so harshly.
I wiped my tears, straightened my back. "Aster, I will never kneel to your mistress and say sorry. Unless I die."
Aster narrowed her eyes. With a wave of her hand, bodyguards came forward and pushed down on my shoulders.
A hard kick struck my leg and made me drop to my knees before Sean.
Before they shoved my head lower, voices broke out around us.
"Wow, the once proud heir of the Lawson family kneels to a third party. Shame on him."
