    Steward''s expression soured. He was appalled when Beryl told him she had something urgent to handle, especially since she had already expressed her willingness to help him.


    Since Beryl had already declined to help, it would be unwise for him to be persistent and continue asking Beryl for help. All he could do was chuckle bitterly and say to her, "Hehe, don''t worry about it then. You should focus on what you need to do."


    To his surprise, Beryl asked, "Was your daughter badly injured from the p?"


    Steward did not Beryl to show so much concern for his daughter. He could not help but say to her, "No, it was just a p in the face. That being said, it''s still a huge disrespect to my daughter as well as myself. I can''t just let this one slide. The worst part is that he pped my daughter even after knowing that she is my daughter! This is a clear show of contempt against the institution of amander!"


    Beryl smiled awkwardly. "Mister Steward, if all your daughter suffered was a p, then I strongly urge you to forget about it and not pursue the matter any further. I''m in no position to make any furtherments, but I hope you''ll understand that I''m advising you out of concern for you."


    Steward pulled a long face and retorted, "What do you mean by that? If you can''t help me, then so be it, but hearing you telling me to just forget about it is quite shocking, to say the least. Why should I just let him get away with pping my daughter?"


    Beryl smiled wryly and said, "You have nothing much to lose if you let the matter end here. Besides, based on what I know, Severin isn''t an unreasonable person. He won''t cause trouble for no good reason, so perhaps you should ask your daughter why she ended up being pped by him."


    "Are you suggesting that my daughter is to me even though she''s the victim?" Steward was even more unhappy. In his view, Beryl was starting to get cocky after making a breakthrough to the warrior emperor. It had probably reached an extent where she did not even treat amander like him with respect.


    "Forget it then. If you can''t help me, then just act as if I never asked. I suppose it''s around the time you head to bed, so good night and goodbye." Steward hung up angrily before Beryl could say anything else. "Hmph, did you think you''re on equal footing as me just because you made a breakthrough? How dare you say such things about my daughter after refusing to help me!" Steward sat back angrily on the sofa.


    He took a few minutes to calm his emotions. Then, he proceeded to call Warren.


    "Hello, Mister Steward! To what do I owe the pleasure? Is something wrong?" Warren asked politely when he saw that the caller was Steward.


    Steward felt much more at ease after hearing Warren''s polite tone. "I''m a little busy in theing days, and I need your help with something. Do you have some time to spare?"


    Warren did not agree right away. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Hehe, what could you possibly need my help with? Let''s hear it!"


    "Someone pped my daughter. Even though it was just one p, he did so despite knowing that she is my daughter. Don''t you think this is utterly disrespectful to me?" Steward said in a huff.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
