Ava gasped and bit her lips to stop herself from crying out. Her fingers clawed at his wrist to pry away his hands, but it did little to save her from the torture since Jerome was stronger than her.
Everyone watched happily as she struggled against Jerome, including Gaulin who now had a little smile on his face.
"Throw her out, son," he said coldly. "She's no longer welcomed here." He inhaled deeply, then exhaled mockingly. "It would have been surprising if she didn't throw a tantrum like this, but don't worry—" he smirked, "We'll settle this in court."
Jerome nodded without hesitation and dragged Ava out of the room.
Matilda and Noah followed behind them.
"Let me go! You're hurting me!" Ava's desperate voice rang through the mansion. She thrashed against Jerome's hold as she tried to free herself, but he only yanked her harder.
The commotion drew everyone's attention.
