"I've endured you till now because of Ember and Ivy. But if you continue to question me, threaten me, or even think of showing me a cold face, I won't hesitate to slap you."

She tried her best to wear the mask of confidence, but from Kael's perspective, he only understood one thing... and that was game over.
