Chapter 62 (2/2)

Fwoosh Father thren his documents and they spread over the table

I chewed onto mind as I watched

“Why didn’t you claim the credit for yourself?”

“Father, it seems like you already know, so… Is that truly necessary?”

“What backward logic If you think modesty is a virtue, you are sorely mistaken”

Do you think you have that sort of leeway in light of your position? he added

I was put to silence by his words
