Chapter 861 Self Respect

“Jessica, did Old Mr. Quill not teach you self–respect?” Nathaniel parted his lips and spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, yet it cut through the air like a sharp knife.

Jessica was instantly stunned, frozen in place.

“Nathaniel, please don’t get me wrong. That’s not what I meant…”

Nathaniel had never criticized her before out of consideration for Fabian, but now it seemed she had no sense of shame and needed a wake–up call.

“If that’s not what you meant, you should watch your behavior and be decent,” he said.

Jessica didn’t mind being criticized by women, but being chided by the man she loved caused her face to flush in embarrassment.
