“Do you guys always talk down to others?”
Ferdinand’s eyes turned icy.
“I’m not obliged to do that. I’m just warning you to stay out of trouble.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t need your warnings,” Grace said, walking past him with a cold expression.

Avalynn frowned, puzzled by his sudden shift in topic.
