Chapter 379

• Madam Edna entered the room with a warm smile, her tone laced with false concern. “Gavin, I heard you upset your father the moment you stepped into the house. He’s getting old—he can’t handle too much stress. As his son, you should respect and obey him instead of always going against his wishes.”
• Liza’s hands clenched into fists at her sides, her heart surging with anger. The hypocrisy in Madam Edna’s voice was unbearable. Among all the people here, this woman was perhaps the most shameless.
• Taking a deep breath, Liza forced herself to stay composed. She let out a soft, pitiful sniffle and wiped at imaginary tears. “Gavin, I told you not to come back to this house,” she said sorrowfully. “And look what happened. The moment you return, your father beats you, and now your mother is here blaming you without a single word of concern.”
