Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 954

Clang!

The sound of porcelain broken jarred against the four walls of the hidden clan palace.

The fruit plate, which was thrown away by Tanya, flew by Eleanor's face at close proximity before it shattered on the ground into pieces.

Eleanor flinched at the grating sound, but she remained in her kneeling posture without moving a muscle. Her back was straight, and she held her head high. All of her features spoke of tenacity.

Exasperated, Tanya folded her hands behind her back and approached Eleanor. Rage surged through her trembling finger as she pointed at her daughter. "Do you know how much we lose this time?"

"I know." Eleanor's eyelids flickered, reflecting the pang of guilt that hit her.

"You know?!" Tanya raised her voice and kicked Eleanor in the shoulder. "You know nothing!"

Her whole body shuddered in pure ire. "You begged me to treat Matthew, and I told you to never let the bad guys off. They'll be a recipe for disaster! And look at what you've done. I laid out such a perfect plan and all I have to do is to wait for them to fall into the trap. I thought everything was perfect, but I didn't expect you to be the shortcoming!

"Forget about the heavy casualties, how dare you bring Matthew and his men out through the secret passage in the research institute! Don't you know what that secret passage is for?" With one hand on her waist and the other raised midair, she glared at Eleanor. The scorching gaze could literally burn a hole through Eleanor.

Lying on the ground, Eleanor gritted her teeth as the pain twisted her stomach. Ever since Eleanor could remember, Tanya rarely lost her cool.

The moment she decided to admit her fault, Eleanor knew what kind of consequence awaited her. She covered her stomach and got on her knees before Tanya again. "It is my fault. Please punish me."

The zero intentions to explain her stance kept Eleanor's speech terse. Tanya had expected that kind of response from her daughter, but it did not stop her blood from boiling.
