Everyone held their breath upon seeing Hunter’s state. Belinda sat on the sofa with a cigarette in hand. She did not even spare Hunter a glance despite his sobs.
The room stood in silence.
Even Celine, who was Belinda’s favorite, did not say a word.
Adrian crept to his wife’s side and asked softly, “What happened to Dad? Who beat him up?”
Emma replied, “Mom did.”
After a pause, she turned to look at Adrian. There was a hint of glee in her whisper. “Dad cheated on Mom and got caught red-handed. The woman was beaten up too.”
Adrian’s expression changed upon hearing those words.
He was reminded of his own affair. Although his parents had known about it and chose to turn a blind eye, Hunter’s affair was a grave issue. It would affect him and his brothers, who had committed the same mistake.
Adrian kept quiet as he stood beside Emma.
“Mom.”
Caroline broke the silence.
She glanced at Hunter whose handsome face was unrecognizable before setting her eyes on the frowning Belinda. She said, “Why did you summon us back, Mom? What happened to Dad?
