Quinn scolded Eric hysterically. Her hands were shaking because she wanted to hide her guilty conscience. She also did not want to endure the resentment and grievances that accumulated for many years.
There was hatred in her eyes as she looked at him. Her face was distorted from anger.
“You got your bodyguards to tie me up? What about him?”
She was scared.
Eric must know everything since he was waiting for them at the entrance of the bar.
“How did you know?”
Eric stared at her silently. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, but he did not want others to see his fragility.
It would be too easy for his defenses to break down.
Eric tightly clutched the bone that had lost its temperature.
He flashed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile as he threw it at her body.
His voice was gruff as he said, “He’s right here.”
Quinn saw the man’s bone clearly and was startled. Her face turned pale instantly.
She screamed and fell to the ground, looking at her son in horror.
“You...”
Eric’s eyes were calm, like the surface of the sea. There were no fluctuations on the surface because he was suppressing the turbulent currents inside.
He looked at her with ridicule and a dangerous and cold smile appeared on his face. His eyes were bloodshot.
“Mom, look at what you did. Do you deserve anyone’s respect? You still care about him? He’s dead, so do you want to avenge him?”
Quinn was trembling and felt cold all over.
The fear in her heart spread to her limbs and bones. She felt like a poisonous snake was choking her to death.
“You b*stard! I’m your mother! How could you do this to me?”
Quinn cried out with all her strength. She stretched out her hand to hit Eric on the face and body. Then, she unwillingly picked up the bone next to her and threw it at him.
Eric’s handsome face was wounded. There was blood on his forehead, but he did not seem to feel it or care.
He let the blood flow as he sneered and pursed his lips.
“How could you do this to me? I didn’t blame you for leaving me to fend for myself abroad. I didn’t blame you for being partial to Ingrid. I didn’t blame you when you bullied Nicole and ruined our marriage. You made so many mistakes with Ingrid when you two were abroad. Ingrid became pregnant and trusted the wrong man because of you, but I didn’t blame you for all of this...”
Eric chuckled, stood up slowly, and suddenly swept the vase next to him to the ground.
The sound of the glass shattering was piercing and sharp in this empty villa.
It seemed like it was magnified countless times.
“Why do you have to be so restless? Why do you have to turn everyone’s lives upside down to be at ease? This time, what did you want to do to Nicole by colluding with that man? Nicole and I are already divorced. Aren’t you satisfied? What else do you want me to do before you can be happy and stop all your nonsense? Am I not miserable enough?”
Eric looked at her in a daze as tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Quinn hesitated to speak. She suddenly burst into tears.
“But you can’t forget that woman! If it wasn’t for Nicole, I wouldn’t end up like this! You wouldn’t have vented out all your grievances on your sister either! Shouldn’t I hate her? Shouldn’t I hate you?”
Quinn cried hysterically as if she was pouring out the grievances in her heart.
Now that they had a complete fallout, they no longer had to worry about their mother-and-son relationship.
Feelings were something that did not matter in the upper society.
Eric took a step forward. He was shrouded by gloom and gave off an intimidating and oppressive vibe.
It made Quinn subconsciously take a step back.
