"Mom, could you give it a rest for a sec? Don't rile dad up any further!" Nick said, rubbing his throbbing temples.
In this family, Carolina might run the show, but Jonah was supposed to be the head honcho. And in this house, he was just a nominal 'leader', with zero real decision-making power.
"Who should be pissed off, him or me? He's muddling right from wrong, ungrateful, irresponsible, how can he be the head of the family?" Carolina said.
Jonah was seething, his eyes bloodshot, "If the Summers family falls apart, it's all on you! You're autocratic, domineering, full of yourself, can't tell right from wrong. You think your decisions are all that, always believing you can pull the wool over everyone's eyes, craving attention. Ridiculous!"
"Jonah! You're just being unreasonable!" Carolina snapped, her temper flaring up again.
"Enough!" A cold voice suddenly cut through Carolina's outburst.
Chloe, frowning deeply, walked back into the living room, making a beeline for Jonah.
"It seems this family can't accommodate you if your decisions don't align with theirs." Saying this, she bent down and forcefully helped Jonah up from the sofa.
Jonah's breathing was heavy, and Chloe could feel his body trembling. She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with a mix of sympathy and anger.
"Come with me!" Chloe gripped Jonah's arm tightly, her voice cold, and dragged him a couple of steps.
