Emma pointed at Bennett, so furious she was speechless.
Seeing that his wife and son were about to start arguing again, Frank quickly stepped in to mediate.
He lifted his leg and gave Bennett a light, playful kick.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, get out of here. Stop upsetting your mother,” Frank said, waving his hand dismissively while shooting his son a wink.
Bennett rose from his seat, his handsome face a mask of calm. “Mom, get some rest. I’ll come see you another day.”
With that, he turned and left.
“Bennett, you get back…” Emma started to say, but Frank stopped her.
“The brat’s a grown man, just leave him be. He’ll learn his lesson when he hits a wall,” Frank said, pretending to be on Emma’s side.
But Emma angrily shook off his hand. She wasn't blind; she had seen her husband and son exchanging glances. The two of them were just as bad as each other.
“Look at him! This is what happens when you spoil him,” she fumed, clutching her chest.
“Our children have to make their own way. We should meddle less in their lives from now on,” Frank advised.
Emma glared at her husband, too tired to argue, and turned over to lie down on the bed.

The Thompson family’s driver took Yvonne back to her apartment in the city center.
After the car stopped, the driver got out first, respectfully opened her door, and dutifully waited until she was safely upstairs before leaving.
Yvonne returned to her apartment, changed out of her evening gown, and removed her makeup. Just as she was about to take a shower, her phone rang.
The screen flashed with Jeffrey’s name.
Yvonne, who had just finished removing her makeup and was tying up her hair, hesitated for a moment before answering.
