“You ungrateful child! I’m your father, how dare you talk to me like that?” Jeff fumed, red in the

face.

If it weren’t for the room full of guests, he would’ve slapped him right then and there! Their generation, except for Emeric, believed in the principle “The best need no teaching, the good need strict teaching, the worst need a good beating“. To deal with this little devil, he’d have to strip him down to his bones, skin him alive!

“If you show respect to my mother, then I can maintain some semblance of a father–son relationship. But if you don’t, then there’s more where that came from, just waiting for you.”

Avery suddenly laughed, his lips curled upwards in a sarcastic smile, but his eyes were devoid of any humor.

He laughed without mirth, a cold and cruel laughter that even Jeff felt a chill down his spine!

At the end of the hallway on the balcony, the Chambers men stood facing each other.

The outside temperature was nothing compared to the icy tension between them.

“What the hell do you want?” Jeff demanded, his face as cold as ice.

“I didn’t know beforehand how much the gift you gave to Myra was worth. If you feel that my gift outshines yours and that I’ve embarrassed you, then I apologize.”

Avery seemed indifferent, “After all, ignorance is innocence, right?

I’m not talking about the gift!”

Jeff took a step forward, the whites of his eyes turning red, “Why did you bring her here? Are you trying to piss me off, to humiljate me?”

Avery laughed loudly, tears of laughter streaming down his face, “I thought you were talking about something serious. Turns out it was this.”

“Avery!” Jeff clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

“My biological mother, the woman you once swore before God to love in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do you part. Now, in your eyes, is she nothing but a source of disgust?”

Avery’s eyes were red with anger, “You abandoned my mother in Helgen for fifteen years without a care. Now that I have the means to take care of her, to provide for her, to make her happy, all you do is complain about how disgusting she is. I’ve tolerated your insults. That’s more than enough father–son affection.”

“Bastard!”

Jeff finally lost his temper, delivering a resounding slap to Avery’s face!

Avery’s pale cheek instantly reddened from the slap, a stark contrast to his still–smiling lips and bloodthirsty eyes, “Dad, you’ve been looking rather weak lately. That slap didn’t have nearly as much force as before. Are they not taking good care of you?”

“Bastard! Shut up!”

Jeff pointed a trembling finger at his defiant son, “Take your mother and leave immediately. If you don’t, I’ll send someone to take her back to Helgen!”
