Chapter 474

Chapter 474

“Hiram.” Karina looked at Hiram, seemingly sensing something amiss. She gazed with explicit threat, despite in the presence of everyone.

It was hard to describe how I felt. How could someone look at their own child in such a way? It was as if he wasn’t her son but an insubordinate slave.

Hiram fell silent and shrunk back submissively.

I knew what he was afraid of. If I spoke out, he might have to face Karina’s punishment.

Even if I didn’t say anything, he would still be scolded.

“I have nothing to say.” The words died in my throat. No matter how much I disliked Hiram, I couldn’t bear to see him punished by Karina.

He was like a puppet that Karina had meticulously crafted. He appeared to be cherished, but in reality, he wasn’t truly cared for.

Karina exhaled in relief knowing I wasn’t going to continue. If she provoked me any further, it would only be disadvantageous for her.

The Whitmore family was now a complex mess with Karina and Hiram’s return. I was ready to leave with Serena, but Neil stopped me. “First clear it up, what did Karina make Hiram do?”

“Dad, Mommy didn’t make me do anything. Don’t misunderstand her!” Hiram, seeing Neil getting serious, quickly went over to hug Neil’s leg and pleaded, “Don’t blame my mommy, okay?”

He started crying as he spoke, and Neil’s expression softened slightly. He loved his son deeply.

I left with Serena in his moment of hesitation. This was their family matter, and I didn’t want to get involved.
