Ruth heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who it was. However, Julian’s cold expression made her a little uneasy.

She said, “Julian, you scared me. What are you doing here so late at night? Why didn’t you call me first…”

Julian sneered. “Mom, Clark, what are you guys planning to do so late at night?”

“Nothing. We just came over to hang out…” Ruth did not dare to let Julian know that she wanted to teach Valerie a lesson. She quickly made up a story. Julian was not so easy to fool. He rushed over in a few steps and grabbed her wrist, revealing the knife in Ruth’s hand.

Julian’s face darkened. “Mom, can you explain why you’re holding a knife in the middle of the night?”

Ruth was unreasonable to others, but she was a little afraid of her son. She stuttered for a moment, “I’m going to kill a fish. I’m hungry when I come back. I want to cook!”

Julian did not believe her. His tone became even more aggressive. “Kill a fish? How can there be fish? And Clark… What are you doing with an axe in your hand?”

Clark was impatient. “Why do you care? This house has been in disrepair for a long time. Can’t I repair the house?”

Julian did not believe it at all. He thought, Why are you fixing the house at this time? Why don’t you say that you want to chop some firewood?‘

Julian sneered and snatched the knife from Ruth’s hand. He directly exposed the two of them. “Mom, Clark, you’re not allowed to go anywhere! We’ve made a fool. out of ourselves these few days. Enough is enough! Especially Mom, if you cause trouble for Valerie again, I’ll cut ties with you and never talk to you again.”

Ruth clutched her chest in disbelief. She could not believe that Julian would say such a thing. She could not help but point at him and curse, “Julian, you’re crazy! Do you actually want to sever ties with me for that woman? Don’t you know that I am doing this for you? Aren’t I saving my house for you in the future? Why are you siding with an outsider?”

Julian said, “Valerie has suffered for more than 20 years. Now that she’s finally

settled down, don’t bother her anymore.”

“I’m bothering her? It’s clearly that money–losing good–for–nothing who’s ungrateful and deliberately ruined our reputation. I can’t take this. I have to find her!” Seeing that Ruth was completely unreasonable, Julian felt as if his brain had snapped.

He looked at Ruth in despair and was speechless. “Mom, when will you know that you are at fault?”

It was.clearly this family who had let Valerie down. It was everyone in this family. who had mistreated Valerie. He thought, ‘Why does my mother not feel that she is at fault at all? Instead, she feels that she is having justice on her side!”

Sometimes, he really felt that it was ridiculous, but the person who did all this was the one who gave birth to him and raised him. She treated him well and was only vicious to Valerie.

Julian had always wanted to change Ruth in the past, but no matter what he did, it was useless. After so many years, the feeling of powerlessness almost suffocated him.

Looking at Julian standing there blocking the door, Ruth was furious. She raised. her hand and was about to hit him.

“Stop it!” Unexpectedly, another voice came from outside the door. Before Ruth could react, a strong hand grabbed Ruth’s wrist. It was so painful that Ruth almost cried. “Let go of me!”

However, when she saw that it was Ethan, her pupils constricted and a trace of fear appeared on her face.

Ethan flung her away coldly and shouted, “Enough! You’ve caused so much trouble in this family. Your son is right. If you dare to find trouble with your daughter again, I’ll kill you today and then commit suicide!“.

Ruth looked up and saw Ethan’s scarlet eyes. She could not help but be afraid.

She thought, ‘This damn old man’s gaze is so terrifying.

Clark, who was at the side, was also terrified. He tried to smooth things over and said, “Ethan, don’t say such impulsive words…” He was frightened by him as well.

The moment he spoke, Ethan looked at him viciously. “Shut up. If you talk too

much, I’ll kill you too!”

Clark felt speechless.
