Chapter 220

+25 Bonus

Ever since Khloe took part in raising Pete, the boy had remained fiercely rebellious. At first, Khloe had tried to reason with him patiently, but Pete was unruly and never truly accepted discipline.

Once, when Trey saw Khloe impose strict punishment on Pete, he had stepped in to defend the child, telling her he was still young…

Now, it seemed Khloe had been right all along.

A child’s temperament mirrored the adults around him. Pete was stubborn like himself and, like Angela, inclined to ignore rules.

How many times had he said that the toy gun was not to be played with when others were around? Yet every time, Pete did the same thing again.

Trey took Pete’s small hand and spoke sternly. “Has Daddy ever told you that you’re not allowed to play with toy guns in the room? That you can’t point them at people?”

“Yes…” Pete answered in a small voice. Sensing the chill in Trey’s demeanor, he immediately tried to pull away and escape.

But Trey held him fast. “Since you know better but refuse to change, should you be punished?”

Pete’s eyes darted around before he quickly turned to Angela, panicked, silently pleading for help.

Angela stepped forward at once. “All right, all right. Just promise Daddy you won’t do it again.”

Her tone was casual as she spoke, already reaching to take Pete away.

“It’s because you always indulge him like this that he dares to be so willful.”

Trey gave Angela no chance to intervene. As soon as he finished speaking, he firmly grabbed Pete’s arm and slapped his palm.

Pete had never been treated so harshly by Trey before. Terrified-and with Trey’s strength behind the blow-he burst into tears immediately.

“Why are you hitting Pete?!” Seeing her son cry, Angela’s heart ached. She rushed forward, trying to snatch him away from Trey.

Instead, Trey grew angrier. He scooped Pete up horizontally, strode to the sofa, pressed him down, and smacked his backside hard.

“Mommy! Mommy! Help! Help!!!”

Pete wailed, crying his lungs out as he screamed for Angela.

Angela panicked and wrapped her arms around Trey from behind, using all her strength to stop him. “Trey! What’s gotten into you today? Don’t take your anger out on Pete! Is something this small really worth beating him to death?”

Only after several blows did Trey’s anger finally subside. He let go, and Angela immediately rushed to cradle Pete in her arms.

“Pete, don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy’s here. It’s all right…”

Watching the way Angela indulged Pete left Trey speechless.

His mother was right. With Angela like this, how could she ever raise a child properly?

If anything, Pete might actually have a future only if he stayed by Khloe’s side.

Irritated, Trey tugged off his bow tie and went straight to take a shower.

Fury still burned inside him. He turned the water to ice-cold and stayed under it until he began to shiver, then hurried out.

When Trey emerged from the bathroom, Angela was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

After comforting Pete for a while, she had already handed him over to the servants and sent him back to his room to sleep.

But Angela’s anger had not dissipated.

Trey didn’t want to talk to her. He changed his clothes and was about to leave.
