The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 124

News of Parker causing a scene at the office quickly reached Bridget Quincy's ears.

Kicking desks, smashing things, throwing a massive tantrum, and throwing his weight around.

Flexing his authority as the Quincy heir right in front of the staff.

What a perfect son she had raised.

Bridget dispatched two security guards to drag Parker into her office.

The moment he crossed the threshold, before Bridget could even speak, Parker launched into a relentless tirade.

"Mom! Look at this, Cassidy is cheating!"

"She's hooking up with guys right here in the office! I don't know who the bastard is, but when I find him, I'm going to make them both pay!"

"And her secretary is suspicious too! He doesn't even do actual secretary work! He completely disrespects me! Why couldn't she hire a woman? There's definitely something going on..."

Bridget didn't even glance down at the supposed "evidence" of Cassidy's infidelity that Parker had slapped onto her desk.

Her unwavering gaze remained fixed on her son.

This was her only child.

From a young age, Bridget had placed impossibly high expectations on Parker. She provided the best educational resources, adhered to strict disciplinary philosophies, and meticulously mapped out goals for every stage of his life.

But a child is an independent individual with the right to make their own choices. They can never perfectly mold themselves into their parents' ideal vision.

Even so, Bridget had always believed that, even if Parker didn't turn out to be a brilliant success, her massive investment of time and resources would at least produce a kind, honest, and hardworking man.

The reality was the exact opposite.

Parker was ignorant, arrogant, and a pathological liar.

She only discovered the truth later. While Bridget was swamped with running the empire, she had left Harrison to oversee Parker's upbringing. Harrison had promised to follow her strict regimen, but in reality, he sneaked out every day to drink and gamble with his deadbeat friends.

Parker had simply followed his father's example.

When she found out, Bridget had furiously berated them both.

Harrison had shrugged it off, claiming that boys will be boys and he'd mature eventually.

He had even secretly comforted Parker, telling him: *It doesn't matter if you fail school. Your mom is here. She can fix anything.*

Watching her son become increasingly useless, Bridget had considered having another child to try again.

But pregnancy would disrupt her work. She despised Harrison and refused to sleep with him, and IVF took a severe toll on the body. More importantly, she feared that even if she started over, she might still fail to raise a good kid.

One thing led to another, and the idea was permanently shelved.
