Skyler knew that if he upset Joshua even a fraction, the man wouldn't care that he was Stella's father—he would simply pull the trigger.
After all, Aurora was the one who had labeled him a psychopath.
From now on, Joshua could resort to violence without a second thought.
All he had to do was blame his supposed mental illness. He didn't even have to waste a single brain cell coming up with an excuse.
Aurora had truly handed him the ultimate excuse to attack at will.
Stella murmured her agreement, and just as they were turning to leave, a panicked servant rushed into the hall.
"Mr. Williams, this is bad! The Burtons are here!"
Skyler frowned deeply. "The Burtons? Which ones?"
The servant panted, "It's Queenie Burton's parents... They just found out she's critically injured and in a coma, and they've come to demand an explanation.
They're her parents, we couldn't stop them..."
Before he could even finish, the chaotic sound of marching footsteps echoed from outside the entrance.
Moments later, a massive, furious crowd stormed into the hall.
"Skyler Williams! We heard our daughter Queenie was beaten into a coma!
You are going to give us an explanation today!
If you don't, we'll expose how your family brutalizes women. We'll make sure everyone in the city knows exactly what kind of monsters you are!
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree—there's not a single decent person in this entire family!
Hmph, now I finally understand why Nora gave up her position as Mrs. Williams to live as a commoner just to escape this hellhole.
You pretentious, hypocritical bastard—you're nothing but a domestic abuser!"
Seeing the Burtons force their way in, Stella's eyes darkened slightly.
Finally.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
