The three Sterlings were stunned, their eyes glazing over.
Who could have imagined Hayden's temper would be so terrible that day? It was as if he was a stick of dynamite ready to blow up at any moment.
They had no idea that Hayden simply wanted to see Christina.
"How… How can you speak to Mom like that? Don't you have a conscience? She's your mother! Is it wrong for her to love and care for you?" Anna countered with a look of shock and disbelief.
She shook her head, feeling a strong sense of unease toward Hayden. It seemed like he was about to strike someone at any moment.
Anna was saddened and deeply disappointed.
"Hayden, please calm down for a moment. We're telling you the truth. It's all for your own good. I hope you can believe us and stop being so arrogant, alright?" Julia's gaze turned gentle, looking right at Hayden.
There were even tears in her eyes as she said that.
After all, they were doing this for Hayden's sake. They all wished that he would just tone things down and stop provoking Francis. Only then could he truly be safe.
At that moment, Hayden looked at the trio before him coldly and smiled mockingly. No matter how much they tried to persuade him, he would never believe their words, even if they were true.
"I'm begging you, alright? Please stop being so stubborn. As long as you back down, they won't make things difficult for you. I don't want you to be threatened or punished. I just want to be safe and sound!" Charlotte pursed her lips, speaking softly and gently, her eyes filling up with tears.
She appeared pitiful and helpless.
However, Hayden's anger only grew stronger. What was the point of this facade? Had any of the Sterlings ever been sincere with him in the past?
