Quinn pursed her lips.
“The servants you hired aren’t well-trained. They spend all day catering to Chance. If this continues, Chance will become a spoiled kid…”
Eric interrupted her, “So, you’d rather them ignore Chance and let him fend for himself? Just like how you threw me abroad to live on my own back then?”
Quinn choked.
“That’s not what I mean. I just want to change a group of servants. I’ll take care of Chance myself.”
Eric pursed his lips. A sharpness flashed across his eyes, and his voice was cold.
“It’s a tiring chore to take care of children, so forget it. Let the servants take care of him. You can just rest.”
Quinn’s face was glum.
“I won’t feel tired taking care of my own grandson. Are you afraid that I can’t take care of him well?”
Eric looked at her silently for a few seconds. His voice was a little cold.
“Mom, the servants are taking good care of Chance, and he gets along well with them. They’re all professional nannies and childhood education specialists.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to go upstairs.
However, Quinn became upset because of what he said.
“Professional? You obviously don’t believe me! You still hate me because of that b*tch Nicole, don’t you? Not just me. You also hate your sister! We’re your family. Look at our family now. Who else do we have? The whole of Atlanta is laughing at the Ferguson family, at us! Don’t you care about our family’s reputation?”
Eric’s face was cold. He loosened the collar of his shirt indifferently.
His dark eyes were glum and icy.
“Our family’s reputation? You’ve thrown our family’s reputation into the gutter, yet you want me to care now?”
Quinn’s expression changed as she stood there in shock.
“You… You’re finally admitting it, huh?”
“I’ve never lied to you. If you two didn’t try to harm Nicole again and again, the Ferguson family wouldn’t have fallen apart, and I wouldn’t have lost her...”
Eric’s voice was frigid, and it made Quinn tremble.
At this moment, Quinn could not regain her composure. She was shocked and unreconciled as she vented out her anger.
“You’re doing all this just because of a woman. You gave up on your own mother and sister because of that b*tch! You ingrate! I raised you for nothing!”
Quinn suddenly picked up the cup on the table and threw it at him.
She thought Eric would dodge it, but he did not.
He stood there, straight as a pine tree, as his forehead bled from the impact. He looked at her motionlessly.
His falcon-like eyes were sharp without the slightest hint of warmth. It was filled with disappointment, loneliness, and indifference.
Quinn was taken aback by his reaction.
However, it was too late to realize that she had been too emotional.
She subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to see his wound, but Eric did not give her a chance to get close to him.
Eric coldly took a step back.
His tone was cold.
“You gave birth to me, but you didn’t raise me. I only brought you back because you gave birth to me. If you’re upset about it, you can leave or go to my dad’s place.”
Quinn’s face turned pale in an instant.
“You...”
Quinn had been separated from Charles for so long. Charles used to spend a lot of time fooling around with other women, so how could she willingly take care of him now that he was disabled?
“Are you threatening me?”
Quinn was livid.
