Faux Vows, True Desires

However, if they picked on his mom, he'd get back at them by making their kids' lives in the company hell. He'd set them up and watch them fall into the trap, and finally, they'd have no choice but to come begging him for help.

Because of how often this happened, they stopped openly messing with his mom. But they just couldn't help themselves and loved to stir the pot, trying to turn Grace against their mom.

Lucinda was furious when she heard all this.

"Are they even human? How could they treat Janice like this? They're supposed to be family!"

Ethan responded coldly: "They're just green-eyed monsters because my mom is the wife of the Blue family heir. Even though my mom has lost her mind, she's still the wife of the Blue family heir. In Skywatch, the wife of the Blue family heir is highly respected, no matter where she goes."

But his mom was a classy woman who didn't abuse her power.

"There's a chance their marriage isn't as rosy as people think. My dad's brothers all have a bunch of side chicks, and my dad, well, he only has Madeleine."

Lucinda's face changed, "He cheated?"

Ethan was silent momentarily before saying, "My mom has been out of her mind for years. He's the Blue family heir and has to attend many social events. He said he needed a companion, and Madeleine happened to be pursuing him, so he accepted."

"Accepting another woman while still married, he's a real piece of work! Is Janice scared of nap time because someone's been taking advantage of her? Doesn't she have security cameras at home? Hasn't anyone noticed this?"

"There are security cameras, but they're always 'breaking'."

Ethan gave a bitter smile, his anger rising.

He knew exactly who was messing with the cameras.

And he didn't even bother defending his dad when Lucinda criticized him. In his eyes, his dad's actions were more and more disappointing.

Ever since he could remember, his dad had been really hard on him. He also resented his dad for not protecting his mom. The father-son relationship was going downhill, especially after Madeleine came into the picture.

He thought that Nathan's wife would probably be Madeleine by now if his mom didn't have him, if he weren't the next Blue family heir.

That woman was hell-bent on getting that status.
