Chapter 108

Sharon’s voice was cold. “That depends on what he’s done.”

Carter’s tone grew heavy. “No matter what he’s done wrong, he’s still your son. Sharon… are you really going to stop acknowledging him?”

“The one who doesn’t want to acknowledge me-is him.” Her face was blank. “To him, I’m just an embarrassing mother. Maybe he’s better off without me.”

“So you’re really going to keep that scheming boy by your side?”
