Loving Mom 364

Chapter 364

Mr. Cosgrove froze for a moment, then quickly adjusted, bowing his head toward Sharon.

“Sharon… I sincerely apologize. This was entirely our fault. We shouldn’t have bullied your son… and we definitely shouldn’t have laid a hand on Matty.”

By now, it was clear to him-Xavier and his son weren’t actually that angry over Bob’s behavior. What they were truly furious about… was the humiliation Sharon had suffered.

But… wasn’t this woman supposed to be Carter’s wife? Why would Xavier and his son stand up for her?

Questions burned in his mind, but Mr. Cosgrove wasn’t foolish enough to ask them out loud.

His gaze slid toward his wife, who still stood frozen in place. Rage surged in his chest. Without warning, he slapped her again.

“What are you waiting for? Get on your knees and apologize to Sharon!” he barked.

If it hadn’t been for this useless wife of his failing to manage their son and flaunting her arrogance right in Sharon’s face, how the hell would they have ended up offending both Carter and Xavier?

Mrs. Cosgrove trembled. Pride burned in her throat, but survival instincts won. She wasn’t stupid. If she didn’t lower her head now, their company was finished.

The thought of losing her status, her cushy life as a socialite, was more terrifying than death itself.

No matter how vicious she’d been moments ago, now she was equally pathetic, her voice shaking.
