The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 363

Sheldon and the other two kids seemed frozen in place, cowed by Marvin's fierce presence.

Even Keen stood there, staring at Marvin in a daze.

Afraid of upsetting his mother, he'd kept it all to himself and told only his grandmother. But his grandmother had said it was all his mom's fault. If he didn't have such an embarrassing mother, those boys wouldn't pick on him.

Keen's protests stuck in his throat. Before he could say a word, Sheldon, eyes blazing red with humiliation, lunged at Marvin.
