Everyone at the table was stunned because it was the first time someone had been bold enough to scold Malcolm like that.

Feeling upset, Marlene protected Malcolm. However, Noah was younger than him, so it was hard for her to be harsh.

Although Malcolm was an arrogant child, he wasn't dumb at all. He knew Noah was insulting him immediately. "How dare you insult me, you feral boy?" Noah still wanted to add fuel to the fire and said, "Don't be angry. I was just telling the truth. Didn't your teacher teach you how to be polite at school?"

Yvette was speechless, thinking about how she'd told him to keep quiet at the dining table before they'd left the house earlier.

But it wouldn't be nice for an adult to interfere when the kids were arguing. So, she could only signal Noah to stop talking with her eyes.

He purposely avoided her gaze and raised his eyebrows at Malcolm, seemingly provoking the latter.

Malcolm still didn't dare to hit Noah because the latter looked like Zachary. So, he picked up his spoon and threw it at Noah. However, he missed his shot, and it landed on Clifford.

Clifford was infuriated. "Zayden, Marlene, look at your great son! Is this what you've taught him after I told you to lecture him this morning? I think he has eaten enough, and you should get lost with him."

Zayden's and Marlene's faces instantly fell when they got kicked out in front of everybody. Marlene immediately stood up and grabbed Malcolm, saying angrily, "Let's go and stop being an eyesore here." Malcolm didn't want to move at all. "He started it first, Great-Grandpa!"
