Chapter 514 Uncertainty

A loud sound erupted as the tea tray hit the floor. The teacups shattered and it startled the servants both upstairs and downstairs.

They looked on in shock as William grabbed Vanessa by the neck and pressed her against the wall. Their expressions were fully alarmed.

They were clueless about the recent conflict between the stepmother and stepson. All they saw was the fury etched on William’s face.

William said slowly, “Try me.”

Vanessa struggled to breathe but managed to force a smile. “I’ve heard a saying that women are weak, but mothers are strong. There’s truth to that. If anyone harms my daughter, I’ll have to retaliate in kind. I… I’m just returning the favor!”

For years, she had tried to play the role of a benevolent mother, but with Henry on the brink of death, she finally revealed her true nature.

William met her gaze with a cold indifference. For the first time, he saw how scheming and cunning Vanessa truly was.
