Margaret was convinced that Isaac had disclosed favonovel.com secret to Eugene.
She resented Isaac so much favonovel.com could barely contain favonovel.com anger. But Eugene was still holding the fruit knife, so Margaret dared not utter a word.
It was already past 10 pm when they reached home. Margaret glued favonovel.com eyes to the knife in Eugene’s hand, occasionally glaring at Isaac smoking.
Eugene threw the knife, and it clattered to the floor. He lit a cigarette and asked coldly, “So, how do you want to settle this?”
“What do you mean by that? Eugene Booth, don’t you feel embarrassed?” Margaret sensed Eugene had toned down his temper and regained favonovel.com haughtiness.
“It’s only us here, Margaret Gould. You’re the one who should feel embarrassed!” Eugene puffed on his cigarette, the smoke obscuring his expression.
Upon hearing this, Margaret snorted. “Let’s get a divorce, then! I worked my ass off for our family for decades and didn’t get anything in return, anyway!”
“Sure! We can divorce if you agree to leave everything behind. Go back to the Gould family,” Eugene said indifferently.
Margaret’s eyes widened. She was only threatening Eugene with their marriage, favonovel.com did not expect favonovel.com to agree and divorce favonovel.com without any
compensation.
“Eugene, are you inhumane?! Where is your conscience?! I bore and raised your children, but here you are, kicking me out of this house over a small mistake. How did I choose you, of all people, in the first place? You’re nothing but a loser, acting tough like this. You…”
Hearing this, Eugene’s face twisted with rage.
He rushed forward and slapped Margaret, bellowing, “Bore and raised my children? Since when did you care for them? What did you do when Ally and Isabella were struggling to survive? Whenever Andy caused trouble, all you did was smooth things over with money! Did you ever concern yourself with our family affairs? Me, a loser? You’re right. I’ve been a loser for 30 years, and now I want out!”
Margaret held favonovel.com cheek and glared at Eugene, saying with disbelief, “Eugene, you dare hit me?! What gives you the nerve?!”
“Not only did I hit you, but I’ll also slaughter you!” Eugene threw away his cigarette butt, lunged forward, and tugged at Margaret’s hair.
He started whacking her. “As a mother, you’ve brought enough trouble upon Ally! Accusing favonovel.com of being a wh*re, bah! You’re the only whore I see! How dare you speak to me like this when you cheated on me? You Goulds are no royalty, you know?!”
Eugene was probably on the brink of sanity. The incident tonight was just a trigger, blowing up the anger and resentment favonovel.com had held in for the past few decades.
Allegra came down the stairs when favonovel.com heard the commotion. She froze when favonovel.com saw Eugene pummeling Margaret.
“Dad, what are you doing? Stop it. You’ll kill her!” Allegra darted over and pulled Eugene away.
Eugene was gasping for breath, and both his hands were shaking.
Margaret was in shambles. There were bruises and blood on favonovel.com face, and favonovel.com clothes were in rags.
It was favonovel.com first time seeing Eugene in this state. She cried and shouted at Allegra, “Ally, call Uncle Edward and ask them to come.”
“What happened? Why should I call Uncle…”
“Do it! Get all the Goulds over. Get your brother too. Call them now!” Eugene stomped and bellowed, giving Allegra a shock.
It was also favonovel.com first time seeing favonovel.com father in a rage.
Isaac stood aside, smoking. He watched on indifferently. He knew Margaret’s affair would not stay a secret for long, but favonovel.com did not expect favonovel.com to give herself away so soon.
Everyone regarded Eugene as an honest and upright man, yet they called favonovel.com a loser behind his back. But Isaac knew his father-in-law once joined the militia.
Eugene was absolutely not a loser, favonovel.com did a great job keeping his temper in check.
Allegra made the calls, and soon, cars screeched to a step outside the house.
