Chapter 281
Talia''s weeping turned into sobbing at her husband''s admonishment.
After bawling for quite a while, Talia shot a re at Toby. “Now, it''s my fault for not teaching our son
well? What were you doing back then? All you ever did was earn money. You either didn''te back at
night or went on business trips every day. You left Dn all to me. Aren''t you aware of his character?
Do you think I can control him?”
“I only did it because I needed to support this family. You didn''t have a job, and if I didn''t work hard
under that circumstance, who was going to put food on the table for you and Dn?” Toby retorted.
I''ve spent all these years working so hard for this family. I never thought my devotion would be the root
of her frustration. How can I not be angry at her ingratitude?
His parents'' quarrel had woken Dn up.
Looking at the irk in his parents'' eyes and their defensive stances that were close to getting them into a
physical fight, Dn felt his headache throb painfully.
“All right. Stop fighting! Can''t you let me get some rest?” Dn said vexedly.
I have never had a memory of my parents not fighting ever since I can perceive my surroundings. Their
fights would sometimes be minor such as smashing a vase. asionally, they would turn violet till
parts of our home were destroyed. At times, they even attacked each other. Moreover, as they grew
older, not only did their fights not lessen, but they even seemed to get worse. That was one of the
reasons why I rather hang out with delinquents than go home. Who would want to listen to their parents
fight the minute they get home?
“Are you okay, Dn? How did you get hurt again? I warned you multiple times not to cause trouble.
Look at yourself! You''re already this badly hurt, and it hadn''t even been that long since you were
released. Do you know the pain I feel, looking at you getting hurt?” Talia began wiping the tears
streaking down her cheek as she spoke.
Toby merely sighed and red at Dn with a disappointed look. He wanted nothing more than to
smack Dn to death so that his son could stop causing trouble for him and society.
However, he shook his head to dash out his thoughts. I can only think about doing that and not actually
hitting him in real life. I can''t just leave him to fend for himself.
Talia''s crying was aggravating Dn. “Enough, Mom! I won''t get into another fight again. Stop crying!”
he eximed.
Dissatisfaction and ruthlessness filled his eyes as he recalled Cayden''s vicious punches.
I''ll make sure to make Cayden pay for what he did sooner orter. I''ve never been beaten to such a
wretched state before. I was the one calling the shots even when in prison. It has always been me at
the end of bullying and not the other way around.
“Tell me truthfully, Dn. Which b*stard hurt you? I''ll definitely seek justice for you!” Talia promised
harshly.
Dn hadn''t wanted to tell them the truth because he didn''t want them worried.
However, an idea came to Dn''s mind at the thought of Cayden''s rtionship with his family. “Who
else? It''s none other than Cayden. Mom, you have no idea how shameless Cayden can be. Avery is
my wife, but he''s staked his im on her. Not only did he cuckold me, but I couldn''t even do what a
husband does with his wife. I just wanted to sleep with my wife, yet Cayden crashed through the door
and carried her away. He even pounded me to this extent. Have you ever seen a more shameless
cousin like him?”
“What? Cayden punched you? No way! Even though he usually keeps to himself, I know him to be
mature and well-mannered. Is there a misunderstanding?” Toby didn''t believe Dn''s usations and
started to defend Cayden.
Even though my sister is not reliable, Cayden is an excellent child. I don''t believe he will do something
that absurd.
Anger rolled through Dn at Toby''s words. “Am I your son, or is Cayden your son? Do you trust him
so much? How can I lie to you when he''s injured me to such a sorry state? Didn''t you see it for
yourself? His rtionship with Avery is ambiguous. I won''t say anything if Avery and I are divorced, but
the point is, we''re not even divorced yet, and she''s already cheated on me with Cayden! Dad, why
don''t you ask Aunt Allie to keep Cayden in check? I''m sure you won''t want Cayden to be the father to
your grandchildren. Am I right?”
Talia continued to wipe her tears away. The rims of her eyes were red from crying too much. “See? Like
mother, like son! Not only is your sister unreasonable, but even your nephew is a yer! With his
identity and status, he could have had any woman he wanted. Yet, he chose to get entangled with his
cousin-inw. This is immoral! You and the whole Musk family are the same! I must have been jinxed
to marry into such a family.”
Talia had always looked down on her vain sister-inw. However, it was a fact that Allie had only
managed to squeeze herself into a wealthy family through her own vixen tendencies and became the
mistress of the Moore family.
Even though Allie''s name had been ndered, she had a capable son.
Hence, Allie currently led a pampered life.
Talia despised and scorned women like Allie, yet she couldn''t help but admit she was slightly envious
of thetter.
She was envious that a woman like Allie could be the mistress of a wealthy family and have an
outstanding son. On top of that, Allie also had two obedient grandchildren.

Yet, that loathsome sister-inw''s perfect son finally had a w. He fell in love with a married woman.
This gave Talia an excuse to attack Allie.
No matter how outstanding Allie''s son is, he still wants my son''s leftovers.
Toby felt a knot in his chest at his wife''s and son''s remarks. His rage red at the thought of Avery, who
cheated on Dn with Cayden. “Dn, what''s so good about that woman with an easy virtue? She''s a
wh*re! Just divorce her! Why do you insist on staying with her?”
Dn met Toby''s gaze stubbornly. “No matter what kind of person she is, she''s the only wife I''ll have. I
don''t want anyone else. Help me think of a way to make her stay if you want grandchildren. Otherwise,
don''t even think about having a grandchild,” he said with a threatening tone.
“Y-You b*stard!” Toby reached for a pillow within his grasp in anger. He was about to fling it at Dn
when he caught sight of the injuries covering Dn''s body. Instantly, he kept his rage in check and let
out a sigh. “Call Allie to the hospital. I''ll have her discipline her son!”
The phone on the desk rang, cutting through the silence. Cayden stubbed his cigarette against the
ashtray before he took the call.
“Hello?”
“How are you, Mr. Moore? What made you remember your old friend?” The voice that came from the
other end was pleasant. It was an indistinguishable voice.
Cayden got up from his chair and stood by the window wall in his office. As his gaze overlooked the
massive city, the corners of his lips quirked into a grin. “There''s someone I want from you, Mr. Gibson.
My woman''s friend is in your brother''s hands. Consider this a favor from me. The next dinner will be on
me.”
The other end paused briefly. With a casual toneced with a tad of curiosity, Mr. Gibson asked, “Your
woman? Since when did Mr. Moore have a woman?”
Cayden chuckled. “My kitten is under duresstely. She has quite a temper on her. I''ll bring her out
after I''ve tamed her.”
Silence followed as though Mr. Gibson didn''t know what to make of Cayden''s answer.
Soon, a burst ofughter filled Cayden''s ear. “That''ll do. I''ll give Aaron a call.”
The call disconnected after that.
Cayden''s gentle gaze was focused on the traffic outside the window. There was a tinge of coolness in
the slight curve of his lips.
My kitten has gotten angry. How should I coax her?
