Chapter 16: Abused
Amora wasn't too keen to tell her son about that, so she changed the topic in order for him to go back immediately.He was playing with his drone in the windy weather.
Even though it wasn't dangerous, she was worried he might catch a cold.
However, lan refused to listen to her.After seeing that Amora wasn't answering his question, he turned around and walked away.
"None of your business! You, go and grab some more batteries for me."
"lan..."The bodyguard was perplexed for a moment.
Amora became anxious.
Just when she was about to advise him again, a figure appeared at the deck and stormed over to the boy.
"lan, you've been playing for a very long time.You should go back inside.Otherwise, your dad is going to scold you!"
Amora glanced over immediately and saw a beautiful young woman in an expensive dress.
Hallie? So she's on this boat too? Amora was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses upon thinking about the woman's relationship with that scum.
Hallie walked over when she saw lan still playing with his toy. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Her hands started patting all over his body impatiently.
"lan, look at you.Your clothes are all wet and your hands are freezing.Didn't I tell you earlier not to come out and play? What if you get sick again? Don't you know how weak your body is? Quick, pack
up your things and go in!"
Even so, her words fell on deaf ears.
lan ignored her and continued to play with his drone instead.
"lan! Why are you so disobedient? Do you want to be hit again? Put it down right now!" No one saw it coming.
When her scolding fell on deaf ears, Hallie pinched hard on the boy's arm and snatched the controller from his hands.
Amora's eyes were filled with raging blood! lan was a very stubborn child.
Unlike Matteo, he was physically weak from birth.
The lack of motherly love resulted in his antisocial and obstinate personality.
Most of the time, talking and weighing the consequences with him would work better than to force him against his will.
Amora stood at the window and watched as Hallie snatched the controller from lan.
Paled-face from the cold, he held on his toy with dear life.
Right at that moment, Hallie simply twisted his little hands and Amora saw, from a distance, that her son's fingers were all bruised by the impact! What a worthless b*tch! Amora yelled in anger, "Hallie, what are you doing? You nasty woman, get your hands off him immediately! Stay away from him!"
Hallie, who was still wrestling with the child, suddenly turned pale.
D*mn it! She was overly eager to teach the child a lesson, and she had forgotten that Amora was watching them from the cabin.
What should I do? Since the latter saw everything, what would happen if she went and told Kane? lan meant the world to him.
If he was adamant that it was her fault, Kane would not let go of things easily.
Hallie loosened her grip instantly.
A panic-stricken expression flashed across her face like never before.
"This is how you've been treating lan for the past five years? Why are you so heartless, Hallie? Even if he's not your own child, he's still Kane's son.Since you're married to him, can't you treat him better? He is only five years old!"
"Ms.Rory, what are you talking about? Did I do something wrong? I just came over here to tell him to hurry back because I'm worried he might catch a cold."
Unexpectedly, that conniving woman became calm and collected in just a few seconds while she stared at Amora without a flinch.
"Do you think I'm blind? I saw everything clearly just now.Not only did you pry his fingers, you pinched him too.That bodyguard witnessed what you did, too.Are you still trying to weasel your way out?"
What horrified her was Hallie approached the bodyguard with a provocative smile after she heard Amora's words.
"Did you see anything?"
Beads of cold sweat covered the bodyguard's forehead; his face filled with a great deal of tension and fear.
"No...No, I saw nothing,’’ he stammered "Ah, you heard that, too.He said no.Ms.Rory, you are accusing me of something I haven't done.Perhaps, you're trying to reclaim your position as the lady of the Ronin’ by slandering me? You can stop dreaming because I'm Kane's woman now!"
Amora wished she could break the door down and slap the woman until her face was unrecognizable.
Not only was Hallie distorting the truth, she also had the Ronin’ subordinates under her control.
Even if Amora testified against her, no one would believe her words.
