Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 663

Scenes like this were normal in the Voss family. Tiffany had seen them so often that she had grown numb. She could not stop it.

At first, she would rush forward without thinking and shield Mabel. Somewhere along the way, that changed. Maybe she had come to understand that the conflict between those two had never been about her. It had always been about their precious son.

Stanley could not swallow words like that. He lunged forward, raised his hand to strike Mabel, and spat curses as he shouted, "That little bastard turned out like this because you spoiled him! Mabel, marrying you was the worst luck of my life!

"You handed over that much money to pay his debts just like that? You filthy bitch. I didn't even have the right to know?"

By the end, the abuse turned vile. Tiffany had heard words like this countless times. Even so, her hand tightened without her noticing.

She could not tell whether the shame came from the scene they were making in the hospital, or from how pitiful Mabel looked.

The one who rushed forward to stop Stanley was Tyler. He grabbed his father's arm and cried out with apparent sincerity, "Dad. Dad, don't hit Mom. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong..."

Tears spilled down his face.

Tiffany felt nothing. Two words crossed her mind: crocodile tears.

The act worked on Stanley. Tyler was his only son.

Stanley's hand paused. He glared at Tyler in frustration, then turned and pointed at Tiffany. "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. If you dare use that payment as an excuse not to support me in old age, I'll sue you. I'll make sure everyone at your law firm and every one of your clients knows what an ungrateful, cold-blooded person you are."
