Sleeping together as three! And Robert was so cheerful about it! When Arthur heard those words, he finally lost control. "Chloe!" His voice thundered across the space, startling even the business representatives standing behind him. "What kind of inappropriate talk is this in front of a child?" "None of your business!" "None of your business!" Robert and Melinda responded almost in unison, glaring at Arthur with unconcealed disdain. Hearing Robert speak to him that way left Arthur completely stunned. It was one thing for that pretty boy to insult him, but his own son? How had Robert learned to behave like this? How could he address his own father with such disrespect? "Robert, how can you speak like that? What have they been teaching you?" Arthur put on a stern expression. "You may be academically gifted, but such rudeness is unacceptable. When you return to the Myers family, I'll arrange for professional tutors to guide you properly." "Cut it out! You should be ashamed of yourself—I'm embarrassed for you! Who do you think you are?" Robert tilted his head defiantly. "Why are you always hanging around? If you love attention so much, go star in some low-budget web series!" "You..." "I'm Robert Lewis. And who are you, exactly?" Robert snorted and reached for Chloe and Melinda's hands. "Mommy, let's go with Leland! We're having a sleepover tonight!" "Alright," Chloe replied gently, taking Robert's hand as they prepared to leave with Melinda. Zachary had brought Robert over—they'd originally planned to find somewhere else to spend time together, but then they'd run into Arthur, that walking bad omen. The cheerful mood was completely ruined. Just as Chloe was leading Robert away, Arthur spoke again, "Chloe, as the child's mother, haven't you considered how an adult's behavior can influence a child? It could affect him for life." Hearing this, Chloe stopped in her tracks.Robert, who had been walking ahead, also paused when she did. "Mommy?" Even Melinda stopped, her expression turning serious. It was clear that if Arthur took one more step forward, she wouldn't hesitate to throw him out physically. Chloe turned and looked at Arthur, a sudden smile appearing on her calm face. "Arthur, aren't you the one being hypocritical here? Are you talking about yourself?" "I..." "If you have an ounce of dignity left, cut the cheap talk—and drop that self-righteous act. To me, you're less than nothing. Even if you dropped dead this second, it wouldn't faze me in the slightest. You're nothing but a sad joke." With that, she laced her fingers through Robert's and strode away, never glancing back. Melinda shot Arthur a cold glance. "If you pull a stunt like this again, I'll let you taste my fists." After Melinda left, Zachary stepped forward gracefully. As he passed Arthur, he deliberately slowed his pace. "Mr. Myers, I'm a bit short on cash lately. I'd be more than happy to take on a lawsuit and earn some extra income." He raised an eyebrow at Arthur before walking away with an air of indifference. Arthur stood frozen, engulfed in rage. He had never been so humiliated in his life. Even his own child was mocking him like this. Was it really all his own fault in the end? Chloe... What would it take for her to change her attitude toward him? "Mr. Myers?" The business partners stood awkwardly, unsure how to react after everyone had left. "Get out!" Arthur snapped coldly, his irritation boiling over. "Excuse me?" The partners stared in disbelief. Arthur had invited them here politely for dinner, and now he was telling them to leave? The meal hadn't even started—did this mean the partnership was off? All Arthur could think about was that pretty boy standing beside Chloe. His anger surged, and he desperately needed an outlet. When he finally regained his senses and realized he had just shouted at the partners in a fit of rage, he immediately regretted it."I apologize. I lost my temper just now," Arthur said, bowing slightly in a sincere gesture of apology. The partners, who had been ready to walk out, held back their anger when they saw how earnest he seemed. They had been watching the scene unfold and had more or less pieced together the relationships. Arthur's personal life was... complicated. Was that woman his ex-wife? And the child was theirs? To be mocked like that by his own son... How pathetic. Still, they had to admit—his private affairs were truly messy.
