Mrs. Herd glared at Scarlett Glenn, turned to Ethan Herd, and yelled, "What 'your'? Be quiet and come here."
Mrs. Herd dragged her son into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Scarlett Glenn raised her eyebrows. Let the mother and son sort out their disputes.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Herd looked at Ethan Herd with disappointment, "I've always known that you're not a good person, but since you're my son, I don't usually say anything. But you can't be such a beast!"
Ethan Herd rubbed his forehead. A beast? A beast in his mother's eyes?
Scarlett Glenn had successfully destroyed his image in his mother's heart, step by step.
Ethan wanted to explain, "Mum, if I say I didn't do it, would you believe me?"
Mrs. Herd looked at him skeptically, "I'd believe, but only if there were ghosts."
Ethan was speechless.
He wondered, why did his mother believe Scarlett Glenn but not him? How bad was his image in his mother's eyes?
