Ethan Herd bitterly smiled: "Mum, do you find it amusing to tease your own son like this?"
Mrs. Herd nodded: "Yes, of course it's fun. This is the only time I can treat you like this. When I'm better, you won't obey me like this anymore."
Ethan sat down, adopting a pose for a heart-to-heart talk with Mrs. Herd.
"Mrs. Herd, can you stop telling lies all the time? Where can you find such a filial and good son like me? Am I not good enough to you usually? When you go out to play cards, I let you lose as you like. If it were someone else's son, they would have driven a wasteful old lady like you away long ago."
Mrs. Herd looked wronged and tugged at Scarlett Glenn's arm: "Scarlett, listen, listen, he's so bad. He's finally revealing his true feelings today. He's been wanting to drive me away for a long time. My son, whom I raised with blood, sweat, and tears, turns out like this. This kind of man is so scum. Scarlett, don't marry him either."
