Chapter 6 - THE FATHER'S CONFRONTATION
Ethan dropped the broom, walking steadily toward the front door with his jaw clenched in tight anticipation.
He opened the heavy oak door to find his father, Richard Montgomery, standing on the porch wearing a dark pinstripe suit.
Richard’s face was dark with fury, his graying eyebrows drawn together in a menacing, powerful scowl.
"Have you lost your mind, Ethan? Your mother is currently being processed at the county jail!" Richard boomed instantly.
"She threw boiling tea and broken glass toward my wife and baby son, Dad," Ethan countered without stepping back.
"She was emotionally distraught because you refused to bring Liam to the country club luncheon!" Richard shouted back.
"She's a unstable sociopath who belongs in a cell," Ethan stated, his voice ringing out across the pristine suburban lawn.
Richard stepped closer, poking a heavy finger into Ethan's chest with absolute, arrogant authority.
"You listen to me, boy. You drop those charges by five o'clock, or I freeze every corporate account attached to your name," Richard threatened.
