Chapter 4 - The Protective Man Warns The Arrogant Older Woman
Before the security guards could move closer, a 35-year-old man in a sharp navy blue suit intervened.
He stepped firmly between the matriarch and the little girl, his posture rigid and commanding.
His short dark hair caught the warm light of the crystal fixtures as he locked eyes with his mother.
“Always the same. Enough nonsense, she will remember this,” the man stated in a cold, deadly voice.
The matriarch recoiled slightly, recognizing the unyielding authority in her son’s hardened expression.
“Marcus, how dare you defend this outsider against your own family in public!” she demanded furiously.
Marcus did not blink or break eye contact, shielding his wife and daughter with absolute protective strength.
“Your tyranny in this family ends tonight, Mother; your reign of humiliation is officially over,” Marcus warned.
