Chapter 211

“Are you threatening me?” Eric had lived for most of his life and had never encountered anyone daring enough to threaten him!

Moira felt being wronged. “How am I threatening you? Isn’t trust the most important thing between husband and wife? He will surely ask me what you said if he replaces out about your visit today. Then, I will tell him everything.”

Moira paused for a moment before adding, “Or is it that you and your wife always keep secrets from each other?”

That nearly drove Eric crazy. Even his assistant beside him wanted to scold Moira.

At that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance.

Everyone in the living room instinctively turned to look, and Barclay, dressed in a black suit, appeared before them with a stern face.

Seeing Barclay, Moira immediately walked over. “You came back at just the right time! Your dad said I threatened him!”

Seriously, how could she threaten him?

Eric was stunned, and his assistant also remained silent.

This young lady sure said things recklessly.

Barclay glanced at Moira and noticed a hint of excitement in her eyes. She didn’t seem aggrieved. He finally felt relieved after being on edge the whole way home.

He gently pulled her behind him, standing before her to shield her from Eric’s piercing gaze. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

Moira peeked from behind Barclay, placed her hand on his arm, and whispered, “Thank goodness you’re back. Otherwise, I might have ended up infuriating your dad.”

“It’s okay,” Barclay comforted her.

To Eric, their actions appeared “intimate,” and his face contorted with rage. “Do you still see me as your father?”

Barclay asked coldly, “Do you still see me as your son?”

Eric scolded, “You ungrateful brat!”

Eric wanted to smash things when he was angry. He was infuriated by Barclay and Moira. He subconsciously wanted to grab something from the coffee table and throw it, but Barclay looked at him expressionlessly. “This is my mother’s house, and everything in here belongs to her, me, and my wife. You have no right to touch them.”

He added, “Furthermore, I don’t think my mother would want you to set foot on her property. Please leave, and if you have anything to discuss, contact me directly. There’s no need to involve her.”

Barclay paused and continued, “Only I have authority over her.”

After hearing this, Moira nodded repeatedly from behind Barclay. “Yes, I listen only to him!”

“You!” Eric was shaking with anger. His assistant quickly stepped forward to calm him down. “Mr. Eric, please calm down!”

The assistant then looked at Barclay. “Mr. Barclay, Mr. Eric is your father after all. Don’t anger him for the sake of an outsider. Your mother wouldn’t like it.”

Barclay retorted, “What right do you have to speak in my house? If my mother were here, she wouldn’t allow you to come here and bully my wife time and time again!”

Eric shouted, “Fine! From tomorrow, step down from the position of chairman. I don’t have a son like you!”

Barclay said, “Your words don’t carry any weight.”

Eric replied furiously, “I will convene a shareholder meeting tomorrow! I doubt you can sit in this position for a few minutes without my support! Let’s go, we’re leaving!”

Eric left, leaving behind nothing but anger.

Moira watched Eric leave, her gaze falling on his trembling hand holding the cane. She couldn’t help feeling a bit scared and lightly tugged on Barclay’s clothes. “Are we going too far? I saw your dad’s hand shaking.”

Hearing her words, Barclay’s eyes flashed with an indiscernible emotion. He looked at her. “Don’t worry, he’s perfectly fine.”

Moira looked at Barclay and wanted to say that he also seemed worried about his dad. Why let things escalate between father and son?

But then she realized she was just a contract wife, so what was the point of saying that?
