Howard saw Grace’s guilty expression and confirmed his suspicion.
“Grace, did you really think that giving birth to Rina would open the doors of the Logan Family for you?” Howard
approached, his gaze piercing and a chilling aura emanating from him.
Terrified, Grace’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly
explained, “Howard, I… I was just joking with Rina. She’s my daughter. How could I ever harm her?”
“Joking?” Howard gritted his teeth, thinking about Rina’s emotional outburst and her sad appearance. He couldn’t control the anger within him.
He reached out and grabbed Grace’s neck. “Do you find this kind of joke funny? Should I play a joke on you too?”
Grace’s face turned red from the lack of air.
“Howard, what… what are you doing?” May rushed out from the house, trying to stop him.
But she didn’t dare to get too close. She feared Howard as well.
Howard forcefully threw Grace aside. “Grace, I’m warning you. If you dare to disturb Rina again, don’t blame me for being impolite to you.”
With those cold words, Howard turned around and left with

Grace collapsed on the ground, shocked and unable to gather herself for a long time.
“Grace, what’s going on? Why did Howard get so angry?” May asked anxiously.
Grace’s eyes turned cold, and her expression twisted.
Through gritted teeth, she said, “It’s all that little bitch’s fault. I threatened her a little, and now she dares to tell Howard.”
“You…” May felt frustrated.
“I told you earlier to treat that little bitch better. She’s your bargaining chip to enter the Logan Family, but you didn’t listen. If Howard tells Amanda about you threatening that bitch, do you think you can still enter the Logan Family?”
Grace realized the situation and panicked. “Mom, what should
I do now?”
May pondered for a moment, then said seriously, “Knowing Howard’s personality, he won’t immediately tell Amanda about you threatening Rina. You should go to Amanda first, confess, and apologize.”
“Are you asking me to confess? Can Amanda forgive me?” Grace exclaimed.
May scolded, “Are you stupid? Do you think you’re foolish enough to tell the truth?”
Grace realized instantly and a cold, sinister smile appeared in her eyes.
After leaving the Brown Family, Howard felt extremely

frustrated. He leaned back in the car seat, forcefully loosening his tie and throwing his suit aside.
“Mr. Logan, Steven sent a message just now, inviting you to the H&S Club. Are you going?” Alex cautiously reported.
“Yes.”
In his troubled state of mind, Howard indeed wanted to find a place to vent.
After having dinner with the two kids, Rina back to her room, while Mia played with Lego in the living room.
Although Sally found ‘Kara’s behavior somewhat strange, she didn’t ask too many questions.
Naturally, she believed that Kara was practicing her acting
skills.
She would give the children enough space.
They said the entertainment industry was a melting pot. But in her home, as long as it was something Kara liked or something she had already decided on, Sally would support it.
Sally finished tidying up and was about to settle down with her laptop to watch some shows when she heard a knock on
the door.
Setting aside her laptop, she went to open the door.
“Jeremy, is there something wrong coming so late?” Sally opened the door, assuming it was Jeremy since he lived next door, and he was returning from his business trip today, so it

naturally seemed like him.
“Howard?”
Seeing Howard standing at the door, Sally was greatly surprised.
Howard raised his eyes, bloodshot, reeking of alcohol. His shirt was half unbuttoned, revealing his well–defined chest muscles.
Hearing the commotion, Mia also put down his Lego and peeked towards the door.
“Sally, it’s all because of you.”
Howard tightly grasped Sally’s arms and pressed her against the wall.
His grip was too strong, and Sally was slammed forcefully against the wall, causing her eyebrows to furrow involuntarily from the pain.
“Mr. Logan, you’ve had too much to drink.”
“Sally, you, why did you come back after leaving? Why did you come back? Do you want to harm me? Is it not enough that you’ve harmed my daughter?”
If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have had an accident with Grace. If it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t be Rina.
If it weren’t for her, Rina wouldn’t be in the state she was in today.
Howard’s pent–up emotions erupted completely. He tightly gripped Sally’s arms, exerting so much force as if he wanted

Sally looked at his fierce appearance, feeling a piercing pain in her heart. The pain in her arms had already numbed her.
“Howard, do you hate me that much?”
“Yes, I hate you. I want to strangle you.” Howard’s eyes were filled with hostility.
Sally felt as if her heart had been cut deeply. The new and old wounds merged together, and she could feel the rawness of her shattered heart.
“If that’s the case, why did you come to provoke me again?”
Howard glared at her and said word by word, “I will return to you the pain you inflicted on me a hundred fold. You can’t escape the consequences. You wanted to save yourself, but it’s impossible.”
“Do not bully my mommy,” Mia angrily approached, and he threw the LEGO bricks in his hand at Howard.
The LEGO bricks accurately hit Howard’s forehead.
Ouch!
Howard’s gaze sharpened, and a chilling aura surrounded him.
Sally quickly shielded Mia, “Mr. Logan, children don’t know any better. You shouldn’t stoop to their level.”
“He is a child, but what about you?” Howard approached.
Mia glared at Howard, losing the slight admiration he had for

his father when he saw how he treated his mommy.
Didn’t want a father like that.
Sally protected Mia, stepping back.
She didn’t care about herself, but she was afraid that Howard might harm Mia.
“Mr. Logan!”
Just as Howard reached out his hand towards Sally, Alex stepped in and stopped him.
“Mr. Logan, Dr. Matt called. He wants to discuss Rina’s situation with you.”
Upon hearing about Rina, Howard finally calmed down completely. He felt a hint of regret for what he had done.
“Ms. Brown, I apologize. Mr. Logan is not in a good mood today, and he had a bit too much to drink,” Alex quickly explained on Howard’s behalf.
Sally relaxed a bit at this explanation. Indeed, she noticed that something was off with Howard. She had never seen him like this before.
Could it be because of his troubled relationship with Grace?
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Sally shook it off and cursed herself inwardly, “Sally, what are you thinking? Other people’s relationships have nothing to do with you. anymore.”
Alex escorted Howard away.

“Mummy!”
Mia brought Sally’s thoughts back.
Seeing Mia looking at her with concern, Sally reached out and embraced him, soothingly said, “It’s okay, mommy is fine. That man just had a bit too much to drink.”
Mia held onto Sally tightly, his face filled with worry.

Gallon Park.
“Mia, what did you say? Daddy… Rina’s daddy came to our house last night and bullied mommy?” Kara’s small face was filled with anger.
She recalled the words daddy said last night.
Mia nodded vigorously, “Yesterday, he not only pushed mommy but also threatened that he wouldn’t let her off easily.”
Mia, too, was furious when he thought about what daddy did to mommy and what he said.
“Hmph, we don’t need such a daddy.” Kara stood with her hands on her hips, full of anger.
Rina, who was beside them, wanted to say something but opened her mouth several times without uttering a word.
“Rina, I won’t trade with you anymore. Mia and I don’t want daddy anymore. We won’t see each other in the future, and you can pretend you don’t know me and Mia.”
Because she was so angry, Kara vented some of her emotions on Rina.
Rina lowered her gaze, her mood subdued, not saying a word.
Seeing Rina like that, Mia felt a twinge of guilt. After all, they had developed a bond during the days they had spent
