Chapter 360: Her expression grew cold as she pondered the potential threat he posed - if recognized by the Russell family, he might claim part of their fortune. It seemed wise to get rid of him sooner.
"Have you ever visited your grandparents with your dad?" Fay asked, trying to seem casual.

Feeling frustrated by being ignored by a child, Fay nudged Patrick rudely and said in a sharp tone, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?" Patrick looked up at her, his expression defiant.
Fay repeated her question.
Patrick rolled his eyes in annoyance and returned to playing with the car model.
Fay grew angry and pushed his arm. "You little brat, how dare you ignore me? This is unacceptable! Answer me; has your dad taken you to meet your grandparents?" Startled by her push, Patrick dropped a piece of the car model. Angrily, he replied, "No." Fay sneered, "So the Russell family doesn't recognize you, huh? That makes sense. Why would they acknowledge a child born to that woman? Your mother's background isn't impressive, is it? Someone like her joining the Russell family? Impossible." Thinking Patrick wouldn't grasp her harsh words, Fay spoke without holding back.
She continued, "Listen here, you shouldn't get too attached to your dad. He'll never marry your mom. She's not right for him. Only someone likefits him. But if you start calling'mom' now, I might think about being your stepmom after I marry your dad." Patrick picked up a metal piece from the car model, his eyes burning with anger. "You're lying! My daddy would never marry someone as mean as you!" With that, he threw the piece at Fay with all his might.

She raised her hand to strike Patrick and shouted, "You little brat, you dare to hit me? I'll teach you a lesson now!" Patrick ran away quickly, yelling, "Daddy, the bad woman wants to hit me! Daddy!"
Fay realized the trouble she would be in if Jayceon learned she tried to hit his son She might lose any chance of marrying him.
She hurried after Patrick, grabbed him to stop him, and tried to scare him into silence. "Who said I was i going to hit you? You're making things up," she said sharply.
Patrick was smart. Although he was smaller than Fay, he used his teeth as a weapon. He bit down hard on Fay's wrist. His mother had always told him to stand up to bad people, and she would handle the rest for him.
