NovelReadingChapter 1029:
Servants swarmed around Nova as she made her way toward the mansion, her eyes immediately landing on
Hoyt, who was kneeling by the entrance.
Her perfectly manicured nails dug into her palm, her anger flaring like a sudden storm.
Seeing her dear son kneeling here felt like a slap in the face. Suppressing the wave of fury, Nova marched
toward Hoyt, her expression cold and tight.
“What's going on here?” she asked, her voice deceptively calm, almost as if she were an ordinary mother
questioning her son’s punishment. But to Hoyt, her tone felt like an accusation. He trembled, fear seeping into
his voice.
“I only criticized Kellan a little, and Dad madekneel here for three hours. But don’t worry about me, Mom—"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNova's patience wore thin as she cut him off. “You worthless fool!” she snapped, delivering a sharp slap to his
face.
She took a deep, steadying breath, her face betraying no emotion as she looked down at him. “How did | end up
with a son like you?” Another slap landed before Hoyt could even protest, and by the the registered the
sting, he saw his mother walk past him, not sparing him a second glance.
“Why?”
Hoyt's teeth clenched, his eyes burning with frustration.
He had known it would end like this.
Nova entered the Lloyd family mansion without a word to her son and directly went to the study to see Brook.
He was engrossed in company documents, not even glancing up at her entrance.
“Honey, you don’t even look up when | walk in?” she asked with a soft smile, the remnants of her earlier anger
now dissolved. Brook took a sip of coffee, his expression unreadable.
“I heard your footsteps. You're the only one who walks like that in this house.”
“You knowtoo well,” Nova said with a casual smile.
She sat across from Brook, her demeanor effortlessly composed, as she brought up the matter at hand. “I saw
Hoyt kneeling outside just now. He must have upset you again. I'm sorry for him. It's my fault for being too busy
back then and not having tto teach him properly.”
Upon hearing Nova’s tone, full of guilt and regret, Brook set the papers down in his hands.
“What does this have to do with you?” he asked, frowning deeply. “Hoyt has always been impulsive, and his skills
are nowhere near Kellan's. It’s only natural for him to feel envious, which is why he still needs a lot of discipline.
Don’t blyourself.”
“You're right,” Nova agreed, nodding at his words.

smart while my child was so foolish. Now that | think about it, | spoiled Hoyt too much.” Her voice was soft, and
the pressure from her hands was perfect. Though she seemed to be taking the blame, she was really just
showing her thoughtful side to Brook.
As expected, he shut his eyes, and his mood lightened noticeably. “Compared to Kellan’s rebelliousness, Hoyt is
much more agreeable,” he said.
