Cedric, on his way back home, tore down the whole house.
He smashed everything inside, destroying various precious and unique items. He behaved like a rioter, unstoppable by anyone, going on a rampage and smashing things wildly.
Latonia, shocked by her son's intense reaction, was fuming with anger. "Cedric, for a woman, you're treating your parents like this? Where's your conscience?"
Cedric, holding a baseball bat, smashing while coldly retorting, "You knew I wanted to marry Hailey, yet you had to interfere. Where's your conscience?"
Seeing his precious collections being smashed to the ground, Quinlan, was absolutely livid. He charged forward, "Cedric, what the hell are you doing?!"
Cedric, ignoring Quinlan's attempt to stop him, raised one of the precious items and slammed it hard onto the ground. "Get my mom to apologize to Hailey, or I'll smash all your beloved collections!"
Quinlan, who usually had no authority, was so angry he was panting. "Your mom was doing this for your own good, you ungrateful brat! How could you let her lower herself to apologize to a stranger?"
At this, Cedric smashed another row of bottles and jars. "If you really cared about me, you would have helped me plan the wedding, not go behind my back to bad mouth the woman I want to marry!"
Watching his beloved collections turn into rubble, Quinlan was heartbroken. "These are centuries old, priceless treasures, and you've smashed them all, you...you..."
Quinlan was so angry he nearly passed out, if not for the servants holding him up, he would have collapsed.
Seeing her husband in such a state, Latonia tried to stop Cedric but was pushed aside.
"Mom, you better apologize to Hailey, or I'll come here every day and smash everything. If you don't let me live peacefully, I won't let you either!"
It was clear that he was here to stand up for Hailey. Latonia was surprised at how disrespectful her children were to their parents. They were completely unfilial!
"Go ahead and smash everything, I won't apologize to her."
Quinlan hadn't forced Hailey to break up, it was all Latonia's doing. What did that have to do with him? Why was Cedric only destroying his stuff, not Latonia's?
Seeing Quinlan picking up the scraps of paper from the floor, Latonia glared at Cedric, "Consider yourself lucky that your father and I aren't prone to violence.”
In other families, if a child destroyed the house like this, they would have been beaten up. Who would let Cedric flaunt his power and act wildly?
Cedric couldn't be bothered to deal with Latonia anymore. After smashing the collection room, he went on to the living room, kitchen, lounge, bedrooms, one by one, leaving no stone unturned.
After smashing everything and violently dismissing all the servants, Cedric surprisingly decided to stay at home.
He had no other purpose but to make the two pampered middle-aged couple serve him, do his laundry and cook for him, basically, be at his beck and call.
Also, he planned to smash things at home every day, and scold the couple for good measure. Basically, do whatever pissed them off, stir up trouble and that's it!
