Chapter 5

"Benjamin, you are going too far!" Jack slammed the cup heavily onto the table.

"I concede my actions were wrong, but Cathy has relentlessly insulted my parents throughout the journey. I confess that I am somewhat incensed."

"But you can't simply abandon her and the child at the service area. What if something befalls them? Moreover, what harm is there in her uttering a few words? Your parents won't wither away from it." Jack's anger escalated with each word, his intent clear to rise and strike me.

No wonder Cathy had turned out this way; her parents were equally disdainful.

I looked down as my fury was simmering.

"Are you displeased after I've spoken my piece? We are your elders; what fault is there in offering a few words?" Upon glimpsing my expression, Judy joined in the scolding.

I thought, "A clan of scoundrels."

"I apologize. Cathy, it won't happen again." I lifted my head, meeting their gaze with eyes reddened by rage.

They likely presumed I had acknowledged my error so much that I was on the verge of weeping in remorse, so they regarded me with contempt before arranging for our Christmas Eve feast.

This would be my final meal with them, so I consumed it as if nothing untoward had transpired.

After the feast, I shut off the video recording; I had secured all I needed.

While Jack and I watched television, Judy mysteriously ushered Cathy into the bedroom.

It was a given; Judy was discreetly handing Cathy more money once again.

Jack proceeded to the bathroom, and Paul was engrossed in his cell phone. For some reason, I trailed Cathy and Judy there.

"Cathy, do you wish to teach that lad a lesson?"

As I approached the door, I caught Judy's voice.

The old house boasted average soundproofing, so I pressed my ear against the door and activated the recording.

"Mom, what do you mean?" Cathy's voice betrayed confusion.

"He dared to desert you and Paul this time; next, he might dare to cheat on you. You must take action to frighten him."

I was confused.

I could not figure out the logic between my abandoning Cathy and betrayal.

"I've already reprimanded him. Besides, he wouldn't dare. Otherwise, how could he have remained oblivious until now..."

I thought, "Oblivious of what?"
