James Horne saw from afar his older brother's two bodyguards dragging his mother out of the villa, and at that moment, his heart lurched, then sank heavily.
He knew his older brother had little regard for his mother. However, out of consideration for him, and for the deep love his stepmother, Mila Anderson, still held for their father, his brother had always restrained himself. He had never lashed out at his mother or father. Now, witnessing this scene, he knew his mother must have caused a major disaster to compel his brother to throw her out.
As early as when his mother called him, saying she wanted to come back to the Horne Family with him for the Little New Year's dinner, he had a bad premonition. That was why he had returned early today, even before his workday ended. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late; his mother had come by herself.
James was deeply dissatisfied and exasperated by Pheobe Rogers's 'disobedience'.
