Chapter 1184: 1184. Not sothing that can be offset by just one beating.
“You two really are a perfect match, both loving to live in a fantasy and deceive yourselves, thinking that the entire world is full of fools. Whatever you say, others will believe?”
Elly Campbell looked at lody Baker, her gaze growing colder by the second.
“What else would be the purpose of you and your daughter visiting Benjamin Forest at the Detention Center than to make sure he doesn’t turn you in?”
“Once the evidence was undeniable, Sophie Baker beca a thief with a guilty conscience. We hadn’t even made our move, and she confessed everything on her own accord.”
“We hadn’t ntioned suing her, yet she ran off herself and got hit by a car. Who can she bla for that?”
“If bla must be apportioned, then bla God for delivering her retribution so promptly. She orchestrated the car accident to hit Lily Jones years ago, and now it’s co back around.”
lody Baker was backed into a corner by Elly’s words, especially with the scornful and contemptuous looks from the people around her almost causing her to collapse.
“Nonsense, Elly, you’re spouting nonsense. You’re slandering !”
Her voice was high and shrill, causing everyone around to frown.
Adam Jones, worried lody Baker might lose her mind and attack Elly, quickly stepped up to shield her, his gaze sharply fixing on lody Baker.
“Whether it’s nonsense or not doesn’t matter. The matter of you colluding with Benjamin Forest to intentionally murder my sister will be handled by the police. It doesn’t matter if Sophie Baker just lost a leg, even if she were quadriplegic, I will ensure she rots in jail.”
Adam’s words struck with gravity, complented by his icy tone, every word hamring onto the hearts of Sophie Baker and Jas Campbell.
“As for CEO Campbell…”
Adam Jones looked at Jas Campbell, his eyes even colder.
“The few words you spoke today won’t be expiated by a simple beating.”
Jas Campbell’s heart shuddered at this clear warning from Adam, his despicable face clouding over.
Although Elly Campbell was pushed down the stairs by Jas Campbell, she was promptly protected by Adam Jones.
Even though she showed no discomfort, Adam still felt uneasy and took her for a thorough check-up at the maternity ward. Only after confirming everything was fine did he feel reassured enough to leave.
At this ti, within Old Master’s hospital room, Ivy Lentz, after being openly dealt with by Elly, had a belly full of fury with nowhere to vent it.
But she understood all too well that in her mother’s eyes, she was even less than Elly, her niece.
It was also her own fault for being too careless, straining the relationship with her mother before understanding the full situation.
And it was her mother’s fault too, for hiding things too well, always playing the role of the dutiful wife behind her father in front of others, leading her to believe that her father was the main financial provider of the family.
Her mother was nothing more than a capricious rich woman who relied on her husband’s support and indulgence.
Inside, Ivy Lentz couldn’t help but resent Elly, feeling deeply deceived by her.
However, no matter how unsatisfied she was with Elly now, she didn’t dare show a trace of it and simply tried to broach the topic tentatively:
“Mom, with Grandpa in this condition, the doctors can’t even say when he might wake up. Staying here in the hospital isn’t going to help him. There’s such a big company in Canada. Aren’t you afraid of trouble if you don’t take charge there?”
No sooner had she finished speaking than she was t with Elly’s icy gaze. The next second, she heard her scoff coldly:
“Why? In your eyes, is the company more important than my own father?”
