"What's the use of seeking out Elly, only to humiliate yourself? The illegitimate daughter has broken the law, and now you come begging the legitimate daughter for mercy? You really have some nerve."
Elly, sitting on the sofa, lazily lifted her eyelids and cast a contemptuous glance at James Campbell, giving him a look that said "you're an idiot" as he prepared to go upstairs.
"Elly, shut your mouth!"
James Campbell clenched his teeth, forcibly suppressing the urge to strangle Elly in his rage.
Seeing Elly shrug her shoulders helplessly and spread her hands—
"Since you're hell-bent on humiliating yourself, what can I say? Of course, I wish you a peaceful rest in your grave."
"Elly!"
"James!"
Melody Baker, afraid of complications, quickly stepped forward to calm her down.
She now suspected that Elly was deliberately provoking James just to prevent him from having the opportunity to beg that vile woman Elly for mercy.
