And yet, just as Elly had stumbled, unable to dodge James Campbell's thrown cup.
Elly Campbell saw things were looking bad and stepped forward to pull Elly aside; coincidentally, the cup in James's hand struck Elly Campbell's face.
Elly's skin was very fair, so when struck by the cup, it immediately reddened over a large area, and her face turned dark with pain right away.
This also left James Campbell and Melody Baker dumbfounded, and the living room fell silent in an instant.
"Are you alright, Elly?"
Elly quickly walked over to Elly Campbell, checking the wound on her face.
"It's nothing."
But the cup was hard, and the strength behind James's throw was enough to ensure her face wouldn't escape unscathed.
Elly Campbell rubbed the sore cheek where she had been hit and looked towards James, her eyes now filled with an icy coldness.
