Having said this, she rubbed her recently twisted wrist and declared, "It seems I’ve sprained the tendons in my wrist. To show Miss Baker’s sincerity in acknowledging her fault, she should experience the same injury. That’s not too much to ask, is it?"
As Miss Campbell spoke, her expression was all smiles, indeed resembling that of a kind-hearted girl.
James Campbell and Melody Baker’s faces, however, alternated between shades of anger and pallor.
"Elly Campbell, I had no idea you could be so cruel and ruthless."
James Campbell, pointing at Elly Campbell’s smug smiling face, furiously condemned her with his face ashen.
Seeing Elly lazily lift her eyelids and sneer coldly, "You didn’t foresee this because you’re too stupid. Is it my fault for not accommodating someone else’s stupidity?"
The young Miss Campbell couldn’t help but laugh disrespectfully.
Having lived a good many years, she always thought she had a vicious tongue people wished they could cut out, but she never expected her grandniece to be even more formidable!
At this moment, no words seemed fitting to describe the look on James Campbell’s face.
"Miss, the surveillance has been retrieved."
The bodyguard came over with a USB drive and handed it to Elly Campbell.
Flipping the USB in her hand, Miss Campbell asked the opposing James Campbell and Melody Baker, "Have you thought it through?"
Melody Baker, staring at the USB in Elly Campbell’s hand that could land her in prison, wished she could drink Elly’s blood and eat her flesh, but she was utterly powerless to retaliate.
If it were someone else, she could dismiss them with money or intimidate them with her influence, but only with Elly Campbell, neither approach worked—she was helpless against her.
Finally, biting her teeth in resentment, Baker hissed, "Fine, I apologize!"
Elly Campbell, satisfied, curved her lips into a smile, leaned back on the couch, and said to the servant, "Pour Miss Baker some coffee."
At this moment, no matter how much Melody Baker wished death upon Elly Campbell, she still knelt down before her, feigning sincere remorse.
Holding the coffee, Baker said hatefully, "Miss Campbell, today is my fault. I was too impulsive. You are a generous person; please do not lower yourself to my level."
Watching Elly Campbell smilingly observe Melody Baker’s futile hatred, she slowly reached out to take the coffee but did not drink it, setting it aside without a sip.
James Campbell, seeing Elly’s triumphant demeanor, was also livid, "Is this enough now? If it’s enough, I’ll take her away right this moment."
As he was about to help Melody Baker up, Elly Campbell stopped him, "Is this it? Does CEO Campbell think I’m so senile that I’ll be easily fooled?"
With her remark, she directly pierced through James Campbell’s thoughts.
A twitch almost imperceptible flickered at CEO Campbell’s eye corner, and before he could speak up, Elly had already preempted by telling Melody Baker, "Stretch out your hand."
Melody Baker knew what Elly Campbell wanted to do and that this woman would not easily let her off the hook, but considering the potential of going to prison, she still endured her fear and slowly extended her hand toward Elly.
Seeing Elly Campbell slowly take her hand with a light smile on her face, "Don’t be nervous. It will be over soon."
She was like a gentle executioner, who, while doing something as violent as arson and murder, still softly comforted Baker.
The next second, a sharp scream of "Ah!" burst from Melody Baker’s mouth as Elly Campbell twisted her hand a full 360 degrees, leaving her face deathly pale with pain.
