Elly Campbell snapped, cutting off Ivy Lentz’s words, "Get the hell out of here with your dad. Go as far as you can, this is my turf and I won’t allow you to run wild on it."
"Mom, you...you actually..."
Ivy Lentz was so infuriated she couldn’t take it anymore. She had never planned to leave her dad behind, and now that her own mother had told her to go, she was only too happy to comply.
"Mom, think about it, without dad, how are you going to live."
Ivy Lentz’s tone was exceptionally self-righteous, and the look she gave Elly Campbell was full of accusation.
But Elly Campbell collected all her rage and suddenly smiled at Ivy Lentz with a gentle and charming demeanor.
She walked up to her daughter and tenderly patted her on the cheek, saying, "Silly child, it’s you who won’t survive without me."
With those words, she didn’t look at Ivy Lentz anymore, "Just hurry up and go."
From her childhood, Ivy Lentz wasn’t close to her dominant mother, even feeling her father was wrong to let her manage such a large company when she was so ungrateful.
Just because dad had a fling one time, she was overstepping her boundaries .
And now she was being told to get lost!
Ivy Lentz snorted coldly in her heart, thinking her own mother was spoiled by her dad. Unable to contain her anger, she turned around and left.
Before leaving, she cast a glance back at Elly Campbell, who was standing extremely close to Elly and Adam Jones.
After the Lentz family left, Elly Campbell finally let go of the thorns in her flesh and silently sat down on the couch.
One was the man she had loved for nearly thirty years, and the other was her only daughter, to whom she wanted to give all the best things; yet this is how they repaid her.
Elly Campbell let out a cold laugh and stayed silent on the couch.
Elly, concerned for her, sat down beside her, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Elly Campbell shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "I’m okay, just a bit nauseous."
Although Elly Campbell didn’t seem to care much about the affair, that man was someone she had entrusted her heart to since she was young. But in the end, he poured a bucket of ice water on her, which anyone would find unbearable.
And Ivy Lentz was simply a little white-eyed wolf who had thoroughly inherited Sean Lentz’s selfish and ruthless personality.
With a betraying husband and an unloving daughter, how could auntie be happy?
Elly didn’t know how to comfort her to make her feel better and was worrying about it when Elly Campbell said:
"Let your son stay with me for a while, you two go out."
Elly was stunned, thinking William Campbell was in Alaska and hadn’t been brought along, then she saw Adam Jones casually pick up the "cute" Elly lying at her feet and place it in Elly Campbell’s hands, "Let’s go out for now."
Looking at the little kitten Elly Campbell was holding and scratching, Elly was bewildered.
When did Elly become her son?
Still puzzled, she was pulled by Adam Jones into the front yard. It was quiet there, and the cold breeze in Boston during winter nights snapped Elly out of her daze.
Realizing that Adam Jones had enveloped her hand in his, she instinctively frowned and withdrew it, asking, "Why did you pull me out here?"
"Auntie is upset, didn’t you see?"
Adam Jones, of course, would never admit that he didn’t care about others’ feelings; he simply found an excuse to spend some alone time with his wife.
