Chapter 1179: 1179. Retribution comes just in time

Listening to this woman not only curse another’s legit daughter to Hell but even wish ill on the unborn child, I could no longer stand it.

A vindictive person is just a vindictive person—unworthy of sympathy.

Melody Baker felt that cursing wasn’t satisfying enough. Seeing Elly Campbell without Adam Jones by her side, only Lily Jones, who was fiercely protective of her own daughter, Baker unleashed her vitriol even more freely.

After all, with that fool, Lily around, even if Adam Jones had been there, Lily would have shielded her.

Indeed, Lily had already started walking toward her.

Feeling triumphant, as Lily reached her, Melody was about to speak, "Lily, look..."

Slap—

The next second, amidst gasps from the onlookers, Lily raised her hand and fiercely landed a slap across Melody Baker’s face,

twisting it sideways, stunning her completely.

This was far beyond what she had anticipated.

Wasn’t this idiot Lily always protecting Sophie?

Why, after hearing that Sophie had lost a leg due to Elly Campbell, would she not only refrain from confronting Campbell but also hit her?

Holding her cheek, she stared dumbfounded at Lily’s furious face, even forgetting to react.

"Our Jones family members are none of your business, you despicable woman! If I hear one more curse from your filthy mouth about us, I’ll cut out your tongue!"

Melody Baker was terrified by Lily’s demeanor, assuming she was just upset for the child Elly Campbell was carrying, not realizing she was actually including all Jones family members.

After all, it was her Jones family’s blood.

Back when she and Elly Campbell were at odds, Melody still affectionately called Campbell’s legitimate child her ’nephew.’

Thus, despite disliking Elly Campbell, she still felt obligated to protect the child Campbell was carrying because it was of Jones blood.

Melody Baker had not yet fully grasped the change in Lily’s attitude.

Covering her face, she lamented,

"Lily, do you know what’s happened? Sophie’s lost a leg. Elly Campbell caused her to have an accident, and her leg was amputated!! Waaah!!"

She said, then burying her face in her hands, she began to sob.

"Amputated?"

Far from showing any surprise, Lily’s face even showed a hint of schadenfreude as she smirked.

"Karma couldn’t have come at a better time."

Hearing this, Melody’s voice hitched, and she gawked at Lily, stuttering,

"Lily... what did you say?"

"I said, this is Sophie Baker’s karma!"

"You..."

"Even now, do you think you can fool me, treating me like an idiot? Thinking I still don’t know anything?"

This statement from Lily made Melody’s pupils dilate, and her heart trembled.

"What... what are you saying? I don’t understand!"

"It’s okay if you don’t understand right now; I’ll explain slowly so you will eventually."

Lily’s lips curved up, "You and your daughter really are ruthless, doing anything to get close to my brother and benefit from our Jones family."

"Nine years ago, you and Benjamin Forest collaborated to kidnap my brother and framed my sister-in-law, while Sophie Baker played the hero who saved him, reaping billions from our Jones family—you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

"Unable to win my brother’s heart, you again conspired with Benjamin Forest to cause an accident meant to kill me, yet that despicable Sophie turned around and ’saved’ me from the car—suddenly becoming my savior again..."
