Chapter 373: 373. A thing that is unfilial, unkind, and unjust_1

"Playing the family card with me?"

She looked at James Campbell, who also wore a face of discontent, and said, "You should be grateful that you’re still my dad by blood, otherwise, with your abilities, do you think I’d entrust the Campbell enterprise to you? I think this display of filial piety has been quite enough."

Not wanting to waste words with these people, she rose from the sofa and said, "Just take care of yourself."

Having said that, she opened the door to leave but James Campbell called out from behind her, "Wait."

Elly Campbell frowned impatiently and turned around, "What else is it?"

James Campbell walked up to her, his gaze fixed on Elly, a sense of entitlement on his face, and said, "Old Master always listens to you the most. Suqin and I are getting married next week. Why don’t you persuade him to stop holding a grudge and come to my wedding happily? Wouldn’t that be nice?"

Elly Campbell couldn’t believe that James Campbell could be so shameless as to infuriate his own dad to the point of hospitalization, never visit him, or apologize, and still have the audacity to ask for her help.

"Who gave you the confidence to think I would do you this favor? How can your face be so thick?"

To say that James Campbell was so close with the Baker mother and daughter—she got it now; they were the same in their shamelessness, the same baffling confidence, the same mix of audacity and stupidity.

She was grateful that she hadn’t inherited James Campbell’s idiocy; otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to live through this life.

He had thought that having just reached an agreement with Elly Campbell, she would at least let him save face.

Instead, she mocked him unabashedly, and James Campbell’s face turned instantly dark.

"Elly Campbell, no matter what, I am your father. Won’t you even do me this small favor?"

The warmth in Elly Campbell’s eyes gradually turned icy, and her gaze at James Campbell was devoid of any emotion. With a curl of her lips and a scoff, she said:

"If it weren’t for that, I could have considered you a person."

"You..."

"If you truly wanted the Old Master’s blessing, you’d sincerely ask for it. Have you done that? No, you haven’t, and instead, you’ve managed to anger him into the hospital."

Elly Campbell’s gaze became more piercing, forcing James Campbell to avert his eyes, "Have you even gone to see him once? No, you haven’t! And now you have the gall to ask me to persuade him; what gives you the right? You’re an ungrateful and unfilial wretch."

"Do you think I don’t know why you insist on having the Old Master attend your wedding? Do you truly seek his blessing? You’re just after the military and political connections behind him. Not to mention who you’re marrying—she’s not even worthy of the Old Master’s people attending your wedding."

"It doesn’t matter that you have no shame, but do you have to come disgusting me, forcing me to strip away your ugly thick skin?"

By the time Elly Campbell finished, James Campbell was so enraged that his face turned livid, and he raised his hand, ready to slap her.

"Try hitting me and see what happens!"

Elly Campbell said sharply, frightening James Campbell into trembling, his hand frozen midway, not daring to fall.

He couldn’t help but remember Adam Jones’ warning that day outside the Campbell building and the recent unexplained troubles with several of his private properties, a flicker of unease rising within him.

The hand that had been suspended midair slowly lowered, and in his rage-filled eyes, Elly Campbell gave him a scornful, indifferent look, then walked away with Lawyer Thompson.

"That bitch!"

Only after Elly Campbell’s figure disappeared did James Campbell finally explode in rage, "I’ll make sure that little bitch suffers."
