Chapter 385: 385. The turtledove feels superior by stealing the magpie’s nest_1

Melody Baker’s face became even uglier, but meeting the fierce gazes of those two men, she still timidly dared not make a move, only grinding her teeth viciously:

"What are you doing?"

"We’re here to protect Miss Campbell. Anyone intending to harm the young lady won’t get away with it."

The lead bodyguard stated emotionlessly, his piercing gaze resting on Melody Baker’s face, frightening her so much that she shuddered all over and indeed dared not take a step forward.

But from behind those two bodyguards, she glowered at Elly Campbell and hissed through clenched teeth:

"Elly Campbell, don’t go too far. Your father has already thrown you out of the Campbell Family; what right do you have to swagger around here?"

In her eyes, the Campbell Family belonged to James Campbell. The old man had to follow James Campbell’s lead, so why should a daughter who was chased out of the Campbell Family meddle in her affairs here?

Right now, she didn’t dare do anything to Elly Campbell, but she also couldn’t tolerate Elly Campbell behaving arrogantly on brother James’s turf.

Unlike Melody Baker’s frantic anger, Elly Campbell remained calm and composed throughout, leisurely sipping her coffee before slowly placing the cup down.

She rose from her chair and walked slowly over to Melody Baker.

She stood a head taller than Melody Baker; standing so close and looking down on her, Elly Campbell easily scared Melody into taking a big step back.

Remembering the finger Elly Campbell had broken before, Melody’s face turned several shades paler from fear.

"Even a turtledove stealing the nest feels superior. Taking advantage of my grandfather’s absence to dirty his grounds, you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see if you’re even worthy!"

Melody Baker was so infuriated by Elly Campbell’s unrestrained and humiliating words that she couldn’t catch her breath.

Sophie Baker, who already loathed Elly Campbell to the point of wanting her dead, became even angrier upon seeing her own mother insulted like this.

Rushing to support Melody Baker, she glared at Elly Campbell and said:

"Elly Campbell, you’ve even sold your shares to dad now. You no longer have a part in Campbell Corp, and as for the Campbell Family, do you think dad won’t kick you out if you continue to hang around here? This home belongs to dad, and the one who has no right to stay is you!"

As soon as Sophie finished speaking, Elly Campbell couldn’t help but laugh.

Her confident demeanor infuriated the Baker mother and daughter even more, their faces turning a shade of iron blue as they wished they could tear her to pieces.

"It seems James Campbell has quite the act around you all. Oh? Did he not tell you that this estate belongs to my grandfather? Grandpa is generous, simply allowing him to stay here. If grandpa ever got serious, it’s not just you two, even he wouldn’t be allowed to set foot in here!"

The Baker mother and daughter truly did not know that this vast estate was actually the property of the old man.

She always thought the old man was just a soldier who’d retired and was living at home, supported by brother James who owned Campbell Corp. Had she been wrong all along?

This huge estate, with its several dozen servants, didn’t belong to brother James?

Melody couldn’t help but think of what Elly Campbell had said to James Campbell that morning, about him coveting the old man’s connections, which at the time she had dismissed.

A retired soldier, how much influence could he have?

She even advised James Campbell not to worry about the old man not wanting to attend their wedding. But now, it seemed she really had it all wrong.

Seeing the ever-changing expressions on Melody Baker’s face, Elly Campbell found it boring.

Talking to a family of three where everyone is an imbecile is truly tiring.
