Chapter 799:
At that moment, Elsamara reached for a bottle of mineral water, opened the lid, and offered it to Anne.
Anne was still sobbing softly. Elsamara spoke with genuine sympathy.
“Little sister, drink some water. Your throat must be sore from all that crying.”
Anne stared at Elsamara and then reached out to take the bottle of mineral water.
However, Betty quickly reached out and threw the bottle from Elsamara’s hand to the ground. Betty had completely lost her temper. She pointed at Elsamara and said, “You hypocritical woman! Who knows if you’re trying to poison my daughter with this water?”
Elsamara’s face turned bright red with anger.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” she snapped.
“Many people saw me open this bottle just now.”
“You’re not fooling anyone. You must be hoping for my daughter’s death. Only then will Hank divorce me, and you can finally get the position you want!” Betty hissed.
At this, Elsamara pursed her lips and smiled.
“Betty, I’ll tell you this: I’ve never hidden anything from you. I just like Hank, and I’m with him. So what? Even if you don’t divorce him, I don’t care. I love him. I don’t care about the status or anything else. You can refuse the divorce all you want, I won’t force Hank to divorce you. You can stay in this position until you’re old!”
This time, Betty had met her match. Betty glared at Elsamara and said, “You really don’t feel ashamed at all. Fine! I’ll go and talk to your boss. I’ll make sure you lose this job!”
Unexpectedly, Elsamara took off her uniform right then and there, throwing it onto the front desk.
“Great! I don’t want to work here anymore. Go ahead, tell my boss!”
Betty, absolutely furious, turned to Ryan and quickly thrust Anne into his arms before rushing toward Elsamara.
“Bitch, I’ll kill you!”Elsamara didn’t panic at all when she saw Betty charging toward her. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves, as if preparing to fight Betty.
Mother and I exchanged looks. I couldn’t let them fight—it would only make things worse and serve to embarrass both of them.
Mother and I stepped between Betty and Elsamara, trying to separate them.
“Betty, don’t get agitated!” Mother exclaimed, pulling Betty back.
Seeing that it was Mother, Betty immediately pointed at Elsamara and yelled, “Mom, didn’t you see how she’s bullying me? If you’re really my mother, you should let me go! We need to teach this bitch a lesson!”
“Betty, stop fooling around, okay? Listen to me, hurry up and come back with me!” Mother gently but firmly took Betty’s hand, attempting to leave.
Betty was having none of it. She resisted and threatened, “Am I your real daughter or not? Can you stand by and watch outsiders bully me like this? Hank treats me like this, and now you’re doing the same. Are you supposed to be the closest person to me? I don’t want to live anymore!”
Betty’s words were filled with desperation, and she was acting like a madwoman. Mother looked pale and upset from Betty’s constant pestering.
At that moment, Ryan, who had been standing quietly to the side, spoke up, “That’s right. The one who destroyed another family is acting so confidently, while the original wife is being bullied. This is completely wrong.”
Ryan’s words fueled the crowd’s judgment against Elsamara. Her expression darkened as she heard the remarks. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at Ryan. My attention then shifted to my mother, whose hand had visible veins, clearly distressed. I stepped forward and pulled Betty’s arm.
