    Ameliaughed scornfully. “Of course. My A’li is infinitely better than your useless son.”


    Yue fell silent.


    She couldn’t withstand Amelia’s verbal assault.


    Yue screamed at Cecilia, who was watching the spectacle: “Are you dead? Stop standing there! Get this lunatic away from me!”


    Cecilia raised an eyebrow, unmoved.


    Amelia pped Yue across the mouth. “That’s my daughter–inw. Who are you to bark orders at her?”


    Yue covered her cheek, stunned. Though they’d shed since her return to the Carlton family, physical violence was unprecedented. Besides, priding herself on elegance, Yue would never p someone publicly. She could only re venomously and stomp her feet.


    “You… you’re utterly unreasonable!”


    Amelia viciously yanked Larissa’s hair, making her shriek in pain again


    “You’re a vicious woman–she’s your brother’s child too!”


    Amelia pped Chu Yue, who dared not retaliate physically but kept hurling insults.


    Cecilia watched with relish.


    Though she had history with Amelia and disliked her, she felt like

    Scheming women like Chu Yue and Larissa deserved someone like Amelia to put them in their ce.


    “Enough!”


    Elijah’s voice cut through as he strode forward. “Madam, Mr. Carlton wants you inside.”


    Any moremotion here would make front–page news tomorrow.


    Amelia yanked Larissa by the hair, dragging her into Wesley’s hospital


    room.


    With no more drama to see, Cecilia turned to leave.


    Elijah blocked her path. “Mr. Carlton wants you inside too.”


    He stood firm, making no move to let her pass.


    Cecilia had no choice but to reenter the room.


    In the hospital room, Amelia had finally let go. Larissa covered her head, cowering behind Yue, whimpering pitifully.


    Yueined, “Wesley, you need to rein in your mother. She’spletely out of control! She dragged Larissa out of the elevator by the hair in front of everyone. How disgraceful!”


    Larissa choked up, “I truly didn’t know there’d be an ident. If I’d known, I’d never have let my brother pick me up. Auntie, I’m sorry, so sorry.”


    “Phony! Shut your mouth,” Amelia snapped impatiently. “Careful or I’ll hit you again.”

    Larissa instantly fell silent.


    Only then did Amelia turn to Wesley. Seeing the injuries on his face, her heart ached terribly.


    “How did you get hurt so badly?”


    Her gaze shifted back to Larissa, and she wished she could tear the girl to pieces.


    She regretted not hitting harder earlier, regretted not pping her a few more times.


    Wesley rubbed his temples. “It’s not serious. Let Larissa go, Mom. Don’t make it hard for her.”


    Larissa looked at him with overwhelming gratitude.


    Amelia was displeased. “She caused this! And we just let her walk away?”


    Yue objected, “Wesley is Larissa’s brother! Protecting his sister is his duty. How is that ‘causing‘ anything?”


    Amelia’s expression darkened.


    Larissa is married, she has a husband. When she can’t handle her marriage, she goes running to Wesley?


    “If something happens to Wesley, what will happen to Cecilia and her unborn child?


    Should she be a young widow or just abort the baby and marry someone else?”


    Amelia shot Wesley a stern look. “In your heart, is Larissa more important than Cecilia and her child?”

    Wesley opened his mouth. “No.”


    Cecilia felt a pang in her chest. Amelia was voicing her exact thoughts.


    Wesley knew this truth, yet whenever Larissa faced trouble, he’d still rush to her rescue first.


    Though she wouldn’t be a widow–after all, she and Wesley had only verbally reunited, not legally remarried.


    Amelia red in frustration. “Then why did you rush out for Larissa in the middle of the night? Seems you care nothing for Cecilia or the baby.”


    Larissa wiped her tears. “Auntie, please don’t scold him. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have reached out.”


    Amelia wasn’t having it. “Don’t call him ‘brother.‘ You’ve lost that right. Call him that again, I’ll make you regret it.”


    Larissa shrank back, silenced.


    Yue stepped forward protectively. “Larissa is Wesley’s sister. Him protecting her is perfectly justified.”


    She frowned at Cecilia. “If Cecilia
