?Chapter 584:


    “Stop, Ellie!” Demi called out abruptly, seizing her arm. “Have you been seducing Erick again?”


    “If you’re mentally ill, perhaps a doctor’s visit is in order,” Ellie retorted, briskly freeing her arm from Demi’s grasp.


    In the next moment, a scream pierced the air.


    “Ah!” Demi copsed, clutching her abdomen in agony.


    “Ellie, why did you push me? My baby, my baby… Help! Somebody help!” The mourning hall, which had been engulfed in a respectful hush, was now starkly disrupted by Demi’s anguished cries and pleas for help.


    Litzy rushed to Demi’s side, cradling her in her arms amidst the chaos. “Demi! What happened? Don’t worry. I’m calling for an ambnce.” As the other guests gathered around, the sight of blood trailing down Demi’s legs elicited gasps of horror.


    “Oh, no! I heard that Demi’s pregnant, isn’t she? Could this have caused a miscarriage?”


    Demi, through her tears, used Ellie, “You’re heartless, Ellie! It’s one thing to despise me, but why harm my unborn child? It’s innocent!” The crowd’s stares turned usatory towards Ellie, as if she were a murderer.


    Staring at the blood between Demi’s legs, Ellie’s fingertips trembled, her expression one of utter disbelief and vulnerability. She hadn’t pushed Demi… so why had this tragedy befallen them?


    At the hospital, it was confirmed that Demi had lost her baby. Her weeping left Ellie in turmoil, marking the first time she felt defenseless against Demi’s usations.


    The Thorpe family, upon hearing the news, converged in distress. Genesis, incensed, confronted Ellie, “You malevolent woman, return my grandchild! Give back the Thorpe family’s future heir!”


    As Genesis aimed a p at Ellie, she caught the older woman’s wrist effortlessly. “If you want to talk, do so calmly. You have no right to strike me.”


    Ellie shook her hand off coldly.


    “Considering you caused the death of my grandson, isn’t it only fair for me to give you a p in return?” Genesis, undeterred, attempted another p, driven by fury and grief.


    Overwhelmed by sadness, all Ellie could focus on was the heartbreaking news of Demi’s miscarriage.


    This time, she firmly grasped Genesis’ hand and guided her straight toward Erick, who, surprisingly, showed no sorrow over the loss of his baby.


    “Is this how you treat the elders? How rude of you! I’ll teach you a lesson!” Hearing themotion, Litzy emerged from the hospital room, preparing to strike Ellie. This time, Ellie didn’t dodge.


    As Litzy’s hand neared Ellie’s face, her wrist was once again grasped from behind.


    With a practiced smile, Bruce seized her wrists and pulled Litzy two meters away from Ellie. Next to Bruce, Kaiden’s presence was chilling, emanating an aura of formidable pressure.


    “When did you decide it was your ce toy hands on my woman?”


    Litzy found herself unable to retaliate against Kaiden, especially after daring to strike Ellie.
