Chapter 819: Turning Against Allies After the Job’s Done?

they were willing to tell me your whereabouts because they saw I was looking for you."

"How could you say that?" Vivienne forced a smile as she stepped over the shattered pieces on the floor and approached Victor. "Victor, you know Ella loves to joke around. The Bailey family only gives me a little respect because of you. Earlier, The slender woman lightly pushed Victor's shoulder, her tone playful and girlish. "I came here to see you, only to find out that Ella and the others have already returned."

Victor's expression softened slightly at her words. He patted Vivienne's hand and gestured for her to sit down. "You two, head back for now. If anything else comes up, I'll let you know."

"Yes, Master," Ella Bailey replied, watching Johnson Bailey leave the room before she stretched lazily and stood up. "You'd better not call me for anything, either. I'm not planning to deal with the Farrell family anymore. After I begged Phil Walker for help earlier, everyone there looked at me like I was a criminal."

"As if I've committed some unforgivable sin."

She glanced coldly at Vivienne, who was leaning against Victor. A mocking smile played on her lips. "Not like some people, though. Pushing fifty and still acting like a little girl, pouting and whining to keep men wrapped around her finger. Disgusting. I'm out!"

"Victor, did you see that..."

Vivienne's ability to cry on cue was truly unmatched. The moment Ella Bailey finished speaking, Vivienne's eyes turned red.

But this time, Ella didn't give her the chance to play the victim. Clicking her tongue, she sneered, "Look, look, crying again. Miss Walker, aren't you tired of this? You're a grown woman, not some seventeen-year-old girl. Do you ever look in the mirror? Your eye bags are practically hanging down to your chin. Every time you open your mouth, your whole face wrinkles up."

"Do you know that when you cry, your face scrunches up like a wilted flower?"

"Ella Bailey!"

Seeing the woman he adored sobbing uncontrollably, Victor's heart ached.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to reprimand her, Ella Bailey cut him off. "Dad, be reasonable! I just got back from the Farrell family after running errands for you, and now you're turning on me? Acting like I'm the problem here?" "Miss Walker, let me remind you-I was helping your brother. And what do I get in return? Not even a thank you. Instead, you're trying to sow discord between me and my father. So all that virtuous, motherly behavior of yours was just an act, huh? Now we get to see the real you."
