Elyse kept throwing tantrums in the ward, and the floor was in a mess.

Michael kept his head lowered while he tidied up the mess. As he did so, he said to his daughter, “You’re still a celebrity, so what are you going to do if people see you throwing things around? If they start spreading rumors, your reputation will be ruined.”

Elyse remained silent as she gripped her blanket tightly.

In fact, she gripped the blanket so hard that she tore a hole in it.

Michael shook his head in exasperation. “Speaking of which, it was a close call this time. Elyse, did you hit your head or something? How could you do something like that? Getting someone to push Bria under the pillar means that you’re making Leo your enemy. It’s already a miracle that he hasn’t killed you!”

“Dad, can’t you just be quiet?!” Unable to bear it, Elyse shrieked annoyedly, “I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear any of it!”

With that, she covered her ears.

When Michael saw her reacting like that, he gave a few sighs.

“I know you don’t want to hear it, but I’m still your dad. I want you to know that after what you did, Leo was merciful enough to only break your leg. Don’t ever do that again.”

As he spoke, he scooted closer to Elyse and said, “Didn’t you hear? Kirkford Village has been carrying out exorcisms lately, and they’re claiming that serious accidents keep happening. The luckier ones were only injured, but the less fortunate ones ended up crippled. I asked around and found out that those people had all been to the site where the supermarket collapsed. Don’t you know what that means?”

When Elyse heard what Michael said, the fury on her face finally faded and was replaced by shock.

“Are you sure?”

As she asked the question, her voice was trembling.

Kirkford Village was miles away from the collapsed supermarket. She only went to those people because they happened to be hanging out there.

Only few villagers from Kirkford had been to the supermarket, and it could only be those people!

“Of course, I am.” Michael threw his head back. “That’s why I said that your life was spared. Don’t ever do that again.”

Elyse hadn’t told Michael anything, but Michael was a wise man, so he had already figured out what was going on behind the string of incidents and guessed what his daughter had done.

“I can accept the fact that he’s mad at me for Bria’s sake, but I fear his true reason is Amelie! He knew that I only wanted to target Amelie!” Elyse was still mad as she sobbed.
