Scott's expression was far from pleasant. He really didn’t know what to say about Elysia. She was always causing
trouble, yet she could also surprise him with unexpected delights.
In his opinion. Elysia was difficult to control, especially when compared to Emma, who was always sensibile.
There was a world of difference between them. He decided to work on taming Elysia in the future. He wanted
Elysia to be under his control.
Scott said. “The fact is right in front of us. How do you plan
to

Elysia sneered inside, ‘Fact? What kind of fact is this? As a party involved, | haven't even been given a chance to
defend myself, yet the blis inexplicably placed on me.
“And he says | am arguing? Is defending myself and telling the truth considered arguing If that is the case, then |
could only admit that | do intend
to argue
Elysia looked at Scott, her eyes showing no sign of fear. With a slight smile, she said, “I wonder what facts you're
referring to, Dad”
“Are you really that clueless? And you have the nerve to ask me,” Scott said and frowned. “I'm telling you, the
Smith family demanded you apologize
“And during this time, you're also responsible for taking care of Mia's daily needs until she’s fully recovered.”
Hearing Scott's words, Elysia frowned. She suddenly regretting that she hadn't kicked Mia harder. She should
have given Mia a good enough kick to keep Mia in bed for ten to fifteen days. Otherwise, Mia's wish would

Meanwhile, Emma was secretly delighted inside. She thought, If Elysia really has to take care of Mia's daily

At that time, Elysia glance at Scott and then fix her gaze on Emma, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness. She
said, “I wonder if the person who told you the fact mentioned how Mia humiliatedfirst?”
After saying this, she looked back at Scott and said. “I can agree to the Smith family’s demands, but if this
makes a laughingstock of our family in the business world, don’t say | didn’t warn you.”
Scott was puzzled. He didn’t understand why would agreeing to the Smith family’s demands make a
laughingstock? Wouldn't it be the opposite? Wouldn't refusing their demands be considered rude and laughable!
“Elysia, don’t try to confuse the issue,” Bella looked at Elysia and said, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.
She didn’t like Elysia. Perhaps it was because Elysia hadn't been raised by her side, making it hard for her to feel
close to Elysi.
Moreover, Elysia always had a bit of a rascal vibe about her, far from the ideal daughter Bella had in mind. Her
ideal daughter should be like Emma -gentle, graceful, and well-mannered.
But Elysia was different. On the first day they met, Elysia had left Bella with a terrible impression, making Bella
impossibly feel any affection for Ely.
“I'm not confusing the issue, I'm just stating the facts” Elysia looked at Bella and said, her tone still playful
Scott said impatiently, “So, tell me, what really happened?” He hadn't planned on giving Elysia a chance to
explain, but her words had piqued his interest. If this really did turn the Rosewood family into a joke, in would be
a loss.

is eyes flickered with surprise. She didn’t know what Elysia was about to say, but in the past, Scott would have
calmed down after hearing Elysia out. She didn’t know if that would be the case this time. But then she shook
her head.
Emura thought, ‘Impossible. This time, the Smith family is so adamant. Dad wouldn't offend them for Elysia. That
was exactly why she had chosen to stand by Mia
With the Smith family backing them up and their testimonies, no matter how capable Elysia was, she wouldn't be
able to turn the situation around. Elysia said. “The truth is, Mia insultedfirst and even tried to teacha

After saying this, Elysia looked at Emma With a faint smile, she said, “Emma witnessed the whole thing”
Scott asked. “Is what she saying true?”
Hearing Scout's question, Emma’s body stiffened slightly, showing a bit of panic. She would never confirm that

reason she acted panicked was simply to make her false accusations against Elysia more convincing.
The more flustered she appeared, the more it suggested there was something fishy going on.
Scott said. Tm asking you a question” He raised his voice, his tone filled with anger.
Only then did Emma stammer, “Elysia, if you've done something wrong, just admit it. Everyone will forgive you”
She looked a bit scared, as if she had been intimidated by Scoll.
Seeing this. Bella quickly embraced Emma, gently patting her back.
Scott glanced sideways at Emma, having made up his mind. He thought, Logically, if Emma is this scared, she
shouldn't dare to lie, so her words are likely true!
He turned to Elysia and angrily shouted, “What do you have to say for yourself now!”
Elysia raised an eyebrow and asked, “Dad, do you choose to believe Emma?” She thought, ‘Emma is really good
at scheming. With just a few simple moves, she could deceive everyone around her.

She wondered if they had ever thought about whether a child so young could freeze or starve to death, or be

parents try their best to make up for the eighteen years of missing paternal and maternal love?
Even if they didn’t make up for it, they should at least act like parents. But they all had their own selfish motives.
Elysia would rather believe that she was abandoned, because that seemed to be the most reasonable
explanation at the moment.
Finally, Emma’s expression improved, and Bella had the chance to scold Elysia. “How could you lief It's a shame
that Emma even wanted to cover for you, and is this the attitude you show?”
Elysia sneered, ‘Emma covering for me? Would she be that kind-hearted? | didn’t do anything wrong in the first
