Chapter 154: Defending Sovereignty
Ella tightly gripped his hand, her eyes gradually reddening from the disdain she saw in James’s gaze.
"You don’t even live here anymore, so what’s the point of keeping the room? Didn’t you say you don’t recognize me as your father? Whether you stay or not makes no difference," James sneered, not backing down as he stared at Eric.
Ella pursed her lips, then let out a small, mocking laugh.
"You’re using such shameless and domineering tactics just to claim a room," Ella said coolly, her eyes full of scorn as she looked at Henry.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak, you outsider!" James snapped coldly.
Ella chuckled softly, "Old Mr. Nelson, as the former CEO of Nelson Group, don’t you think forcing Mr. Nelson out of his home with these underhanded tactics is both childish and vile? If you want to drive him out, at least use some real skills."
Ella’s voice was light, but it struck hard. Henry’s face darkened, and Grace quickly stepped forward, "Henry, stop talking. Hurry and move everything back out!"
"Oh, Mrs. Miller, you’re quite amusing. First, you have someone’s belongings thrown out without Mr. Nelson’s consent, and now you pretend to be all concerned, telling your son to move them back. You’re quite the actress. If you were truly worried about causing a conflict, you would have stopped your son from the beginning, wouldn’t you?"
Ella’s words were as cold as the bitter chill of winter, yet they warmed Eric’s heart. No matter what he was facing, he was truly grateful to have Ella by his side.
"Miss Davis, how could you say such things!" Grace’s face turned pale, her expression full of feigned hurt.
James’s eyes blazed with anger, as if trying to crush Ella with his sheer willpower. But she wasn’t afraid; she remained cool and indifferent, standing firmly by Eric’s side.
