The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows
Chapter 1060
?Chapter 1060:
Ronald and Bess stood nearby, their faces tense with irritation. Bess kept rolling her eyes, clearly angry.
A wave of relief washed over Ethan as he took in the scene. His gaze lingered on Elsa’s leg before he finally spoke up, a note of disbelief in his voice. “A broken calf, and the surgery was done this quickly?”
Elsa’s face tightened with unease, and she didn’t know what to say.
Looking to Ronald for answers, Ethan asked, “Uncle Ronald, my mom’s leg isn’t really broken, is it?”
Ronald’s face was dark as he looked at Elsa in anger. He directly told Ethan the truth. “She just has a minor scrape.”
A heavy silence lingered as Ethan met Elsa’s eyes. She quickly looked away, unable to hold his gaze for long.
Ethan wasn’t about to let the matter go. “So? Want to exin what really happened? Why is Kenny ignoring my calls?” Elsa squirmed under his questions.
Ethan shifted his focus to Ronald. “Uncle Ronald, just tell me what happened.”
Ronald let out a deep sigh before recounting everything.
“Kenny and Rosanna dropped by when they found out your grandma was ill. Your mom was already here, helping your grandmother eat. You know, your mom doesn’t like Rosanna. She spoke to her harshly, calling her shameless, and said many unpleasant things about her.”
Before he could go on, Elsa interjected, her voice rising in protest. “Don’t pin this all on me! That woman’s never shown me an ounce of respect. She just greeted me and then ignored me, but she was sweet as pie with my mom. Why shouldn’t I call her out? Just because I point out her rudeness, suddenly I’m the viin? She tried to hit me over onement! That is outrageous!”
Bess shook her head, clearly not agreeing with Elsa.
Brenna made no move to greet anyone. Instead, she simply shed Ronald a polite smile, then settled quietly beside Bess.
Seeing Brenna deliberately ignore her, Elsa felt her irritation boil over. She jabbed a finger in Brenna’s direction and snapped, “You know, Brenna’s even more disrespectful than Rosanna! At least Rosanna greets me, even though she is cold. But look at Brenna. She can’t even bother to say hello to me. So rude!”
Before Elsa could continue, Ethan stepped forward and blocked her view of Brenna. “Mom, leave Brenna out of this. We’re supposed to be talking about what happened with Kenny and Rosanna. Don’t try to change the subject.”
Elsa’s anger only grew, and she rounded on Ethan. “Look at you. She isn’t even your wife, but you’re already taking her side! Am I not allowed to scold her now?”
?????? ???????? ????????????????: g??????ν?????????????
Ethan kept hisposure. “Brenna isn’t your daughter. You didn’t raise her, so don’t act like you can lecture her.”
Elsa was so outraged that her hands shook. She was unable toe up with a retort.
Ethan turned back to Ronald. “Uncle Ronald, what happened after that?”
Ronald’s anger was in to see. Instead of enjoying a quiet retirement, Elsa always managed to stir up trouble, and now, things had spun out of control.
“When your mom started arguing with Rosanna, I told them that your grandmother was sick and they needed to take their argument somewhere else. So, they left the room.
Kenny followed them out. When I stepped into the hallway, I saw him desperately reaching for his wife as they both tumbled down the stairs. Your mothery sprawled on the floor, crying out in agony. Rosanna was gravely injured and bleeding; there was a real chance she might lose the baby.
Ethan stared at Elsa in disbelief. “So you were the one who started the fight, and your actions caused Rosanna’s fall. Yet you told me Kenny had pushed you? How could you twist the truth like that?”
