The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141

Sitting in the front row, David turned his head and spotted the striking figure of Skylar in the crowd. His expression immediately turned furious as he stood up. “Skylart”

The moment he recalled how this adopted daughter had been targeting the Stone family ever since her return, his rage boiled over,

He stormed past several rows of chairs toward her, raising his hand as if to strike.

But just as his hand was about to come down, a force yanked him back.

He turned his head and found himself facing Blake’s icy glare. The overwhelming pressure radiating from Blake’s eyes sent a chill down his spine. He couldn’t help but tremble,

“Mr. Lambert…” David stammered.

Blake snapped, “You dare lay a hand on her?”

David was stunned. “You and her, you two…”

Blake commanded icily, “Get out.”

Blake’s sharp tone made David flinch, his fat body visibly trembling as he swallowed hard.

Though intimidated, David reminded himself he was now the father–in–law of Yosef. That gave him some courage. “Mr. Lambert, you may not know this, but she’s my adopted daughter.”

He continued, “She has a terrible character and constantly bullies her younger sister. Today, she even caused such a disgraceful scene at the engagement ceremony. I can’t just let her get away with it. This is a family matter. Please stay out of it.”

Blake, calm but exuding authority, replied with a cold question, “What did you just say?”

David shivered, stumbling over his words. “I said… I…”

Blake warned icily, “Get out of my sight right now, or else…”

David turned toward Yosef for help, who had just stepped off the stage and was walking toward them.

His eyes lit up. “Yosef! You’re my dear son–in–law. Come!”

Yosef looked at him coldly. “Don’t use that fawning tone.”

Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but chuckle.

Humiliated, David tried to save face. “Mr. Campbell, you’re my daughter’s fiancé. You have to stand on her side!”

Yosef cut in coldly, “I’m not.”

David stared in disbelief. “What?”

Yosef sneered. “The ceremony wasn’t completed, I’m not her fiancé.”

David gritted his teeth. “You can’t abandon Elianna over this one incident. She waited for you for so long, even gave birth to your child!”

Rebecca helped the trembling Elianna over.

She said, “Mr. Campbell, even if you’re angry, please consider the child.”

Chapter 141

The Stone family was trying to stand on the moral high ground and pressure Yosef. Unfortunately, he wasn’t buying it.

Yosef chuckled coldly. “Elianna, I’ve been keeping quiet for the child’s sake, but you know exactly what you’ve done.”

Elianna’s face went deathly pale.

‘What does Yosef know? Could it be… that matter? No way! Impossible!‘ Elianna wondered, panic rising in her chest.

Elianna forced herself to calm down and said, “Yosef, I swear I’ve never done anything like that. You have to believe me! I was set up!”

“If you don’t believe me, then I’ll die to prove my innocence!” She was about to throw herself at a wall.

Rebecca grabbed her frantically, sobbing. “My poor daughter! What did you do to deserve all this?”

“Mr. Campbell, you’ve known Elianna for years. You know her character. Don’t be blinded by a scheming woman,” David added, staring straight at Skylar.

Skylar let out a mocking laugh. “No wonder Ms. Stone is so brainless. It must be genetic.”

David pointed at her in fury. “You little bitch, you…”

Then, David let out a piercing scream. Blake snapped his finger back.

Blake warned, “Point that filthy finger one more time, and I’ll cut it off.”

David howled in pain, his body twisting in agony.

With red–rimmed eyes, Rebecca released her daughter and rushed to her husband. “David…” she choked out.

She pleaded, “Mr. Lambert, please, I’m begging you. If this goes on, his hand will really be broken!”

Blake only tightened his grip.

Rebecca begged, “Skylar, even if we’re not your biological parents, we still raised you. How can you be so cold and not say a word?”

She could tell Skylar held a special place in Blake’s heart. If Skylar said something, he would surely let them go.

To be fair, Rebecca had treated her somewhat kindly in the past. But she was too weak, always blindly following David.

Skylar took a deep breath. “Blake, let him go. Don’t dirty your hands.”

At that moment, Freya, who had been watching quietly and piecing everything together, finally stepped forward.

She locked eyes with Elianna briefly, but both quickly looked away.

She said, “Blake, no matter what, he’s still Skylar’s adoptive father. Let it go, just this once.”

Blake released his grip.

David was drenched in sweat from the pain, cradling/his hand and panting heavily on the floor.

“Skylar, let’s go.” Blake didn’t want her to deal with this vile family any longer.

Skylar stood up with Adam in her arms.

It was only then that Elianna noticed. Skylar had brought Adam here.

Suddenly, Elianna lost control and lunged at Skylar. “Give me back my child! Give my baby back!”

She knew Yosef cared so much about this bastard. As long as its identity remained hidden, the child was still hers.

Chapter 141

With the child, she still had a shot at turning things around. But Skylar didn’t move.

Yosef grabbed the crazed Elianna, keeping her from getting anywhere near Adam.
