Delmont looked at Eira, and his heart was in chaos at that moment. In fact, according to his understanding o f Eira, he did not believe that Eira would push Brooke down the stairs. However, whether he believed it or not was already not important anymore. What mattered was Brooke! Thinking of that, Delmont looked at Eira. "It's all your doing! If anything bad were to happen to Brooke, Eira, don’t you think you'll b e able to live a good life! Go back home immediately and never set foot here again!"
After Delmont said that, he quickly chased after Joy and Brooke. At that moment, all he had eyes for was Brooke's safety. He did not care about Eira at all. The car sped off and went to the hospital. Seeing her daughter was sent into the emergency room, Joy bawled and made a fuss at Delmont with tears in her eyes.
"Delmont, after I returned from studying abroad, I was still so young and had not been married once. If it weren't for you, I would have had a bright future! Because I fell in love with you, I married you despite everything. Little by little, I helped you build Delmont and Joy Fashion Company into the scale it is today. M y request has been very simple since the beginning. I just wanted to properly deal with your ex-wife and the daughter you had with her, and not them ruin our lives. However, what did you do? You can’t even do this one thing! Delmont, I'm telling you, if anything happens to Brooke today, I certainly will skin Eira!"
Joy grabbed Delmont by his collar and roared at him. Delmont just hung his head and let Joy hit and yell at him as she pleased without even daring to utter a single sound. It was not until after Joy was done screaming and venting her emotions that she calmed down slightly. Delmont saw that Joy had calmed down, then only he dared to say, "Don't worry. If anything were to happen to Brooke, even I would skin Eira, let alone you. I had just scolded her just now. She shouldn't dare to come to our house again. If she dared to come again, I'll definitely beat her and chase her out."
When Joy saw the way he looked, she just rolled her eyes in anger. She was originally prepared to just let it go, but she suddenly had an idea. She could not help but stretch her hand to grab Delmont's arm. "How did your meeting with Mister Qualls go? Has he agreed to invest in our company?"
When Delmont suddenly heard Joy mention Mister Qualls, he involuntarily knitted his eyebrows tightly." Why did you mention him? That old man is truly evil. He agreed to invest, but he requested for us to send Brooke over for him to play with for a few days. Are you not clear on what he meant by playing? Even if m y capital chain has ruptured and my company has to b e closed, I also can’t let Brooke do this kind of thing! You're her mother. How can you still think of this matter?" said Delmont, as he looked at Joy with his eyes filled with incredulity.
When Joy heard Mister Qualls mention this request, she was so angered that she almost took a knife and went over to stab him. Delmont was so scared that he did not dare to say anything anymore, so why would Joy bring it up herself at that moment?
Joy looked at Delmont and whispered in his ears." Delmont, are you a fool? Brooke is our precious little princess. How can she go and do such a thing?
However, Mister Qualls just wanted a pretty little girl. I t was not that he had to have Brooke. Don't you have another daughter?"
She had long been unhappy with Eira. Originally, Eira almost never appeared in front of her in the past years, so Joy just let it go. However, that day, Eira actually made Brooke fall from the top of the stairs. Joy could no longer endure it anymore! No matter if Eira was the one who pushed Brooke, she still had something to do with it. Joyce certainly has to make Eira pay a price.
When Delmont heard what Joy said, he was clearly shocked. He suddenly leapt up from the chair, stunned. "What did you say?"
