Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 65: Hospitalization for injuries

"Mrs. Taylor, please refrain from commenting on my family’s affairs," Brianna said coldly.

"Oh, putting on airs now? Where was this righteousness when your daughter was beating Ella or your son was stabbing her?" Mrs. Taylor retorted angrily. Brianna ignored her and turned to Ella. "I’ll have a servant bring some essentials and let Mrs. Lee stay here to take care of you. Is that alright?"

"No problem," Ella replied calmly.

Without another glance at Mrs. Taylor, Brianna turned and left. Mrs. Taylor, shaking with anger, took a while to calm down. She consoled Ella and stayed until the nurse finished bandaging her wounds and the servant arrived.

Ella had four stab wounds on her arm. Though they were bandaged, any movement caused intense pain.

Mrs. Lee helped Ella into clean clothes, looking sympathetically at the blood-stained ones. With the young master’s return, the young lady’s days seemed numbered.

By noon, the supermarket incident had been uploaded to the hottest forum, causing an immediate sensation. Not only was it a brutal case of a younger brother abusing his sister, but the main characters were also prominent figures: the eldest daughter and son of the Davis Group.

Ella’s and Kevin’s identities were quickly uncovered, with countless comments condemning Kevin’s cruelty and Brianna’s poor parenting, accusing her of allowing her children to abuse the daughter left by the first wife.

"The Most Vicious Stepson-Abusing-Sister Case in History!"

"All Stepmothers are Wicked! Both the Davis Group’s Second Miss and Young Master have assaulted Ms. Davis... Life in a wealthy family is truly hellish!"

"It’s terrifying! If it weren’t for that brave security guard, Ms. Davis might have lost her life!"

"Kevin’s brutality is appalling! This shows how Brianna usually raises her children!"

Within two hours, the video had millions of views, and major news outlets picked it up, causing the Davis Group’s stock price to plummet by five percent.

When Brianna received the news, she tried to have the video deleted, but it was too late. With millions having seen it, deletion was pointless.

Robert was in a meeting when he got the call. Hearing the news, he almost had a heart attack. His son was his pride and joy, and Ella was also a beloved daughter. Now, this incident had put them at odds, and Robert naturally sided with his son.

Given the prevalent gender bias in Country S, Robert was no exception. Kevin was the only son and heir to the Davis Group. How could Robert not favor him?

He called home to get Kevin’s side of the story and then called Ella.

Seeing Robert’s name on the caller ID, Ella smirked coldly. The facade of the doting father was about to crumble.

"Hello, Daddy," Ella answered softly.

"Ella, have you lost your mind? Why did you insult Kevin and your mother? Do you know that you provoked Kevin, causing him to hurt you? And now someone has posted the video online! The Davis Group’s stock has dropped by five percent! Are you trying to destroy our family business?"

Robert launched into a tirade as soon as he heard Ella’s voice.

Ella’s eyes flashed with a cold light, her voice filled with grievance. "Daddy... how can you say that about me? It was Kevin who hit me, cursed me, and stabbed me with a knife. If it weren’t for the security guard, I might have been killed! But why, Daddy, do you think it’s my fault and not Kevin’s for attacking me?"

Robert’s fury erupted. "You ungrateful girl! You still don’t see your mistake? You made your brother angry, and that’s why he lost control! As his older sister, can’t you just give in a little? Would it kill you to say fewer words?"

Ella’s heart turned icy. She had anticipated this. Robert’s affection for her was only because of her shares in the company and the fact that she had helped him secure a 5 billion dollar contract.

But when her interests clashed with his, Robert wouldn’t hesitate to throw her under the bus.

"Daddy, so if someone gets angry and stabs you, even tries to kill you, it’s your fault? Don’t you think that’s absurd?"

Ella spoke coldly, with no hint of the previous grievance, only a chilling determination.

She was done pretending. She would use ruthless means to deal with these scum, making them suffer, disgraced and ruined.

"You ungrateful brat, how dare you talk back to me? Have I spoiled you too much? Your brother is young and doesn’t understand, but you’re an adult! Ella, you will apologize to your brother!"

"Daddy, the whole world knows about this now. Everyone is condemning Kevin, not me. Do you really think I’m at fault? He’s young... is he three or six? No, he’s violent and wrong, so why do you blame me for everything?"

Ella felt a cold disappointment. Even after all she had done for Robert, he still didn’t see her value.

"Ella! How dare you contradict me? At the upcoming press conference, you will attend, and your brother will apologize publicly. But privately, you will apologize to him!" Robert roared, as if trying to knock some sense into his defiant daughter.

"You have let me down," Ella said, cutting off the call, tired and closing her eyes.

Mrs. Lee, watching Ella with concern, felt a pang of sympathy. In all her years as a servant, she had never seen such a pitiful young lady.

Attacked by her own brother and blamed by her father for it.

"Miss, would you like some more steak?" Mrs. Lee asked softly.

Ella shook her head. "No, thank you... I just need some quiet."

Mrs. Lee didn’t dare disturb her further, and soon Chloe and Charles arrived, their anger palpable upon seeing Ella’s bandaged arm.

Since Ella was resting, Chloe and Charles waited nearby.

At 5 PM that Sunday, Eric arrived at the designated private room at Celestial Feast.

As he opened the door, he saw a woman in a white dress sitting there. When she saw Eric, her eyes lit up with delight.

"Mr. Nelson!" The woman’s eyes sparkled. Every wealthy young woman in S City knew Eric; he was the dream man for many.

"Miss Taylor, you’re early. I apologize for being late," Eric said coolly as he sat down.

"No, not at all. I just arrived early. Mr. Nelson, what would you like to eat? I can order for you," Miss Taylor said, smiling gently. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Just then, Eric’s phone rang. He glanced at it and saw a message from Adam with a video attached.
