Ella let out a faint, cold laugh. "Father, Eric, there's no need to get upset with people like her. After all, every curse she's hurled has turned back on her. That's karma, isn't it? Miss Leah, I hope you've learned a lesson—watch your words and be a little kinder."
Ella's composure was remarkable, and Eric and Lucas exchanged a glance, silently agreeing to leave without further engagement. They walked away with Ella, unwilling to waste another moment on the vile Julia.
But Julia couldn't bear Ella's calm words. She jumped up, pointing at Ella's retreating figure, shrieking curses. "You wretched girl! Everyone from Ava's line is dead! You and that bastard child will meet the same end! You'll all die miserable deaths!"
Onlookers turned to stare. Julia's twisted expression drew attention, and some recognized her.
