Chapter 398 The Four Most Prominent Families

Seeing Elizabeth ignored her completely. Shelby was dissatisfied with her and fell slightlyuncomfortable.

She sat upright and tidied her hair.

The housekeeper had already handed her shawl over, so she took it and wrapped it around herself.

“Dom, look at her. She doesn’t have any manners at all. I was talking to her, but she ignored me andwalked off.”

Meanwhile, Dominic sat on his hospital bed expressionlessly. Earlier on, he saw the caller ID onElizabeth’s phone. It was Matthew.

Whenever he called her, she would look like she had lost her soul.

Disgruntled, he glanced at the television on the wall.

It was talking about the deat

Hilton Group’s construction site. His lips curved into a faint smile. This would make Matthew busy forquite

some time

Shelby also saw the news, so she hurriedly took the remote control to turn up the volume.

“Hilton Group is in trouble. It’s that piece of land at the eastern district”

Her face broke into a trin when she save the news.

“Serves Matthew right Bark then, your grandfather wanted you to get that piece of land, and he scoldedyou when you couldn’t get it. It’s

gratifying now that this had happened”

Dominic remained silent Shelby knew he could not see but could still hear the news.

“Dom, did you hear the news from the television just

Dominic felt around for the pillow and slowly leaned back “Mom, this is Hilton Group’s matter. We can’tparticipate nor judge this.”

He was the type of person who took a clear stance on things.

“Shelby stood up and paced the room.

“This couch is not meant for sleeping. My legs are sore from bending for a long time, and it even feelsuncomfortable when I walk.”

It was also because of that couch that Dominic could not bear for Elizabeth to stay overnight, as hewas afraid she would not be able to get a

good night’s rest

“Mom. Ly can take care of me now, so you don’t need to come to the hospital anymore.”

Shelby usually had a busy schedule and had several activities to attend since socialites loved to askher out.

She was busy every day, so she must be bored from being stuck in the hospital.

Shelby sighed. Just the previous day, she went to a tea party, but the people there were all pitying her.They were all talking about what she should do in the future and how her other family members wouldtake over Campbell Corporation

Then, they started to talk about her blind son and how she was very miserable since she would have totake care of him for the rest of her life.

As someone who had never been through such patronization, she felt an increasing urge to leave thetea party the more she heard them talk.

Ultimately, she walked off, ending on bad terms with them.

She finally saw their true colors. During the time her son was in a high position, they all ingratiatethemselves with her. However, when all

accident befell him, they hoped he would be blind forever.

She was in no mood to go to events, as she had a more important thing to do, which was toaccompany her son.

“Mom, did you hear what I said?”

“Dom, I’m your mother. You can’t stop me from coming. You don’t let anyone from the family comehere, not even your grandmother and

father. They are all waiting for my news every day. I need to come here.”

Just then, Rosalie walked in. She was supporting Linda as they entered the ward.

At the sight of the elderly woman, Shelby immediately straightened her back. The Ferguson family wasone of the four most prominent families in Mistwood. The Campbell family was second in position,followed by the Ferguson family and the Johnson family.

The four most prominent families maintained a decent relationship with one another, as they wouldusually meet during their socialite

gatherings.

“Old Mrs. Ferguson, why are you here?”

Clad in a silver dress, Linda looked elegant.

She looked at the man on the hospital bed. “I came to the hospital for a checkup, and I heard fromNicolas that Dominic was staying in the

hospital. Since our families have been friends for generations, I naturally have to come and payDominic a visit.”

Her housekeeper brought in some fruits and health supplements which the Campbell family’shousekeeper took over.

At that moment, Elizabeth had ended her call. That lively scene was what she witnessed upon walkingtoward the ward.

She stood by the doorway, pondering whether or not she should enter the room.

Rosalie called her, “Lizzy, you must be fired from taking care of Dominic! I also bought you some healthsupplements Remember to eat them!”
