Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 316


    Chapter 316 Serves Her Right!


    To Eilis’ credit, she would not let some old woman walk all over her. Scowling, she rebuked, “Oh,


    really? Your Bobby is also the same gremlin who stole O’Connor’s harvest and beat up other kids every


    few days. in a week, ain’t he? How many peopleined to the vige head about this? I lost count.


    Now you’re telling me the samed is somehow incapable of lying?”


    Mrs. Boebert’s eyes widened in rage. Livid, she knocked over their potatoes to the ground.

    ring, Eilis yelled, “What the heck!?”


    Everyone in the vige knew just how much trouble Mrs. Boebert posed. She had always been the type


    to bully others with her seniority.


    “You just used my grandson without proof, Eilis!” Mrs. Boebert shrieked. She yanked Bobby’s arm


    and pulled him into the fray, her wrinkled finger training at a little sore spot on his forehead. “You see


    this? Bobby has never-I say never!-been bullied by anyone all his life, so how about one of you do


    some exining right now before I drag this out all day!?”


    Eilis was about to repartee when Deirdre tugged on her arm. “Allow me, Madame Russell.”


    “No, sweetie! Go back inside and ignore her,” she whispered back. “Mrs. Boebert doesn’t listen or talk.


    sense. She’s nuts! She isn’t going to walk away no matter what you do unless it’s exactly as she wants


    it. You won’t win in an argument with her, guaranteed, so leave her to me. Besides… I don’t believe you


    have it in you to hurt a child, Dee Dee. I’m 100% confident about this!”


    Deirdre’s eyes watered. When was thest time anyone had that much faith in her character?


    It was precisely that same unconditional faith from the older woman thatpelled her to step in and


    stop the whole thing from spiraling out of control.


    “I was the cause of this thing, so I’ll settle it,” Deirdre replied, her grip tightening.


    Turning back to Mrs. Boebert, she raised her voice, “It was my fault that your grandson got hurt,


    ma’am. I think an apology for that alone is fair. But! Your grandson will have to say he’s sorry, too.”


    She pointed at the bandage on her forehead. “Your grandson mocked me while I was minding my own.


    business in my yard and threw a rock at me. He caused this injury. Doesn’t that count for something?”


    Mrs. Boebert’s expression turned stormy. It was as though she had regained whatever misguided


    bravado she had at the beginning. “Who the h’ll cares if you got a little cut on your forehead when the


    rest of your face already looks like an ident? Can you really me kids for throwing rocks at you


    when you look like a freakshow?”


    She scoffed mockingly. “H*ll, Bobby could whack you with a stick, and it still doesn’t mean you can just


    hit back! You’re an adult, for Christ’s sake! You’re literally the bigger person. So be the bigger person!


    Jesus, it’s like you have no shame!”


    Deirdre’s face turned pale, but Eilis turned red. “So, that gremlin is the one responsible for your


    injury!?”.


    She yanked Deirdre away and shielded her with her body. Her voice was shaking in a fury. “Boebert,


    you dreadful bag of bones! There’s being insensible, and then there’s this! What would happen if your


    tyrannical little gremlin caused a concussion to Dee Dee, huh? Do you even have the money to pay for


    her medical bills?”


    Mrs. Boebert was almost choked into silence, but she recovered quickly enough to sneer. “Who the hell


    cares about what-ifs when that she-devil is obviously fine right now? Besides, you all made it sound like


    it’s some godd med critical condition. How the hell am I supposed to know if that’s true when you had


    that all covered behind some bandage? Maybe you aren’t even hurt! Maybe this is all a big, fat


    nder!” Deirdre drew a deep breath and yanked her bandage away.


    Her gash-red, sore, and very swollenid bare in front of them. “Happy now? Was it nder? You tell


    me!”


    A crowd had begun to pool around them. The attention somehow added fuel to Mrs. Boebert’s fire. ”


    What’s this supposed to mean, huh? Oh, so this is what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to make a


    scene, so I’ll look like the bad guy here! Aww, shucks! Who knew a youngdy like you could be a


    world-ss schemer? No wonder God took your mother away from you and punished you with that


    face! Serve you right!”


    All colors were drained out of Deirdre’s face.


    Eilis’s fury reached a boiling point. “How dare you!? Boebert, you crazy, heartless broad! I’ve been very


    patient with you only because you’re an old bag of bones on your way out, but you sh*t all over my


    goodwill with that foul, disgusting mouth!”


    “You hear that, everyone!?” Mrs. Boebert shrieked before falling on her butt and squeezing crocodile


    tears out of her eyes. “She thinks she can bully a helpless old woman just because her son’s a college


    graduate with some fancy job in the city!


    “She thinks she’s better than me now! Did it ur to her that I was a widow very early on in my life?


    Does she care that my child’s been working out there, leaving me alone here? Does it matter to her


    that my precious grandson is all I have now?


    “No! She’s probably d that even a blind woman can walk all over me! Oh, God, why are my lots so


    bad? Have You no pity for meeeeee!?”
