Chapter 56. Rigid?

"Mom, why do you need to reprimand her?" John said, he didn't even realize he was trying to protect Elly. "You said Elly is unemployed and clingy, that also means that you are angry with me because my work was suspended and I am temporarily unemployed. Elly still have to go and find a job, why can't you be nicer to her?"

"What does she have to make you love her that much? She is just a comet that brought us nothing but bad luck, a useless and clingy thing." Ms. Elliot shouted angrily.

 "What she has done for us hasn't changed your thoughts about her? I don't think you are that rigid." John stood up and faced Mrs. Elliot.

"Rigid? Old fashioned?" Ms. Elliot was stunned when her son argued with her. Hatred filled her mind, Mrs. Elliot looked towards Elly, her eyes were full of hatred . "I will never accept her. This house is mine, I have the right to decide who stays and who leaves. You, get out of my house!!!"

Ms. Elliot pointed straight to the door.
