She stepped forward and pulled Sophie Baker back. "Why are you saying this to my brother? Are you trying to humiliate yourself?"
Even Elly Campbell couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, watching Sophie Baker’s face contort from Lily Jones’ words. She couldn’t resist giving Lily a thumbs up.
Lily Jones, dragging Sophie Baker behind her, stormed out of the Jones Corporation. Along the way, many people looked at them with strange eyes, which made Lily feel terribly embarrassed.
Sophie Baker was even more furious, her face twisted with anger. What did the idiotic Lily mean by those words?
She, the second young mistress of the Campbell family, was in what way inferior to Lily Jones?
What does ’humiliating yourself’ mean?
If she really wanted to marry Christopher Moore, could Lily’s simple and manipulable mind ever outwit her?
With this thought, the image of Christopher Moore’s face involuntarily popped into Sophie’s mind.
Though not as handsome as Adam Jones, he was top-notch, and as the sole heir of the Moore Clan, his status and background were no worse than Adam’s.
What a pity that the idiot Lily had gotten there first.
She looked at Lily, unable to understand what was so appealing about her, that Christopher Moore treated her like a treasure.
If she could be with Christopher...
The idea suddenly surfaced in Sophie Baker’s mind, though it was not intense.
She had invested too much effort in Adam Jones to give up easily.
She absolutely refused to watch Elly Campbell live a better life than hers.
With this thought, she forcibly suppressed the irritation she felt towards Lily, and once again adopted that pitiable look.
"Lily, let it go. Adam has made up his mind to get back together with my sister. Stop trying to match us up, just... just consider that Adam and I were not fated to be together," she said, her eyes reddening as she turned her head away.
Lily Jones, who had been extremely angry just a moment ago, thinking about Sophie’s disdain for her own husband, felt somewhat disgusted, but now seeing her , her heart softened.
After being humiliated by her brother , how could she still blame her?
Her disdain for her own husband was inconsequential, at least it implied she wouldn’t be fixated on Christopher.
Thinking this, Lily Jones felt much more comfortable.
Remembering Sophie’s words just now, she showed a touch of unwillingness and then comforted Sophie, saying,
"Sophie, don’t be sad. I know my brother too well. He’s just too proud. Since Elly Campbell initiated the divorce, he can’t stand it. Right now, he must be thinking of reconciling with Elly only to kick her to the curb later. When that time comes, I’ll help you get together with my brother."
Sophie Baker got just the words she wanted, even though she didn’t take seriously Lily’s claim that Adam only reconciled with Elly because of his pride.
But, as long as Lily still intended to match her with Adam, it wouldn’t be so easy for Elly to have a good time.
"Lily, I know you mean well for me, but my sister has had a child with Adam. How could he just let go? Don’t anger your brother because of me. You saw what happened just now... I’m afraid it might ruin the relationship between you and Adam because of me."
Her words sounded considerate, but the underlying message was clearly provocative towards Lily.
Sure enough, just thinking of the way her brother had unreservedly defended Elly Campbell in the office earlier made Lily’s teeth itch with frustration.
Her brother used to be so good to her, indulging her in everything, but ever since that despicable Elly Campbell reappeared, her brother had changed, becoming completely unreasonable!
