Lawyer Thompson was Jenna Clark’s private attorney, handling various business legal documents and affairs for her.
"Miss Campbell, you are too polite," he said.
Elly Campbell walked with Lawyer Thompson, preparing to go inside, when another black stretch limousine pulled up at the café entrance.
Getting out of the car were not only James Campbell and his legal representative, but also Melody Baker and her daughter.
When they saw her, the three of them looked displeased, and the look in their eyes was so fierce it was as if they wanted to devour her.
As for their attitude, Elly Campbell took no notice and sneered, her lips curling up as she turned and took the lead into the café, releasing a natural aura that seemed to suppress James Campbell and his companions.
Following behind her, James Campbell and his two companions felt their own presence overshadowed by Elly Campbell’s, which was something they could hardly stand.
Still, thinking that after today Elly Campbell would be ousted from the Campbell Corporation, they managed to suppress their discontent.
"Miss Campbell, I have drafted the agreement for the transfer of the equity shares. Please have a look," Lawyer Thompson said as he handed the document from his briefcase to Elly Campbell, who did not even glance at it, simply tossing it in front of James Campbell, saying, "Take a look."
James Campbell glared at her sharply before eagerly stretching out his hand to take the agreement and pass it to his own lawyer, instructing him to "Check it carefully."
That wretched girl and her mother are alike, full of devious schemes. The fact that she was transferring all her shares to him so easily made him feel uneasy.
The lawyer quickly finished reviewing the agreement and assured CEO Campbell, "There are no issues with this agreement."
Elly Campbell ignored the people in front of her, took a sip of the coffee that the waiter had brought in, and said nonchalantly, "If there’s no issue, then let’s sign it."
"Hmph, are you that desperate for money? What’s the rush?" Melody Baker said with a look full of derision. The thirty-five percent shares of the Campbell Corporation were worth billions. To help her brother James gather this amount, she had sold all her own properties.
Fortunately, with these thirty-five percent shares, James would have absolute say in the Campbell Corporation, and from then on, she and her daughter could walk with their heads high in the Campbell family.
Elly Campbell glanced sideways at Melody Baker and said, "Money is not an issue for me. I just don’t want to work with idiots and risk contaminating my own intelligence."
"Elly Campbell, you..."
Sophie Baker had been restraining her anger towards Elly Campbell, but these words stung her, making her see red in an instant.
Remembering the humiliating words Adam Jones had for her because of Elly Campbell, she wished she could trample Elly into the mire.
Yet, Elly Campbell merely continued to sip her coffee quietly, completely ignoring Sophie Baker, leaving her even more frustrated.
She repeatedly consoled herself with the thought that soon the Campbell Corporation would be hers. Elly Campbell would have nothing, and she wouldn’t be allowed to return to the Campbell family home. With that mind, she felt slightly better.
Concealing the anger in her eyes, she looked at Elly Campbell and sneered, "You are quite the ungrateful creature. No matter what, you’re still your father’s daughter, and yet you have the audacity to demand so much money from him."
In her view, as a daughter, Elly Campbell should freely give her shares to her father as a sign of filial piety.
Elly Campbell calmly set down her coffee cup and looked up at Sophie Baker. Perhaps it was because of the earlier reprimands from Elly Campbell that now, as Elly looked her way, Sophie Baker couldn’t help but flinch involuntarily.
