Chapter 59: 059. The Original Vicious Female Supporting Character_1 Chapter 59: 059. The Original Vicious Female Supporting Character_1 How could it matter whether she didn’t believe him or if she misunderstood his relationship with Sophie? Had he ever explained himself? Why, then, was he in such a rush to explain now?
He felt somewhat annoyed with himself for that unnecessary action just now.
After a while, seeing that Adam Jones had no intention of leaving, Elly Campbell started to feel restless.
She stood up abruptly from the sofa, ready to leave, but Adam Jones grasped her, “Where are you going?”
Adam’s behavior disgusted Elly deeply. She thought he was really being too meddlesome.
“Don’t worry, just going to the restroom, I won’t be troubling your Sophie.”
At this point, Adam could not be bothered to explain any further, as Elly had forcefully pulled her hand from his grasp.
“If President Jones really doesn’t trust me, I don’t mind if you accompany me to the ladies’ room.”
The full-on sarcasm on her face became increasingly unbearable to Adam the more he looked.
This time, Adam did not follow her, but he watched anxiously as Elly headed to the restroom before he finally averted his gaze.
Just as Elly pushed open the restroom door, she ran into Sophie Baker, who was coming out.
She was dressed in a pure white strapless evening gown from a renowned designer, and around her neck hung a uniquely designed diamond necklace. Without asking, it was clear that the entire ensemble was a creation of James Campbell.
Sophie hadn’t expected to encounter Elly Campbell in the restroom, and she instinctively shivered inside.
She had experienced Elly’s harshness and aggression before.
She was terrified even when James Campbell was around, let alone now when the two of them stood face to face alone.
Such fear, emanating from the depths of her heart, was not something she could overcome by simply feigning composure.
Though Elly was only two months older than Sophie, perhaps because of the different family environments they grew up in, Elly’s presence was enough to crush Sophie to pieces.
Elly’s gaze did not linger on Sophie. She coldly curled her lips, preparing to walk past Sophie and enter, when she heard Sophie daringly utter a call—
The voice was very soft, trembling and wobbly, truly pitiable, but unfortunately, Elly was the least sympathetic.
She was also most annoyed to hear these two words from Sophie’s mouth.
She had never thought that the term “sister” could be such a repugnant and disgusting address to her.
Her eyes suddenly grew colder, the sharpness in them was intimidating, causing Sophie’s legs to weaken.
Immediately regretting using the wrong address, Sophie knew all too well that Elly hated hearing that word the most.
Heaven knows she had no wish to greet her at all; she did it only out of fear that Elly would find another opportunity to accuse her of having no manners, forcing herself to greet her, and now…
This time, Elly did not ignore her, but stopped in her tracks, turning fully to face her.
“It seems you truly don’t learn your lesson without some discipline?”
“Sister, no, Miss Campbell, I…I…”
Elly was just standing still, not doing anything, but Sophie was already so frightened that her face turned pale as if she would fall over without the washbasin to support her.
“So timid? I really can’t understand how Adam Jones could be attracted to someone of your caliber. Do men really like your type?”
Elly laughed, feeling that she was probably like the most vicious female antagonist in those novels her younger cousin sister read.
Sharp-tongued and arrogant, with condescending pride and treating people as beneath her, bullying the pity-inducing gentle heroine day in and day out, only to be overwhelmingly defeated by the male lead in the end.
