She might not have recognized him before, but now, after over twenty years, she’s coming back to find her son. It’s not that Elly Campbell is cynical by nature, it’s just that Daisy Thompson is so shameless, Elly can’t help but suspect that woman has ulterior motives.
If that woman thinks she can use Elly to scheme against Adam Jones, then she’d better not blame Elly for not leaving her any dignity.
Having said that, Elly directly walked away.
"But my mom is Adam’s biological mother, your mother-in-law. Your attitude doesn’t seem right, does it?"
Sophia Green’s words carried an interrogative tone, and although her face appeared exceptionally frail and gentle, it seemed as if she was the one being bullied in comparison.
Perhaps it was because there were paparazzi around; that’s why she had to maintain her image.
But Elly was different. Even if she was now a street thug, she didn’t care about image at all.
"Sorry, my mother-in-law died when my husband was six, he told me that himself. Do you expect me, Miss Green, to doubt him and instead believe a stranger who has inexplicably come to acknowledge kinship?"
Her tone was flat, but there was a sharp intensity in her eyes that made Sophia Green subconsciously a bit frightened of her.
It also involuntarily reminded Sophia of that day on the cruise ship, when she had locked eyes with Adam Jones. They were the same eyes: cold, sharp, compelling.
"Furthermore, Miss Green, you are an outsider and may not understand the family dynamics of the Jones family. My husband doesn’t hold much status at home; he listens to everything I say. So, I’m very sorry, not only is Mrs. Green an imposter with ill intentions..."
She paused for a moment, her beautiful, sharp eyes narrowed slightly, instantly exuding a hint of dangerous aura.
"Even if she really was my mother-in-law, sorry, but I don’t want to acknowledge her. And even Adam can’t control me on that."
Sophia Green was stunned by Elly’s confident words, and then disbelief filled her eyes.
Had this woman lost her mind? What was she saying?
Adam Jones doesn’t hold status in the household? He listens to everything she says?
Was this woman delusional?
A man like Adam Jones, who is worshipped by people, who doesn’t want to grovel at his feet? Yet this woman had the audacity to say that he, the Head of the Jones family, had no standing there?
It’s as if there’s no limit to her bragging!
Sophia Green looked at Elly Campbell with undisguised sarcasm in her eyes.
"Miss Campbell really has a big mouth. Adam does whatever you say? If he hears this, I wonder if you’ll still be able to keep your position as Mrs. Jones."
"I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my position as Mrs. Jones, but I do know, even if I can’t, it certainly won’t be your place to take."
Elly spoke with a smile, directly pointing out the real intentions Sophia Green had for approaching her without mincing her words.
Sophia’s pupils contracted slightly, her face tensed up, and looking into Elly’s direct gaze, she felt somewhat unnerved.
Yet she managed to smile sarcastically, "Mrs. Jones really likes to throw around accusations. Anyway, Adam and I are nominally siblings, how could I possibly covet him?"
"As Miss Green said, it’s only nominal. Besides, my husband doesn’t even want to acknowledge that much. Only you are insistent on clinging to the label of siblings. I wonder what you’re trying to do."
It’s been a while since Elly had directly confronted someone , especially by tearing into someone’s facade.
