Sophia Green had never expected Elly Campbell to show her such disrespect in front of Douglas Turnbaugh, and her face contorted with rage in an instant.
But being a highly skilled actress and winner of the Best Actress award, she had a much wider range of roles compared to Sophie Baker, who frequently played the white lotus character.
Her twisted expression only lasted for less than a second before she regained composure, "Miss Campbell is quite the joker, aren’t you afraid that I’ll get angry?"
"Why would I care if you’re angry? Besides, who told you I was joking?"
Elly Campbell straightforwardly fired back in a hostile tone, which surprised Helen Melendy standing by.
She knew that although her friend didn’t like to be slighted in front of others, openly showing such disdain was something new.
Even when she spoke to her half-sister from an extramarital affair previously, she was harsh in words but gentle in demeanor, exhibiting a false warmth that was all skin and no flesh.
This time, however, she was too direct toward the actress.
Could it be... had she guessed correctly? Was this actress setting her sights on Adam Jones, that swine?
"Elly Campbell, don’t go too far!"
The decorum that Sophia Green had struggled to maintain on her face was completely undone by Elly’s words.
Elly ignored her protest and continued, "Besides Miss Green, Mrs. Green is here too, isn’t she?"
She remembered the silhouette of a woman she had seen outside the villa earlier, which she initially thought was Daisy Thompson.
Thinking it unlikely to be such a coincidence, and since the figure disappeared when she looked again, she had thought she was mistaken.
Now, seeing Sophia Green here, she confirmed that she hadn’t been mistaken earlier.
Ha! Like a bad penny. She had even dogged her home island’s leader all the way to the island.
If Adam’s whereabouts weren’t deliberately leaked, it would be impossible for Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green, the mother-daughter duo, to know he was here on vacation; obviously, someone had informed them.
As for who would leak Adam’s movements to Daisy Thompson, especially since this was a spur-of-the-moment trip without prior preparation...
Elly’s gaze narrowed slightly as a chill accompanied by a dangerous aura slowly seeped from the depths of her eyes.
She looked at Sophia Green’s face and curved her lips coldly, "It seems we need to replace some servants in the Jones family. Otherwise, we won’t even know when cats and dogs sneak in causing trouble."
As soon as Sophia heard Elly’s words, her already shaky composure was tinged with a hint of guilt.
Forcing calm, Sophia looked at Elly and said with a forced smile, "Miss Campbell really thinks the worst of people. What’s wrong with taking my mother on a trip? Why bring up the household servants? Are you always so suspicious by nature?"
Faced with Sophia’s sarcastic taunts, Elly didn’t get angry; in fact, she even nodded quite frankly.
"Yes, indeed. So be careful, Miss Green. As a public figure, throwing yourself at someone is not a good look. It could affect your image as an award-winning actress who has struggled up from the countryside. You wouldn’t want to accidentally return to square one overnight."
Watching as Sophia Green’s expression, already difficult to maintain, contorted again momentarily at the mention of "struggled up from the countryside,"
She knew Elly was hinting at the consequences of her artificially constructed persona being exposed.
