However, the first time magazine interviewed Daisy Thompson, her tone, both in and not so subtly in between the lines, did not suggest someone content with being low-key. Moreover, from the way she answered the reporters’ questions, it seemed as if it was the first time she had stepped into the limelight as Mrs. Green.
Why had she never appeared in the media before, only to accept interviews so high-profile later on?
Perhaps, it was because Cam Green had allowed it.
That is to say, the Daisy Thompson of the past might indeed have been what the outside world suggested—just Cam Green’s confidante, to put it bluntly, his mistress.
It might have been only recently that she had been legitimized.
Having seen the extremes of Daisy Thompson’s character, all the anomalies regarding her made Elly Campbell suspicious.
With that thought, she turned to Adam Jones and said,
"Have you ever felt that Daisy Thompson acquired the status of Mrs. Green only recently?"
Adam Jones would frown in disgust whenever he mentioned "Daisy Thompson", aware that his wife had a point, he too felt that Daisy Thompson’s status as Mrs. Green was somewhat shaky.
Elly Campbell shared her recent thoughts with Adam Jones, and then said,
"She has only just made a public appearance as Mrs. Green, and then she suddenly appeared before you without any warning. Even after being humiliated by us, she remained persistent. I always feel she has other motives."
Elly didn’t believe that Daisy Thompson came solely to see her son, Adam.
It wasn’t that she thought too poorly of human nature, but that Daisy Thompson was inherently devoid of it.
Even if she possessed a shred of humanity, she would not have left immediately after an affair without a hint of guilt, not even when her husband’s body was still warm—let alone abandoning her children.
So, a woman who disregarded her own young children for selfish desires, suddenly reappearing to find her son, Elly’s distrust was not unwarranted—Daisy Thompson was indeed that terrible.
When Adam heard what Elly was saying and thought about the recent discoveries his subordinates had made, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.
The people from back then had been quiet for so many years, but recently they seemed to be stirring again.
Although they appeared not to be close to Cam Green on the surface, upon a deeper investigation, he found that those people had a very good relationship with Cam Green in private. Now, Daisy Thompson suddenly showing up before him and appearing in public as Mrs. Green—was this really just a coincidence?
Seeing the icy coldness that suddenly flowed from Adam’s slightly narrowed eyes and his troubled expression, Elly asked worriedly,
"What’s wrong? Did you think of something?"
"It’s nothing. In any case, you should stay away from that woman. If she takes the initiative to provoke you, just handle her as you see fit, without worrying about me."
He had only just begun to see the outlines of the situation, and he did not want these matters to affect his beloved wife’s mood.
"There’s an island dance party tonight on the island; we could go have some fun."
Not wanting his wife to fret too much, Adam smoothly changed the subject.
Although Elly felt that Daisy Thompson’s intentions were impure, she didn’t delve any further and, seeing that Adam clearly did not want to discuss it anymore, she too dropped the subject.
Afterwards, the couple went to join their son for some fun.
When the two of them went to the beach, the Old Lady and young William Campbell were there, as were Harry Hall and Helen Melendy.
