"What’s the matter? Wasn’t my husband’s warning to you two this morning deep enough that you still seek to humiliate yourselves?"
Her gaze swept over the gathering at the party, and with a smile, she said, "This place is full of dignitaries from various countries with no simple identities. Are you sure you want to disgrace yourselves here? If you lose face this time, it won’t just be a matter of embarrassing yourselves in front of me, but internationally."
She looked at Daisy Thompson with a smile that was not quite a smile, and a gleeful expression emerged in her eyes, "If others find out that the wife of the great musician Cam Green has embarrassed herself internationally, I wonder if you’ll be able to keep that hard-won position as Mrs. Green."
Elly Campbell’s latter words were merely a probe to verify her suspicions about Daisy Thompson.
Sure enough, as soon as Elly finished speaking, a flicker of fear and unease crossed the depths of Daisy’s eyes.
This tinge of fear was not feigned but truly stemmed from deep within her eyes.
That made Elly even more certain that Daisy’s status as Mrs. Green was newly acquired and that she had come to seek out her family’s island owner with such a fresh claim to the title, prompting Elly to be extra cautious.
Daisy’s face briefly turned pale, then they heard Sophia Green say, "Mrs. Jones, my mother and I have come to sincerely apologize to you for our ignorant and foolish behavior before."
Elly raised an eyebrow as if she had heard some grand joke, observing the two women.
The expressions on both of their faces were utterly sincere, so much so that even Elly found it hard to doubt them.
If it weren’t for their previous actions being so outrageous, she might have actually believed them.
Daisy opened her mouth, her expression tinged with a hint of regret, and that term "Elly" made Campbell feel slightly nauseated.
Seeing that Daisy had cast her eyes down dimly and let out a soft sigh, she said:
"All these years, I’ve neglected Adam and his sister, and I don’t know where I got the confidence to think that Adam would forgive me, and I was foolish enough to say those things that upset you."
She covertly gauged Elly’s expression, cursing inwardly when she saw no particular reaction, but she continued to put on that pitiful and all-too-late remorseful facade, saying:
"Adam’s attitude today has been a stark wake-up call. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother, so by what right do I expect my son to easily forgive me? Isn’t that right, Elly?"
Elly’s eyebrows moved slightly, but she remained silent.
Daisy felt that her patience would soon be worn thin by Elly, but when she thought of her plan, she forcefully endured.
For Sophia’s happiness and to secure her position as Mrs. Green, she had to tolerate this wretched Elly Campbell.
As long as her plan succeeded today, Campbell would be doomed to live in the mire forever, unable to hold her head high.
After comforting herself this way, Daisy once again lowered herself and earnestly said to Elly:
"I know you don’t like me, but I don’t blame you; it’s my own fault, after all. Elly, you are a good kid. I’m too ashamed to see Adam again, so I’ve come to you shamelessly. I hope you can relay a message to Adam for me. Mom is sorry, and she won’t have the face to see him anymore. I just hope he won’t be angry with his mother, okay?"
Elly seemed not to expect Daisy to say these things, and a clear surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.
