When it comes to playing the white lotus, no one can outperform Elly Campbell.
Currently, only a few people know that Daisy Thompson is Adam Jones’s biological mother, her mother-in-law.
In the eyes of outsiders, these two people with absolutely no grievances, yet Daisy Thompson resorts to such despicable means to scheme against others, which is utterly contemptible.
Could it be expected that Daisy Thompson confesses she does not like Elly Campbell as her daughter-in-law, which is why she’s plotting against her son’s marriage?
If that were the case, Daisy Thompson’s past affair, abandoning her children to take care of another man, would be known by everyone present tonight.
These people come from all over the world, so naturally, the whole world would know about her shameful past deeds.
Then, Daisy Thompson would become the rat crossing the street that everyone in this circle shouts to hit; nobody would look at her favorably.
Elly Campbell knew she dared not admit she was Adam Jones’s biological mother.
She could only admit it was all for Sophia Green, and although such behavior is disagreeable, she could still gain a good reputation for doing everything for her stepdaughter.
Selfish and self-serving, Daisy Thompson knew how to choose what was best for herself.
Indeed, Elly Campbell easily guessed her right.
Watching the crowd’s faces filled with reproach, disdain, and scorn, Daisy Thompson clenched her teeth secretly, her fists tightly balled, and began with a hoarse voice:
"Sophia admires President Jones, but President Jones is already married. I saw her declining food and drink with worry, and I felt so heartbroken that I resorted to this despicable way of scheming against Mrs. Jones..."
She paused, knowing that Sophia Green could hear everything inside as though seeing Sophia’s furious expression, her body trembled with it.
But now that she had come this far, even if she had to crawl, she could only crawl to the end; otherwise, her son and Elly Campbell would not let her off easily.
"Although Sophia is not my flesh and blood, I have raised her since she was a child, and I love her as my own daughter. I couldn’t bear to see her declining food and drink, so I resorted to this last resort..."
She bit her lips tightly, playing the perfect image of a stepmother who is helpless to do evil to make her stepdaughter happy.
As expected, while her actions were unacceptable, more people turned their attention to her image of making unconditional sacrifices.
Moreover, many people interpreted Daisy Thompson’s despicable acts as being coerced by the stepdaughter’s situation, and in the end, the mastermind was attributed to Sophia Green.
Of course, among these people, apart from those who knew what kind of person Daisy Thompson was, others were really deceived by her.
Their gaze on her no longer held the previous contempt, and they even felt that having such a stepmother as Sophia Green was hard-earned from a previous life.
It must be said, Daisy Thompson’s move was powerful.
She not only covered up her past scandals but also crafted herself into a touching role of a good stepmother, while throwing all the blame for today’s misdeeds onto Sophia Green.
After all, she’s just a helpless stepmother; since ancient times, a stepmother’s life has been tough, so not only do people not blame her, they even begin to sympathize with her.
Elly Campbell felt that Daisy Thompson was quite adept, but unfortunately, her opponent was Sophia Green, not the mistreated stepdaughters oppressed by their stepmothers if it were, tonight might have indeed been easily fooled by her.
Elly Campbell’s goal was not to deal with Daisy Thompson personally; she had sorted her out so many times before, and Daisy Thompson remained as active as a resilient cockroach, jumping up and down.
It’s just that her sympathies come quickly, and Daisy Thompson doesn’t care, so no matter how they ridicule her with words, she would at most be angry, which wouldn’t strike her down.
