She greeted him quietly and said nothing more.
Elly Campbell noticed that Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green’s ability to recover was extraordinarily strong. Last time on the island, they had lost face in a rather "spectacular" manner, and it was all because they had tried to scheme against her, only to be outmaneuvered by her.
Unexpectedly, they now seemed so indifferent, as if nothing had happened, facing them with composed expressions.
Elly Campbell couldn’t help but mentally give a thumbs up to the thickness of their skins.
Recalling how Adam Jones had relentlessly pursued her, his skin as thick as if it cost him nothing, he probably hadn’t inherited anything from Daisy Thompson except for this thick skin — a true inheritance from his mother.
Adam Jones felt a tightening in his scalp from the aunt-like smile coming from his wife.
Why was his wife looking at him like that?
He squinted at Elly Campbell, who also gave him a meaningful smile, and the couple tacitly agreed to ignore the two shameless individuals in front of them.
Seeing the couple exchanging glances made Daisy Thompson’s mood sour, and she raised her voice intentionally, saying,
"Adam, what a coincidence, are you here to buy calligraphy and painting too?"
No sooner had Daisy Thompson finished speaking than the shop manager came into the cafe, holding a packaged calligraphy scroll by Zhao Mengfu.
Upon seeing Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green, he nodded politely before walking over to Adam Jones and handed over the calligraphy scroll.
"Mr. Jones, here is the calligraphy scroll you requested."
Adam Jones took it and glanced sideways at Elly Campbell, saying, "Let’s go."
With such crisp dismissal, Daisy Thompson’s face darkened unnaturally, but remembering Sophia Green’s admonition, she forcibly held back.
Only after sending Adam Jones and his wife off did the manager come back.
"Mrs. Green, Miss Green, what do you two need?"
Compared to his constraint in front of Adam Jones, the manager seemed much more at ease in front of these two women.
Remembering the calligraphy scroll that Adam Jones had bought, Daisy Thompson said, "I want to buy the same one as President Jones."
The manager’s expression stiffened for a moment upon hearing Daisy Thompson’s request.
Everything in their store was a unique masterpiece from famous artists, each item one of a kind, which justified their high prices.
This was something well known to anyone familiar with their store.
This was the first time he had heard such an unusual request.
The manager looked toward Sophia Green, the newly famous actress he knew, who despite being the daughter of the great musician Cam Green, insisted on a down-to-earth rural girl’s story, deceiving fans and the public, which made it hard to feel good about her.
Remembering the Twitter post that was just removed from Hot Search yesterday, although it was that actress Yin Qin intentionally slandering Sophia Green, who could guarantee Sophia Green didn’t harbor intentions of seducing Adam Jones?
However, the man already had a beautiful wife, who was even prettier than Sophia Green — who would bother with you throwing yourself at them.
Now even needing to pick the same gift, treating antiques as if shopping for groceries.
For such people, the manager had no interest in accommodating, thus his enthusiasm was naturally not as patient as it had been with Adam Jones.
"Mrs. Green, that is an authentic calligraphy scroll by Zhao Mengfu, the only one of its kind in the world; there isn’t another."
Daisy Thompson completely missed the sarcasm in the manager’s tone and said,
"One of a kind, eh? That must cost quite a bit of money."
