Thompson looked at the viciousness in Sophia Green’s eyes and guessed the jealousy in her heart, hardly suppressing a smug smile.
This burden was only arrogant in front of her because she could not leave her father.
But in front of someone more assertive and more influential with better connections, what could she do other than feel bitter?
Sophia Green looked down on Thompson, while Thompson equally despised Sophia Green.
In Thompson’s eyes, her only weakness was falling for Cam Green, loving him to the point of humiliating herself and tolerating his stepdaughter.
But aside from that, she had money and looks; how could she be worse than a burden?
This father and daughter duo was so presumptuous only because they knew she couldn’t leave Old Mr. Green.
At that moment, Thompson built a mighty fortress of mental strength and self-consolation in her mind, even moving herself deeply with her unparalleled devotion.
Seeing Sophia Green’s jealous and hideously twisted facial expression toward Elly Campbell, she maliciously curved her lips, as if deeming it not sour enough, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
Sophia Green’s tone was sharp, clearly irritated.
Inwardly, Thompson mocked her, finding the irony striking.
Ever since she discovered she was Adam Jones’ biological mother, this burden seemed to have found a shortcut to get closer to Adam Jones and had been inquiring about matters concerning him and Elly Campbell.
She thought that since she was so determined to secure Adam Jones, she would at least investigate Elly Campbell’s family background, yet she didn’t even know that Mason Clark was Elly’s grandfather.
Hah! She didn’t know where she got the confidence to think that Elly would be a child from an ordinary family.
Anyone could guess that her son, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, would never mingle with the commoners at the bottom.
How foolish and clueless!
Thompson internally scoffed, but her face bore an ambiguous smile and she glanced meaningfully at the store manager standing nearby, indicating to Sophia Green that it was inconvenient to talk because of the presence of an outsider.
Sophia Green knew what she meant, her face growing even colder.
Yes, she had investigated Elly Campbell’s background because some details were unavailable and she had assumed that Adam’s marriage to Elly was more out of alliance.
Since her father, James Campbell, didn’t regard her highly, Elly obviously meant nothing.
Why should she waste time investigating such a woman?
Yet, she turned out to be from such a formidable family.
"So you probably don’t know who Old Master Campbell is either?"
Thompson felt a surge of satisfaction inside but appeared extremely cautious on the surface, afraid that any wrong word might upset Sophia Green further.
"Elly’s grandfather?"
Upon hearing Thompson’s tone, Sophia Green sensed something was wrong, figuring that even if Old Master Campbell’s social status wasn’t as high as Master Clark’s, he was likely no simple character.
Seeing Thompson type a name into her phone on Google, she then handed it over to Sophia Green.
Looking at the popup on Google about "Henry Campbell" made Sophia’s face darken even more.
Apart from jealousy and envy, she no longer knew what else could comfort her, enabling her to find even a shred of superiority in front of Elly Campbell.
