Thinking about how Sophia Green had been outmaneuvered by Thompson and then ruthlessly mocked by that bitch Elly Campbell, which made her a laughingstock in front of Adam Jones, Sophia couldn’t suppress the indignation in her heart.
Thompson, infuriated, her chest heaving up and down, suddenly retaliated with a slap of her own, which landed on Sophia’s face the next second.
Sophia hadn’t expected this old woman, who always behaved so obsequiously in front of her, to dare to hit her; therefore, she hadn’t prepared for it and took the slap.
"You burden, I’ve had enough of you, always threatening me with your father. Without your father, what are you worth? Enjoying your father’s resources, yet pretending to be someone who strives for success, when you’re actually a malicious viper
dressed up as an innocent little bunny. Now that you’ve been found out, it’s your own fault. Who else is there to blame?"
Perhaps it was because she had been holding it in for over twenty years, or because she had been provoked by Sophia’s words just now, or maybe because she felt that Sophia was determined to marry Adam Jones and would still need her, so Thompson vented all the resentments she had been harboring for years onto Sophia.
Sophia was already stewing with simmering rage, and now she was enraged by Thompson.
The house servants were also witnessing Thompson treating Sophia for the first time and were quite shocked.
"You old wench, just you wait. Even if you kneel before my dad until you drop dead, I won’t let you stay in the Green Clan any longer."
Thompson was expected to be scared, but she just scoffed coldly with indifference, "Fine, I’ve had enough of you and your father over these years too. I, Thompson, can live without the Green Clan."
"As for you, Miss Green, with eyes only for my son, a married man, if it wasn’t for my help as his mother, I’d like to see how you could ever catch up with my son."
Noticing a slight start in Sophia’s eyes, Thompson realized her words had frightened her and couldn’t help feeling a bit smug.
Having been overshadowed by this burden for so many years, she thought if she didn’t seize the opportunity to turn things around now, she would truly deserve her miserable life.
Another reason she dared to confront Sophia was that she had a vague sense that Old Mr. Young seemed very keen on establishing ties with Adam Jones.
And Cam Green’s opportunity depended on her; she was certain he wouldn’t listen to Sophia’s demands to kick her out of the Green Clan like he used to.
"Sophia Green, I’ve taken care of you, this burden, for so many years, I’ve done more than my duty. If you still don’t appreciate it and continue to cause trouble with me, I’d like to see, between us, who will have the last laugh."
With that, she threw her handbag onto the couch and went upstairs without looking back.
Having put Sophia in her place and slapped her face today, Thompson’s stifled mood improved significantly in an instant.
Suddenly, it was Monday.
Elly Campbell and her husband, accompanied by William Campbell, went to the Clark Family in Alaska to celebrate Master Clark’s birthday.
That day, the guests were a myriad of high-profile figures from all walks of life, with the scene not yielding in the slightest to the birthday celebration of Elly’s grandfather, Henry Campbell, back in the day.
Many of the elite guests were former students of the second generation of the Clark Family, as well as some business friends of Elly’s uncle, George Clark.
The entire Clark mansion was packed with guests.
When Elly arrived, the Campbell Family members, including Old Master Campbell and Elly, also came together.
