Cam Green hadn’t expected Thompson Shuyi to actually talk back to him, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to her.
After all, this woman had been tirelessly serving by his side for over twenty years and had taken care of his daughter for just as long without a word of complaint, no one is heartless.
How could he possibly not have any feelings for her?
Back then, if it was said he had some other intentions, to take a woman from Henry Jones’ hands, that sense of achievement wasn’t something everyone could experience.
This woman, even though she had aged, still retained her charm and was a woman any man would be attracted to.
Moreover, having been together for over twenty years, even if he hadn’t been moved, he had already grown accustomed to her.
But he had long been accustomed to her submissive demeanor and eagerness to please in his presence, and relied on her inability to leave him, so whenever something wasn’t to his liking, he would speak to her harshly.
If she really left him, Cam Green truly wouldn’t be willing to let her go.
Moreover, with a face like hers, even though she was over fifty, there were still many men who would marry her.
Especially since she still held a quarter of Henry Jones’ shares from those days.
Now, seeing her act as if he was optional, he wasn’t sure if it was because she had something to rely on or if she truly didn’t care whether he wanted her or not; in this moment, Cam Green didn’t dare to be harsh with Thompson Shuyi.
The tone of his speech, also softened much more than usual, sounded more like an old married couple than a condescending stance as he began,
"You know, Sophia is your daughter too, after all. How can you not help her when Adam Jones treated her like that?"
Although it was a reprimand, his tone wasn’t so harsh. Thompson Shuyi’s gaze subtly scanned him, and she inwardly scoffed with irony.
Since Cam Green was giving her face, Thompson Shuyi naturally wouldn’t act pompous in front of him. Hearing his mild complaint, she replied,
"How was I to know she’d be so impatient? I hadn’t even started to speak before she chased after him; what could I do? Could I possibly bring her back?"
Compared to her pitiful appearance in front of Cam Green, Sophia Green showed no such courtesy in front of Thompson Shuyi.
Furthermore, over the past twenty-plus years, both father and daughter favored Thompson Shuyi’s submissive behavior in front of them; her sudden assertiveness was somewhat hard for Sophia Green to accept.
But she wasn’t hopelessly foolish and had picked up on the deliberately softened tone of her father’s speech to Thompson Shuyi.
Clearly, her father also had his reservations about Thompson Shuyi.
Whether it was because of Adam Jones or because of the years of living closely together, her father had developed feelings for this woman, Sophia Green knew that she could no longer feel superior in front of Thompson Shuyi.
The only sense of superiority Sophia Green had in front of Thompson Shuyi came from her father, Cam Green.
But if even her father was softening in front of Thompson Shuyi, she really couldn’t do much to Thompson Shuyi.
Even if she was reluctant to admit it, though she was twenty years younger, Thompson Shuyi’s face was still incomparable to her own.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given birth to a son as handsome as Adam Jones.
When it came to money, although Thompson Shuyi had never constantly flaunted it, she was indeed wealthier than her father, Cam Green.
Having received a quarter of the shares from Henry Jones, with the current market value of the Jones company, Thompson Shuyi was wealthier than any other woman around her.
