Even some resources she had in the entertainment industry, which only she knew of, were things that Sophia Thompson bought with money.
If one day she was unwilling to support her anymore, especially given her recent bad reputation, it’s very possible she could indeed be blacklisted.
With this thought, Sophia Green indeed restrained herself a lot and didn’t dare to quarrel with Sophia Thompson anymore. She just resentfully retracted her gaze.
Cam Green knew his daughter was at a disadvantage in front of Sophia Thompson and intended to speak up for her, but seeing that Sophia Thompson was no longer diligently trying to please and explain herself like before, he knew she now had a sense of security and thus also gave up on the idea of speaking for his daughter.
He simply said to Sophia Green, "You too, who Adam Jones is, and what kind of place this is, you can’t be so impatient to approach Adam Jones at Master Clark’s birthday banquet. Fortunately, he still cared that today is the Old Master’s birthday and didn’t make you look too bad. If he truly didn’t give you face, you would have lost a lot of it today."
Although Cam Green also felt sorry for his daughter, what she did today was indeed too embarrassing to be seen in public.
Pursuing a man in such a hasty manner was also too contemptible.
Sophia Green’s eyes reddened after being scolded by her father, feeling both heartache and aggrieved.
Had Adam ever given her face? Those words he said earlier were just shy of trampling her face into the mud.
"I understand, Daddy."
In front of Cam Green, Sophia Green was obedient, even if she felt deeply unjust inside, she silently bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Seeing his daughter admitting her fault, Cam Green couldn’t bear to blame her further and said:
"Alright, Daddy knows what you’re thinking, but Adam Jones is no ordinary man, and won’t just accept you because you throw yourself at him. The more impatient you are, the more counterproductive it will be. Take it slow."
He patted Sophia Green’s shoulder, although somewhat blaming her for her impatience, he did not disapprove of her actively pursuing Adam Jones.
If Adam Jones could become his son-in-law, it would be beneficial for him and for the people behind him.
After speaking with Sophia Green, he added another piece of advice, "Discuss things with your mom first before doing anything. She has more experience after all, and has seen more of the world."
His words complimented Sophia Thompson quite intentionally and this was indeed quite rare.
Unmoved, Sophia Thompson slightly raised an eyebrow. Being praised by Cam Green naturally made her happy; Cam Green had never complimented her in this way before, nor had he used the word "Mom" in front of Sophia Green to affirm her status.
Even though she knew Cam Green had suddenly softened his attitude towards her only because he had intentions to use her, Sophia Thompson had to admit that she was extremely pleased at that moment.
Sophia Green certainly also noticed Cam Green’s intentional flattery towards Sophia Thompson in his words, felt a sinking in her heart, but she was discerning enough not to voice any objections, reluctantly agreeing.
"I understand, Daddy. I will listen to Mom’s advice."
After giving his instructions, Cam Green went back to resume his place by Master Clark’s side.
Watching Cam Green walk away, Sophia Thompson turned to look at Sophia Green, who wore an expression of discontent, adopting almost a triumphant attitude, and laughed:
"Had you been this obedient earlier, you wouldn’t have lost so much face in front of my son."
Sophia Green’s expression darkened as she looked at Sophia Thompson’s smug demeanor, her eyes turned cold, and she couldn’t help but raise her hand to slap her face, only to see Sophia Thompson standing unflinchingly, fearlessly looking at her.
