"Go ahead, just let everyone, including my son, see how you, as a stepdaughter, treat your stepmother. You’re used to being on the Hot Search lately anyway, one more won’t hurt."
Sophia Green was indeed intimidated by Thompson, especially when she heard him mention Adam Jones.
Although Adam Jones did not yet like Thompson as a mother, the bond of blood between mother and child was unbreakable.
Thompson was different from her; as long as she tried to change herself and won Adam’s favor, she would acknowledge having a real mother.
Therefore, she could no longer treat Thompson as she used to, especially not at Master Clark’s birthday banquet, letting him see her physically attack his own mother.
Thinking this, she resentfully withdrew her hand that she had raised.
Thompson didn’t hide the mockery in her eyes, looking at Sophia, she said, "It’s good you learned your place sooner rather than later."
After speaking, she turned back to the group of ladies, disregarding Sophia’s dark expression.
Sophia was so angry she gritted her teeth, and at the same time, a sense of indescribable helplessness surged in her heart.
Unable to attract Adam Jones, unable to deal with Elly Campbell, and now having to mind Thompson, that vile woman’s mood.
If she had to keep living suffocated, minding others all the time, unable to live freely and recklessly like Elly Campbell, then what was the point?
Therefore, even though she knew she shouldn’t be impatient now, her reluctance did not subside at all.
When Cam Green returned to Master Clark’s side, he saw that they were still admiring the calligraphy scroll sent by Adam Jones.
Zhao Mengfu’s running script, widely recognized as beautiful, particularly appealed to these older professors who practiced calligraphy in their spare time, idolizing these famous calligraphers’ works.
Some were even calligraphy masters themselves, and they couldn’t resist such scrolls, holding one for a long time, which made Master Clark anxious.
Cam Green unnoticeably moved next to Adam Jones, casually starting a conversation:
"I have long admired President Jones’s reputation, and I am honored to meet you today."
Adam Jones glanced at him, his attitude cold.
Cam Green was not offended; after all, he had stolen Adam’s real father and cuckolded his dad, so Adam’s unfriendly demeanor was to be expected.
Unfazed, he smiled and continued the conversation, "President Jones is young and accomplished, outshining us older folks. At such a young age, you could easily not struggle, which certainly makes us old folks envious."
Hearing Cam Green’s flattering words, Adam Jones was completely indifferent, simply responding nonchalantly:
"Mister Green, if you had committed to legitimate things in your youth, instead of engaging in crooked deeds, you wouldn’t need to be envious of me today."
Adam Jones spoke pointedly and didn’t intend to give Cam Green any way to save face.
Cam Green’s flattering smile froze for a moment, a hint of menace crossing his eyes.
Knowing that Adam Jones was insinuating about his affair with Thompson, Cam Green felt a perverse sense of pride.
The wife of Henry Jones, Adam Jones’s own mother, actually taking delight underneath him, Cam Green. Revealing that not only wouldn’t bring shame but might also make many men envious.
Nowadays, not many people are aware of Thompson’s past, but Cam Green knew very well the reaction it would elicit if others realized this woman, who had remained nameless beside him for over twenty years, was Adam Jones’s biological mother.
