Elly Campbell still appeared calm and collected, her beautiful eyes resting on Sophia Green’s discontented face as she said carelessly:
"This question should really be directed at the person who found my necklace. You ask me, but I can’t give you an answer."
She spread her hands in a carefree manner, which was irritating enough to make people clench their teeth.
Meanwhile, Cam Green, watching his daughter’s aggressive demeanor as well as Elly’s relaxed appearance, felt a twitch in his eyelid and sensed that something was amiss.
Although he was not very familiar with this girl, Elly Campbell, he knew she wouldn’t deliberately break a gift given by his daughter.
This young woman, whom he had never met, exuded an air of arrogance, a trait that matched well with Adam Jones.
Even if she did not hold his daughter in high regard, she wouldn’t stoop so low as to break someone else’s gift, especially when it was a gift for her grandfather.
Compared to Elly, Cam found it easier to believe that his own daughter might intentionally try to trap Elly.
His daughter had lately lost her senses, acting recklessly without considering the consequences, and was willing to do anything to win over Adam Jones, not realizing she was not leaving herself any way out.
Although the situation was still unclear, seeing the composed manner of Elly and her husband, Adam Jones, he couldn’t help but inwardly worry for his daughter.
"Mrs. Jones, it’s somewhat dishonorable of you to act this way. Your necklace mysteriously appeared there, and you can’t explain why, my inkstone was clearly smashed by you, and now that the evidence is conclusive, you still deny it... How can you bully someone ?"
As she spoke, Sophia Green stomped her foot in anger, looking exactly like someone grievously wronged by Elly with no recourse.
Her eyes even reddened at just the right moment.
Some of the onlookers, unclear on the details, were somewhat swayed by Sophia’s act, while the appearance of Elly’s necklace on the shelf seemed far-fetched.
Who would randomly throw her necklace towards the shelf unless someone intended to frame her?
This was the Clark Family’s home, after all, and she was Master Clark’s granddaughter. Who would dare to frame her?
Thus, people tended to believe that maybe Elly had intentionally broken the inkstone Sophia had gifted.
Wasn’t it rumored online that she was throwing herself at Adam Jones?
So, as Adam Jones’ wife, taking revenge on her seemed normal.
"Conclusive evidence?"
Elly looked at Sophia Green, her eyebrows raised, "Did you see with your own eyes that it was me who smashed the gift you sent?"
Sophia was so furious that her eyes bulged even more.
But inside she was angry, though she appeared very pleased on the surface.
Because in this demeanor, Elly seemed to be grasping at straws, while she positioned herself as a victim wronged beyond reproach.
With trembling fingers, she pointed at Elly for a long time before she managed to regain her composure, then looking at her sorrowfully, she said:
"I merely prepared a modest gift for Grandfather Clark, it wasn’t worth much, just a token of my regard for Grandfather Clark, it wouldn’t overshadow your multi-million-dollar calligraphy, why...why did you have to do this..."
Saying this, she even began to cover her face and sob softly.
Elly remained calm and collected, saying, "You just said it yourself, you can’t overshadow me, why would I smash something of a person who poses no threat to me?"
