Watching Elly Campbell play innocent after scoring a bargain made Sophie Baker and her mother furious.
As more and more people gathered around, pointing and whispering, there was hardly anyone who sympathized with them. Instead, they either criticized the mother and daughter for shamelessly being the other woman, or outright declared they were morally corrupt and deserved a beating!
Sophie Baker was probably overwhelmed by her anger. Seeing so many onlookers, she no longer wished to pretend. Since Adam now despised that vile woman, Elly Campbell, Sophie figured even if she said something nasty to Elly, what would Adam do to her!
"Elly Campbell, what are you so proud of now? Let me clarify, Adam doesn’t want you anymore. What do you have to be proud of!"
Covering her hot cheek, probably because she had been oppressed by Elly Campbell in the past, Sophie and her mother never dared to retaliate whenever Elly slapped them.
Sophie, with her face burning from Elly’s slap, only dared to retaliate with words to provoke and irritate Elly.
"Isn’t that right? He doesn’t want me anymore. Shouldn’t I fully exercise my rights as his lawful wife and properly discipline the homewrecker who ruined our family?"
After saying that, she retaliated without holding back, slapping Sophie across the other cheek.
Having just had facial fillers, Sophie’s face somewhat deformed due to the force of Elly’s slaps.
Elly rubbed her wrist, which had gotten sore from slapping hard, and said:
"Adam Jones is just an old pair of shoes I’ve worn out, and if you like picking through trash, who am I to stop you?"
She raised an eyebrow at Sophie and chuckled.
From the side, the comment prompted subdued laughter.
"Does Mrs. Jones always speak so sharply?"
"But think about it, even if President Jones is an old pair of shoes worn out by Mrs. Jones, he’s still too good for this illegitimate child."
Previously, Sophie was jealous of Elly having Adam by her side, where she went the attention was limitless, admired and flattered by everyone.
But for her, even though various Hot Searches confirmed that Adam’s affection had shifted to her, all she received were jokes and scolding!
Both were women loved by Adam Jones, so why was there such a big difference in the way she and Elly were treated!
She craved the limitless attention, the affection, the treatment like Elly’s; she got none of it.
Thinking of that day, although Adam had said she was the only person he remembered, that she was the only one he trusted, his attitude towards her was still as cold as before, not at all intimate.
Recalling this, she felt utterly disappointed.
He constantly claimed he didn’t want these scandals to affect her path to entertainment, but she really wanted to tell him that she didn’t care.
But she dared not upset him.
But Elly Campbell? Now just a deserted wife, she still had the freedom to belittle Adam, say whatever she wanted, do whatever she liked.
This made Sophie feel that even if she became the Young Miss of the Jones Family in the future, she would still be inferior to Elly.
For many, Elly Campbell was referred to as Adam’s ex-wife, whereas she was seen as a lesser homewrecker, an official mistress perhaps, but still a mistress.
The more Sophie thought about it, the more bitterness she felt in her heart. Coupled with being slapped twice by Elly, and surrounded by the disdain of those viewing her as illegitimate and a mistress, Sophie’s agitation grew considerably.
"Elly Campbell, I’m done playing nice!"
Suddenly, she screamed and charged at Elly.
She didn’t realize the whispers around her had already stopped.
