Elly Campbell’s expression was calm, as if she was truly discussing qualifications with Sophie Baker.
Sophie’s face turned pale with anger as she glared at Elly Campbell; this genuine look of resentment was much more pleasing to Elly than feigned grievance.
“Elly Campbell, I’ve endured your harshness and humiliation time and again. What exactly do you want before you’re satisfied?”
“Disappear from my sight and stop provoking me, that’s when I’ll be satisfied.”
Elly Campbell lazily arched an eyebrow, her indifferent lips curving into an almost imperceptible smile that never quite reached her eyes.
“Why should I? All I want is a bit of Dad’s love. I’m not competing with you for anything. Why must you be like this?”
Sophie truly couldn’t understand; it had never crossed her mind to have her mother officially replace Elly’s, so why couldn’t Elly yield even a little bit?
“How much love you want from James Campbell has nothing to do with me. But Sophie, from the very beginning, you’ve misunderstood the situation!”
The light in Elly’s eyes darkened, instilling a chill in Sophie as she observed Elly.
“Whether you really want nothing, I know the truth, but I don’t care. The things that belong to me, Elly Campbell, you’d better be able to swallow them if you take them. Stop having such crooked thoughts; I have more methods than you and James Campbell can imagine.”
Elly’s mood had soured somewhat with Sophie’s interference.
“Give James Campbell a message from me; his actions tonight weren’t smart.”
Even though Elly didn’t spell it out, a sinking feeling abruptly took hold of Sophie’s heart.
It was as if she understood something but was unwilling to accept it, feeling the suffocating difficulty of becoming a part of the Campbell family growing more pronounced.
Just as Elly took a step to leave, Sophie called out to her with a cold voice.
“Elly Campbell!”

She no longer called her ‘sister’ affectionately, nor did she pretend to be pitiable as she had before. Her true nature was laid bare at this moment.
“He’s your father no matter what. Is your attitude appropriate? Is this how your mother taught you? Is this the so-called upbringing of high society?”
Sophie cried out the words she had been suppressing in her heart in one breath.
Elly stopped in her tracks, and when she turned her head to look at Sophie, her gaze was terrifying—as if with a few more seconds of that look, she could swallow Sophie whole.
Those bottomless eyes held an icy chill, making Sophie unable to maintain eye contact.
Sophie just couldn’t accept being suppressed by Elly without any ability to resist; knowing full well the consequences of her words, she still let them slip out.
But as soon as she spoke them, she regretted it; she knew that the Elly before her was not someone she could easily handle.
If possible, she truly wanted to flee from Elly right then and there.
Meanwhile, after Elly had gone to the restroom, Adam Jones hadn’t left his spot, waiting right there.
But when Elly didn’t return for a while, Adam Jones grew more worried.
Remembering how she had drank quite a lot when she left, he couldn’t help but worry, and his steps involuntarily moved toward the restroom.
“Slap—”
A loud slapping sound came from the direction of the women’s restroom just as he rounded the corner.
Adam Jones furrowed his brows and quickened his pace toward the restroom, where he heard Elly’s voice from inside and the low sobbing of Sophie.
“I haven’t rushed to deal with you not because I’m wary of James Campbell or Adam Jones, but because you’re not worth my personal attention yet.”
