Chapter 1085: 1085. I’d rather give you a discount than them.
Mrs. Thompson watched Lily Jones converse with Elly Campbell, never guessing that Lily had come to talk about her own issues.
At the moment, she was relaxedly socializing with Sophia Green and various other ladies.
"Are you going to tell me?"
Elly Campbell looked at Lily Jones, always feeling that this idiot seemed somewhat different from before.
Although her attitude still seemed annoying, it no longer evoked the same disgust it had in the past.
Lily Jones crossed her arms in front of her chest and lifted her chin arrogantly as she looked at Elly Campbell, saying,
"If you beg Grandma and my brother to let me return to the Jones family, I’ll tell you."
Elly Campbell, "..."
Without bothering with any small talk with Lily Jones, Elly Campbell directly said,
"That will depend on whether the news you provide is worth begging your brother on your behalf, especially since we aren’t that close."
"You..."
Choked by Elly Campbell’s words, Lily Jones’s eyes widened with anger.
Her eyes were indeed sharp; Elly Campbell was such an annoying nuisance!
Fuming, she glared at Elly Campbell but still didn’t argue and sat down in front of her.
Lily looked in the direction of Mrs. Thompson and Sophia Green to make sure they were not watching her before she straightened up and told Elly Campbell,
"Mrs. Thompson said, ’I should...’"
Lily Jones recounted the whole conversation she had with Mrs. Thompson to Elly Campbell, causing Elly’s face to instantly turn frosty.
"Alright, I’ve said my piece, believe it or not, it’s up to you."
Lily Jones still wore that arrogant expression and, after finishing, got up to leave.
However, she heard Elly Campbell ask,
"Why are you telling me this if you hate me so much?"
The question caused Lily Jones to pause. Turning her head, she snorted disdainfully through her nose—
"I do hate you, but I hate that shameless mother and daughter even more. Only by comparison do advantages emerge. Compared to them, your merits suddenly become apparent."
Elly Campbell, "..."
"And moreover, I’m not doing this for you; it’s for my brother. I would rather benefit you than them."
After saying this, as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something, turned back, and asked,
"Is this information good enough for you to plead with my brother for me?"
Elly Campbell looked at Lily Jones, paused for a while, and nodded, saying, "It’s enough."
Before discussing this deal with Elly Campbell, Lily Jones had thought she was indifferent about whether she returned to the Jones family or whether her grandmother and brother acknowledged her.
She had mentioned her condition to Elly Campbell offhandedly.
But when she heard Elly Campbell say "It’s enough," a sense of relief washed over her.
In that moment, she realized it wasn’t that she didn’t care about her grandmother and brother; since she was spoiled from childhood, what she least tolerated was opposing views.
Thus, she continually opposed them and grew to find Elly Campbell increasingly irritating, believing Elly Campbell had ruined her relationship with her grandmother and brother.
Once this thought became deeply ingrained, any action against Elly Campbell seemed justified to her.
Now, having been driven out of the Jones family and almost divorced from Christopher Moore, she realized she could no longer afford to be unreasonably arrogant like before.
Looking back, stepping out of that circle, she suddenly recognized how ridiculous her past behavior had been.
