Chapter 1087: Such a daughter-in-law must be replaced.
Cam Green looked at his daughter’s frown and the quiet regret that appeared on her face, stepped forward, and patted her shoulder as if he wanted to say something.
But on second thought, he swallowed back the words he intended to say.
He simply said,
"Sophia, don’t worry. That incident happened so long ago, and back then, Adam Jones truly loved Elly Campbell. Of course, he wasn’t happy when you schemed against Elly."
Having said that, Cam Green paused for a moment before continuing,
"But this time it’s different. Now, Adam has had a falling out with Elly. I’ve heard that during the crisis at Jones Corporation, Elly arranged a round of financing for the company."
"Adam has found out that the financing company is owned by Elly, and she admitted it herself in front of Adam."
Upon hearing this, both Sophia and Sophia Green’s faces showed a hint of surprise, clearly unaware of the many intrigues behind the scenes.
Although Sophia didn’t understand the operations of these companies, she had been with Henry Jones for years and knew what financing entailed.
"So you mean to say, apart from the fifty percent of shares Adam gave Elly, she also diluted other shareholders’ stakes and secured them through financing?"
As Sophia spoke, she instantly felt both regretful and envious.
Regretful because she had easily sold her shares to Edward Gresia, envious because owning all of Adam’s family assets wasn’t enough for Elly; she managed to obtain at least two-thirds of Jones Corporation’s shares.
This envy and discontent made Sophia even more determined to drive Elly away from Adam and replace her with Sophia Green.
Indeed, if it weren’t for her age and the fact that she was his biological mother, she would have relished the chance to step into the fight herself.
"Exactly. So no matter how affectionate Adam and Elly pretend to be at this banquet, he has already grown to despise Elly. How could he still hold a grudge against Sophia for plotting against Elly in the past?"
As he spoke, Cam Green seemed to think of something amusing; he sneered before continuing,
"He might even think to himself how he could have been so blind to trust that woman, Elly."
His gaze briefly shifted to Elly Campbell’s exquisite, supremely beautiful face that nevertheless looked a bit pale, his eyes carrying a deeper meaning.
"Beauty deceives."
Upon hearing Cam Green’s words, Sophia Green’s worries seemed to diminish considerably.
It was the same old story; she couldn’t compete with Elly in the past, not just because of Elly’s powerful family background but also because of her beauty that could bring disaster to the nation.
Even though she was a leading actress and her appearance top-tier within the entertainment industry, she still fell short in comparison to Elly.
But things were different now.
She had sufficient advantages to compete with that illegitimate daughter. As for Elly...
Hahaha! What else did Elly have to do with it? She was about to become a cast-off wife.
Sophia’s thoughts weren’t much different from Sophia Green’s.
A daughter-in-law like Elly was too hard to control. As a daughter-in-law, how could she be allowed to ride roughshod over her mother-in-law?
Such a daughter-in-law needed to be replaced, no question about it!
And as for the burden that was Sophia Green, let her enjoy her moment for now.
She considered herself clever, but she was just as stupid and as easy to deceive as Lily.
Much easier to control than Elly for sure.
When the time came, Sophia had plenty of ways to make her comply.
With these thoughts in mind, she assumed the role of a doting mother and encouraged her,
"Yes, Sophia. Listen to your father; he’s never wrong. Just think about how glorious that illegitimate daughter of the Campbell Family has been recently."
