Chapter 1105: When being mean, they could carve out a ’Along the River During the Qingming Festival’.

"Lady Marquess is taking things too seriously. We’re just slightly acquainted with Adam, and my Sophia simply admires President Jones, so she only asked him to dance, nothing more,"

Mrs. Thompson explained stiffly.

"It’s said that Mrs. Green is Miss Green’s stepmother? Being a stepmother who considers everything for her stepdaughter so thoroughly, it’s truly touching. Unfortunately, your stepdaughter here doesn’t make you proud. She does just about anything shameless you can think of."

When it came to sharp-tongued remarks, Elly Campbell could etch a vivid "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" with her words.

As soon as she spoke, she took direct aim at Sophia Green’s face.

"In my presence, as Mrs. Jones, you have the audacity to invite another’s husband to dance. Did you ask for my permission?"

Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Thompson, curling the corner of her lips into a beautiful yet sharp smile.

Hearing Elly’s words, Mrs. Thompson couldn’t help but disagree internally.

Ha! A dance is just a dance; why would it need your approval?

Although she thought this, seeing so many distinguished ladies standing with Elly, she naturally kept her thoughts to herself.

Then, turning to Sophia Green, she feigned a reprimand:

"Sophia, when you asked President Jones to dance, did you even consider Mrs. Jones’s opinion?"

Sophia Green looked at Mrs. Thompson with a startled innocence, as though she had no idea Sophia had sought out Adam Jones on her own.

Why would she need the opinion of a woman like Elly, abandoned by her husband?

This is what Sophia Green thought to herself with disdain.

But she knew the situation was not in her favor, so she persevered and followed Mrs. Thompson’s lead.

"I’ve always admired President Jones, so... I just didn’t think too much about it."

"Heh... Admiration isn’t quite the right word. It’s infatuation."

The Lady Marquess loved adding fuel to the fire.

Lord Marquess, henpecked as he was, didn’t dare to say a word to intervene.

Sophia Green’s face turned pale, and the look of grievance returned.

"That makes sense. Who wouldn’t be infatuated with someone as stylish and graceful as President Jones? If I were ten years younger, I’d want to marry him too."

Lord Marquess furrowed his brows slightly in dissatisfaction, glancing at his wife.

Lady Marquess chose to ignore him completely.

"But I could never have the thick skin like Miss Green does. The younger generation is truly something to be reckoned with."

The Green family of three were left red in the face by the Lady Marquess’s remarks.

And Sophia Green felt so aggrieved that she began to cry incessantly again.

Cam Green, after all, doted on his daughter. Although he couldn’t afford to offend the Marquess and his wife, these two were merely onlookers. Domestic affairs of other families weren’t theirs to manage.

So, Cam Green felt more justified in speaking up.

"Lady Marquess, you’ve gone a bit too far with your words. My daughter is young and may not understand all the social graces, but to accuse her like this is perhaps a bit much."

Heh, just a girl eyeing another’s man for a dance, yet so dismissive towards his legitimate wife.

Even a mistress isn’t as brazen as this. And the "fan girl’s" family is even more impressive, turning shamelessness into a mere lapse in etiquette.

Lord Marquess, who originally didn’t want to meddle, couldn’t stand by when this ignorant man dared to go against his wife and was instantly unhappy.

But he didn’t confront Cam Green directly, feeling it was beneath him to argue with a singer.
