Chapter 1107: 1107. Even when insulting someone, maintain your poise

At first, she thought this woman was as dumb as a pig, only capable of moving herself with her own so-called love, being played by that father and daughter without even realizing it.

Now she realized that this woman was far more cunning than she had been.

Even though she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to leave with Daisy Thompson when accused like that.

But since she had been labeled in such a way and hadn’t the shame to stay, leaving was even more of a mockery.

In the end, she left unwillingly with Daisy Thompson.

With the annoying presence gone, Elly Campbell finally felt refreshed.

The owner of the island had been coaxed and cajoled by her to act out some scenes with a few wildflowers, which was indeed a hardship for him.

Having a rare opportunity to be legitimately close to him, Elly Campbell didn’t want to give it to someone else and simply drove them away with a nasty attitude.

Elly Campbell turned her head with a smile toward the Marquess and his wife and said,

"Thank you, Lord and Lady, for speaking up for me earlier."

"It was nothing. I can’t stand such lowly things that aren’t fit for public display, not considering the social setting. An actor is always an actor, no matter how noble the role, they can’t escape their true nature."

The Lady Marquess looked with disdain in Sophia Green’s direction and pursed her lips.

The Lord, very considerately, soothed her,

"Remember your demeanor; even when insulting someone, maintain your poise."

"Hmph!"

The Lady Marquess haughtily snorted and after greeting them, pulled the Marquess by his tie and left with him.

Elly Campbell watched the newly acquainted couple, noting that it seemed the Duchess was more dominant.

But clearly, the Lord was enjoying it.

Seeing how he had remained silent at first and then immediately came to the Duchess’s defense when Cam Green criticized her made it obvious.

Adam Jones, seeing that he had finally gotten rid of that bizarre family and that his wife was still happily watching their retreating figures, couldn’t contain himself.

"You’ve neglected me for so long, and now that we finally have this legitimate opportunity, are you still watching someone else?"

Adam Jones’s voice was deep, carrying a strong note of discontent.

Elly Campbell looked up at him, her eyes resembling those of a grieving widow, which made her burst into laughter.

She gently grabbed his hand from behind, shook it lightly, and leaning in whispered in his ear,

"Why don’t you come to me tonight? I’ll be waiting for you."

Her eyes shone brightly, a myriad of colors dancing within them, causing Adam Jones’s Adam’s apple to involuntarily bob twice,

Especially Elly Campbell’s words which always made him daydream, accompanied by the warm breath with which she spoke, stirring a burning desire throughout his body.

"Cough!"

He tugged at his collar and cleared his slightly hoarse throat, saying,

"We can leave early."

After all, they had achieved their purpose for attending the President’s banquet and whether to stay longer was up to them.

Sophie Baker, meanwhile, despite desperately wanting to gain visibility in front of Adam Jones, had been intimidated by his earlier warning.

Given the affluent and dignified guests at the banquet, and even though she had James Campbell as her father, she was still an illegitimate daughter scorned by everyone, and she restrained the urge to approach Adam Jones.

However, she found some comfort in being flattered by other girls who were even less significant than her.

Having endured until Adam Jones and Elly Campbell finished the opening dance, she still thought of finding a reason to have Adam Jones dance with her.
