Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 1133. You are the mastermind

Chapter 1133: 1133. You are the mastermind

The look of utter heartbreak on her face would fool anyone not familiar with her into thinking she was genuinely unaware of the situation.

Sophia Green knew well that being caught by Adam Jones today meant there would be no good end for her. Thus, at this moment, she made no attempt to defend herself.

However, watching Thompson Shuyi, this shameless old woman, still putting on an act in front of everyone, trying to extricate herself from involvement, Sophia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"You’re talking as if you knew nothing about what happened to me today, right?"

"Of course, I knew nothing. You said you got along well with Lily and wanted to stay a bit longer. How could I ever imagine you’d do something to hurt my son!"

Thompson Shuyi looked at Sophia with a face full of agony, a mix of disappointment and sorrow.

Nobody else spoke up to interrupt her; watching this fool continuing to deceive herself was amusing in its own right.

"Ha! Didn’t you say I was here to stop Elly Campbell from killing President Jones? How come now you’re saying I just wanted to stay longer and play with Miss Jones?"

Sophia sneered at Thompson, curious to see to what extent this woman could be shameless.

Thompson was left speechless by Sophia’s question.

She had fabricated the previous story to protect Sophia, not knowing about the recording of Elly’s conversation or the video surveillance in the room.

Now with the video evidence, Sophia had no way out, and it was natural for Thompson to prioritize her own safety.

Yet, she had forgotten what she had said earlier.

"I... I..."

Her heart skipped a beat when she caught Adam’s gaze, clearly frightened.

"Well... that was just a guess. I never imagined you were hiding under Adam’s bed to kill him. You... you said you liked him a lot, didn’t you?"

Her words lacked any conviction, and as she spoke, her gaze darted around, avoiding eye contact with everyone, betraying her guilt.

Sophia was aware of Thompson’s shamelessness but hadn’t realized she could lie so blatantly and brazenly.

At this point, Thompson was still delusively trying to shift all the blame onto her.

Sophia didn’t bother to argue further, simply scoffing:

"Thompson Shuyi, do you know what happens when a person reaches your level of shamelessness?"

Thompson, feeling very guilty, was aware her excuses held no water. Yet, she still clung to the hope borne from being the biological mother of the Jones siblings, believing they wouldn’t treat her so heartlessly.

So, she continued to play dumb.

Hearing Sophia’s words, she didn’t take them seriously, merely looking at Sophia with icy detachment.

Sophia continued:

"You’re even scheming against your own children, let alone me, your stepdaughter, who was never on the same page as you. Do you think I’d expect you to truly have my best interests at heart?"

Sophia laughed at her own statement several times, watching as Thompson’s expression subtly shifted.

"Sophia Green, when someone is as despicable as you are, no one will believe you. Did you think I wouldn’t have a contingency plan?"

Thompson’s heart leapt at Sophia’s words.

"I may be foolish, but not beyond salvation. I’ve recorded every word you told me about this plan, including when you called me."

At Sophia’s words, Thompson’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"You..."

"In fact, all the plans were your idea; I simply followed your instructions. By that logic, it seems you’re the real mastermind."
