Chapter 1167. Calling you dumb and you still won’t accept it.

Chapter 1167: 1167. Calling you dumb and you still won’t accept it.

Both of them were a bit nervous, afraid that their whereabouts would be exposed and discovered by Adam Jones’s people.

So they kept their heads down all the way, wearing masks to appear especially low-profile.

"Just inside, go on in."

"Thank you."

Knowing they needed a favor, the mother and daughter didn’t dare to be too arrogant. After expressing their thanks, they pushed the door open and entered.

But they never expected to encounter someone they shouldn’t have inside.

"Ah!"

Seeing the face in front of her, which was like a nightmare to her, Sophie Baker almost screamed out loud.

Melody Baker was also frightened and froze on the spot, instinctively pulling Sophie’s hand to leave, but as she turned around, she saw the tall figure emitting a cold aura standing outside the door.

"Adam...Adam!"

Sophie looked at the man slowly walking in from outside the door, trembling all over, her face turning pale in that instant.

Adam Jones did not look at the mother and daughter, but instead bypassed them and walked straight into the room.

"Didn’t I tell you that such matters could be handled by Robert Green, why make a special trip here, aren’t you tired?"

That gentle demeanor was nothing like the indifference and impatience Sophie had seen him show towards Elly Campbell before.

She watched as Adam Jones carefully helped Elly Campbell sit down on the chair, causing Sophie’s body to tremble even more.

"I originally didn’t want to come, but suddenly I wanted to see something, so I made a special trip."

Elly Campbell rolled up a few sheets of paper she was holding and replied casually.

Adam Jones did not know what she specifically wanted to see, so he casually asked, "What is there to see here?"

Elly Campbell did not respond immediately, but walked slowly to the front of the panicked mother and daughter, looked them up and down, and said,

"I wanted to see what it looks like when this mother and daughter beg for mercy."

Seeing Elly Campbell’s smug expression, Sophie felt a surge of hatred and gritted her teeth.

"Beg for mercy?"

Sophie Baker, already terrified by the sudden appearance of Adam Jones and his wife, was trembling, yet she managed to maintain her composure on the surface.

"Sister, that’s really funny. What have I done wrong that requires me to beg for mercy?"

As she spoke, she didn’t dare look into the eyes of Elly Campbell and Adam Jones and clenched her hands nervously by her sides.

Elly Campbell did not take offense at the use of "Sister," standing in front of her, scoffed, and said,

"Why do you think James Campbell was successful in arranging for you to meet Benjamin Forest?"

As she finished speaking, she saw the panic in the eyes of the Baker Family mother and daughter.

Elly Campbell took the rolled-up paper tube in her hand and gently tapped it on Sophie’s pale cheek.

"After following him for over twenty years, you still so deeply misunderstand his capabilities. As the saying goes, ’to be close to vermilion is to turn red, to be close to ink is to turn black.’ You haven’t really been in contact with anyone competent, so it’s understandable why you can be as foolish as James Campbell!"

"Elly Campbell, you..."

Humiliated by Elly Campbell’s words, Sophie found herself unable to confront her directly and tried to divert the topic by focusing on the less important aspects —

"No matter what, he is your father. Don’t you feel it’s unfilial to speak of him this way?"

"Not at all."

Elly Campbell answered succinctly, "Besides, trying to change the subject in front of me now, don’t you realize it’s useless? Calling you foolish, yet you still show your foolishness at every turn..."
