Chapter 192: 192. Who are you showing this mournful face to_1

Elly Campbell’s gaze remained cool as she looked at herself, and after a moment, she laughed, "I haven’t even been made official yet, and you’re already daydreaming."

She took a step forward, perhaps still carrying the leftover authority of her previous demeanor; as Elly Campbell stepped closer, Sophie Baker was frightened into unconsciously stepping back several paces, her expression one of wariness as she looked at Elly, "What do you want to do?"

Elly Campbell’s lips curled into a smile, "Sophie, after all this time, you still haven’t made any progress, always picking up things I’ve discarded to show off in front of me. Just a Campbell company... do you think I covet that?"

Sophie Baker’s face darkened, "You..."

"However, though I’m not interested in Campbell, you should know that I’m innately domineering. Even the things I don’t want, I won’t easily hand over to others. If you want to pick them up, you still need my approval, don’t you?"

She looked at Sophie Baker with a smile, whose face turned various shades of red and green, and patted her shoulder, saying, "Sophie, remember this well, I will teach you step by step how to be a proper person."

James Churchill watched Elly Campbell’s "despicable" behavior and couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

After Elly finished speaking, she reached out for a napkin from a tray held by a passing waiter and meticulously wiped her palm as if the mere act of patting Sophie Baker’s shoulder had contaminated her with something dirty, infuriating Sophie to the point of distorting her face.

"Elly Campbell, you..."

Her fierce face suddenly turned into one of grievance the next second, "Sister, it’s okay if you don’t acknowledge me, but... but you can’t treat Adam like this. After all, you’re not divorced yet, how could you... how could..."

As she spoke, Sophie Baker bit her lower lip, casting meaningful glances towards James Churchill.

Sophie’s sudden change of face caught James Churchill off guard, and even Elly Campbell couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.

"Why bring up those rotten shoes all of a sudden? Come on, my dad’s not dead yet, who are you showing this mournful face to? Since you want those rotten shoes so badly, I’m not stopping you. Go ahead and pick them up. I might be domineering, but I’m still very picky when it comes to my tastes," she said.

"Sister..."

Elly Campbell looked at Sophie Baker’s aggrieved face and felt something was off. Her gaze unconsciously shifted behind her, and when she saw the iron-green complexion of the man behind her, she instantly understood.

She had said earlier that Sophie, a drama queen like that, had suddenly become abnormal, there must be an issue. Apparently, her no-good ex-husband was standing right behind her.

Seeing Elly Campbell’s composed expression, Sophie Baker gritted her teeth in fury, but the thought of Adam overhearing all the bad things Elly had just said about him made her rejoice at his misfortune.

Sophie quickly walked over to Adam Jones, her eyes red as she looked at him, making no attempt to hide her distress.

"Adam, I... I was just advising Sister a moment ago not to get too close to Doctor Matt, to avoid embarrassing you. I didn’t expect Sister to speak so unpleasantly," she said, biting her lower lip in apparent distress. The insinuations of her words led anyone listening to think other thoughts.

Adam Jones’s gaze was coldly fixed on Elly Campbell, then shifted towards James Churchill, who was standing very close to her. He had seen them standing shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing, and despite trying to hold back for a long time, he couldn’t stop himself from walking over.

Even though he had resolved to divorce her and was determined to fight for custody, seeing her standing with James Churchill still left a bitter taste in his heart.
