Chapter 193: 193. Teach You How to Behave_1

Especially after hearing the words that Elly Campbell had said to Sophie Baker, Adam Jones’s gaze sank lower.

His deep gaze silently watched Elly Campbell’s faintly smiling lips, his eyes growing increasingly intense.

Sophie saw that Adam was only staring at Elly and remained silent; she grew anxious inside. The words that Elly had said just now—Adam had clearly heard them, yet he had no reaction.

It was said that he was recently in the process of divorcing Elly, and upon hearing her words just now, he must have been determined to go through with the divorce.

With this in mind, she began to fan the flames, "Adam, don’t be angry. Sister has always had an unpleasant way of speaking, and this isn’t the first time you’ve heard it."

In the past, Sophie would still pretend to have Elly’s best interests at heart in front of Adam, but now, she knew there was no need.

It wasn’t just because she was soon to be the rightful young miss of the Campbell Family, but also because she knew that Elly would soon be out of the picture.

"Adam, calm down..."

Just as Sophie was about to continue provoking Adam, she suddenly heard her own voice coming from Elly’s hand—

"What’s the use of Doctor Matt trying to please my sister? She’s still a married woman right now. Are you planning to become my sister’s little ’homewrecker’?"

"..."

"Elly, not all the good things in this world will stay with one person forever. Once my dad and my mom get married, everything belonging to Campbell will be mine, not just Campbell, your man Adam Jones will also be mine."

"..."

Sophie’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Elly’s smiling face and the audio playing from her phone.

These words, precisely the conversation she had just had with Elly—she never expected this despicable Elly to have recorded every word.

Her face turned ashen as she looked at Adam Jones’s expressionless handsome face, her voice hoarse, "Adam... Adam..."

Although the audio that Elly had just played wasn’t very loud, the wealthy businessmen who had come to talk to Adam had heard everything clearly. Those who originally didn’t think much of this illegitimate daughter now had even more indescribable expressions.

Seeing Elly calmly turn off the audio on her phone and look towards Sophie’s pale and disbelieving face, her own face remained smiling all the while.

"Sophie, this is your first lesson in becoming a person—always leave yourself a way out when making up lies."

Enraged, Sophie’s face contorted hideously, and she wished she could tear Elly apart. Noticing the ambiguous stares of the surrounding onlookers, Sophie knew she had been thoroughly humiliated.

She had wanted to make a good impression in front of these people, but because of Elly’s meddling with a set of recordings, it was all ruined.

"Sophie."

It was at this moment that James Campbell came over with Melody Baker. He knew Sophie had some connections with Adam.

He had planned to take advantage of this opportunity to help promote his lover and daughter by getting Adam on their side, but as soon as he arrived, he saw Sophie with an upset expression, standing to the side, seemingly deeply wronged.

Then seeing the calm Elly and James Churchill, along with the indifferent and silent Adam, he immediately guessed what had happened.

With a dark expression, he looked at Elly and said, "Elly, did you bully Sophie again?"

Seeing her father arrive, Sophie felt a bit more settled and looked coldly at Elly. She tilted her chin up defiantly and then turned to James, biting her lower lip with a look of unspeakable grievance, her eyes slightly red.
