Chapter 195: 195. If you’re foolish, read more books_1

"CEO Campbell’s daughter is young, but her ambition is anything but insignificant. She not only has her sights set on Campbell, co-founded by CEO Campbell and President Clark, but she’s also eyeing President Jones as a golden son-in-law," he said.

As he spoke, he looked at Adam Jones. He was the only one who dared to joke with Adam Jones, "I just met President Jones’s son a few minutes ago, and here I am, already witnessing the charm of President Jones. President Jones really is a lucky man."

After all, as a guest, Theodore Davis couldn’t speak too harshly, but everyone here was shrewd, and they could all hear that Theodore Davis was sarcastically suggesting that Sophie Baker was preparing to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a mistress.

Sophie Baker’s face was extremely ugly, especially since Theodore Davis’s words were what she had just said to Elly Campbell, and they were recorded by that bitch Elly Campbell, leaving her with no way to rebut.

Adam Jones wasn’t angry either, just swirling his wine glass, smiling nonchalantly, and said, "President Davis is jesting. This junior is known to be quite picky."

Adam Jones didn’t say much, but he made everything clear.

Quite picky, does that blatantly mean he wouldn’t want her even if she threw herself at him?

Sophie Baker staggered, her face virtually slapped swollen by these people, yet she was powerless to retaliate.

Now even James Campbell had no face left; he hadn’t expected that coming here to defend his younger daughter would turn him into a laughingstock.

Theodore Davis even explicitly mentioned that Campbell Corporation was co-founded with Jenna Clark. In the early years, those who collaborated with Campbell Corporation recognized only Jenna Clark; it was not until later, when Jenna Clark stepped back, that they gradually started connecting with him.

In Theodore Davis’s eyes, this Campbell Corporation felt more like a gift from Jenna Clark to him. James Campbell knew this too, but he just didn’t want to admit it.

After such a public embarrassment, James Campbell was also somewhat furious with humiliation. He glanced sideways at Sophie Baker, wanting to scold her, but seeing her red eyes and the pallid look on her face, he swallowed what he was about to say.

"Sophie, you mustn’t spout nonsense; Go apologize to your sister right now."

After being harshly schooled by these business tycoons, Sophie Baker also had to apologize to Elly Campbell. She clenched her teeth in hatred, but at that moment, all she could do was to grind her teeth and swallow her resentment.

With teary eyes, she approached Elly Campbell and said in a low voice, "Sister, I’m sorry, I misspoke earlier, I’m young and ignorant, please forgive me."

"Indeed, young and ignorant..."

Elly Campbell spoke in a gentle voice. She was naturally beautiful, and this show of vulnerability always inspired a protective urge in others.

"Since you’re young and ignorant, you should go back home and read more books, and learn the principles of being a person."

"You..."

Sophie Baker was so angry she wanted to tear Elly Campbell apart, yet Elly Campbell’s infuriating words came with a soft and frail expression, making it hard for anyone to bear reproaching her.

"I’ll remember what you said, sister."

After such an embarrassment, James Campbell wouldn’t let his daughter stay any longer. Finding an excuse, he left with Sophie Baker.

Elly Campbell turned to Theodore Davis, who had spoken for her earlier, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Davis, for speaking up for me just now."

"Don’t mention it."

Theodore Davis responded with an elegantly warm smile, looking at the retreating figure of James Campbell, "A man like your father deserves a lesson."

Elly Campbell pursed her lips and said nothing.

After Theodore Davis left, the other onlookers dispersed. At that moment, only James Churchill and Adam Jones remained by Elly Campbell’s side.

Once the others had left, the soft and vulnerable expression on Elly Campbell’s face was instantly replaced by a cool and distant demeanor.
