Chapter 207: 207. Sophie is really too kind_1

The eyes of this mother and daughter were superficial; they only saw James Campbell holding the Campbell Enterprises and thought he was the sky of the Campbell family, failing to recognize that the prestigious military leader Henry Campbell had been the backbone of their status. Even though he had retired, he still wielded considerable influence in political and military circles.

While the mother and daughter were fantasizing about how to humiliate Elly Campbell, Sophie Baker’s phone rang.

Sophie picked up her phone, her face revealing a trace of impatience.

"Who is it?"

Seeing Sophie’s impatience, Melody Baker couldn’t help but ask.

"That idiot, Lily Jones."

Sophie smiled lightly, her eyes brimming with undisguised disdain, yet she had to admit how envious she was of Miss Jones.

"That Lily Jones happens to be Adam Jones’s sister. If you want to marry into the Jones family, you must never offend her. Before you succeed in becoming Mrs. Jones, you’ll need to be extra careful and treat her like a little ancestor."

Sophie listened impatiently, "I know, Mom. I’m going to answer the call."

She took her phone to the balcony, and when she answered the call, she had already adopted a gentle demeanor, "Lily, were you looking for me?"

"Sophie, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

On the other end, Lily Jones’s low voice of complaint transmitted, masking neither the excitement contained within.

"I had my phone on silent mode, didn’t hear it. What’s up? You sound so happy; did something good happen?"

"Of course, I’m happy."

Lily Jones’s excited tone continued to spill from the other end of the line, "Do you know? My brother finally divorced that woman Elly Campbell. Haha, Sophie, you need to work hard. I’m looking forward to you becoming my sister-in-law!"

The news from Lily Jones made Sophie’s eyes shine, and her heartbeat accelerated, "You’re saying Adam divorced Elly Campbell?"

"Yes, the court even granted custody of the son to my brother this afternoon. Elly Campbell has lost everything, doesn’t that make you happy?"

"It’s quite regrettable that my sister still ended up divorced."

Sophie pressed down the excitement and ecstasy in her heart, pursed her lips, and spoke in a tone of pity.

"Regret what? I’ve been wanting that woman gone for so long. Back then she treated my brother so poorly, and she still had the audacity to come and marry him, shameless. It’s for the best she’s gone."

Talking about this, Lily Jones became quite angry, for she had never seen a woman as shameless and brazen as Elly Campbell.

Had it not been for Sophie’s life-saving efforts, not only would her brother have been doomed, but the Jones family would have plunged into a severe crisis—all caused by that woman Elly Campbell.

"Lily, however you put it, she’s still my sister. Don’t talk about her that way."

"You’re just too kind, Sophie. Elly Campbell has never shown you any kindness, why do you speak for her?"

Sophie chuckled softly, her eyes gentle as if she truly cared about nothing, "Well, she’s my sister after all. Besides, now that her mother has divorced my father, she must be feeling terrible. How could I possibly take pleasure in her misfortune?"

"Ah, I always say you’re too good, Sophie. I don’t understand what’s wrong with my brother; he overlooked someone as wonderful as you, wasting so many years with that Elly Campbell."

Upon hearing this, Sophie’s expression darkened. The last thing she wanted to hear were words like these.

Not wanting to engage in idle talk with Lily Jones, Sophie kept her patience and said, "Lily, I’m still helping my mom tidy up the house. I can’t chat now."
