Chapter 416: 416. Stupid and Selfish_1
"A mere one or two billion? Did the Jones family’s money come from the wind? Do you know how much your brother sacrificed to save the Jones corporation when he was just a teenager?"
"Just one or two billion! You really have the nerve to say that! This amount of money might not seem like much to the Jones family now, but it was earned through your brother’s hard work and sweat, and you have the audacity to accuse your own brother for an outsider?"
"You get to be the pampered Miss Jones with everything handed to you because your brother fought for it, not you! What have you contributed, yet have the shamelessness to speak such words!"
Old Lady Jones was truly infuriated by Lily Jones’s absurdly naive statements.
"Fine, since you care so much about Sophie Baker, sure! The money the Jones corporation lost, have Christopher Moore pay on Sophie’s behalf. Then I might consider asking your brother to let her off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Lily Jones immediately became unhappy.
"Why should he? The Moore clan’s money didn’t come from the wind either!"
"Ha! So, the Moore clan’s money didn’t come from the wind, but your brother’s money did?"
Mrs. Jones’s disappointment in Lily Jones grew, and she no longer wanted to waste words on her. "Get out! Get out of the Jones family."
Mrs. Jones was so angry she banged her cane repeatedly on the floor, and said to the butler, "Butler! If Lily Jones dares show up at the Jones residence again, break her legs and throw her out."
"Grandma!"
Lily Jones hadn’t expected that even the Old Lady would want to drive her out. She widened her eyes in disbelief. Her brother could be enchanted by that cheap woman Elly Campbell, but how could her grandmother become so unreasonable?
If it weren’t for Sophie, where would her brother be today? The Jones corporation might have collapsed eight years ago. Why couldn’t her grandmother see that? How could she do such an ungrateful thing like sending Sophie to jail?
"Your brother is right, even if you were paralyzed, the Moore clan wouldn’t take you back easily!"
After speaking, Old Lady Jones left, trembling with rage, heading upstairs without giving Lily Jones another glance.
"Grandma..."
"Get out!!"
It wasn’t just Old Lady Jones, even the Jones family’s servants were infuriated by Lily Jones’s nonsensical words.
What was going on in the young lady’s head, like a vast ocean? How thick-skinned she must be to utter such idiotic words.
Lily Jones left under the contemptuous gaze of the servants, but the indignation in her heart lingered on.
She thought she was doing the right thing by being grateful, but her brother and grandmother were the ungrateful ones, and all of this was instigated by that despicable woman, Elly Campbell.
If Elly Campbell hadn’t influenced them, her grandmother and brother would never have treated Sophie this way.
It was just two billion, after all. She didn’t believe her brother couldn’t bear such a loss.
Not to mention the great Jones corporation; her brother’s personal wealth was worth a whole Jones corporation on its own. Why fixate on this one or two billion?
It must be that despicable woman Elly Campbell’s incitement, it must be!
Old Lady Jones was indeed infuriated by Lily Jones, so much so that she lay down in her room, struggling to catch her breath.
"Old madame, please calm down. The young miss has been spoiled since childhood, and even now as a mother, she still has the mind of a child," Gloria said, sitting beside Old Lady Jones, helping her regulate her breath while comforting her.
"Ha! The mind of a child? She’s only two years younger than Elly, and she’s still got the mind of a child now? If only she were actually challenged, I wouldn’t be so angry! What she’s showing now is not innocence but sheer stupidity, wickedness, and selfishness."
Old Lady Jones got so worked up that she sat up in bed and finally, let out a long sigh, "After all, she was born to that woman. Even if I raised her myself, her foolish and selfish nature couldn’t be changed."
Gloria, who had been a servant in the Jones family for many years, of course knew who "that woman" referred to by the Old Lady was.
