Chapter 713: 713. Lowest price in the universe_1

"It seems Mrs. Green hasn’t held back from practicing her sparring scenes with Miss Green, quite familiar with the lines from those palace drama scripts, aren’t you?"

"You..."

Daisy Thompson glared furiously at Elly Campbell, but the next second, as if something came to her mind, she let out a soft laugh.

"Elly Campbell, you are really too arrogant. Do you really think just because my son dotes on you now, you can be lawless? Regardless of the current state of my relationship with my son, I am still his birth mother."

She had thought that upon hearing these words, Elly Campbell would surely show a look of concern, or at the very least, her attitude might soften a bit.

But it didn’t.

On Elly Campbell’s face, she could discern no reaction; she merely looked at her with a nonchalant expression, as if watching a performance, waiting for her to continue her act.

Daisy Thompson’s eyes dropped slightly, suppressing the discontent in them, and then she looked at Elly Campbell again, smiling as she said:

"Don’t think I’m making empty threats. After all, I am Adam’s birth mother, and the bond between mother and son is something an outsider like you simply cannot compare to."

She deliberately emphasized the word "outsider," intending to stress to Elly Campbell that she was Adam Jones’s kin, whereas Elly Campbell, who came from the Campbell Family, would always be an outsider, no matter what.

Luckily for her, she wasn’t a parasitic plant, relying on the Jones Family for survival, and luckily Daisy Thompson, this so-called mother-in-law, had left the Jones Family.

Otherwise, having a mother-in-law who treated her daughter-in-law as an outsider would indeed have been an unfortunate matter.

Elly Campbell watched Daisy Thompson’s self-assured demeanor, chuckled lightly, and still did not answer.

Seeing Elly Campbell looking so calm and composed, Daisy Thompson felt as if her punches were landing on cotton, her face twisting with even more rage.

She looked at Elly Campbell, struggling to provoke her further:

"Adam was six years old when I left the Jones Family. To him, a mother was a role he deeply longed for. Now that I’m back by his side, what do you think? For someone who lost his mother in childhood, do you believe he would really want to drive me away?"

Her lips curved slightly, and seeing Elly Campbell’s face finally showing some discomfort, she thought her words had struck a nerve and a hint of triumph flashed in her eyes.

"Adam has recognized me as his birth mother. Do you think he will listen to me? Just one word from me, and your expulsion from the Jones Family is only a matter of time. Instead of thinking of ways to please me, you speak to me with such insolent attitude. How can you be so foolish!"

When Daisy Thompson finished her "earth-shattering" speech, Elly Campbell’s entire worldview crumbled.

Should she be grateful that this idiotic gene was only inherited by Lily Jones and hadn’t tainted her family’s leader?

Elly Campbell’s gaze quietly settled on Daisy Thompson’s stunningly beautiful face, thinking that perhaps Providence had allocated all the excellent genes to that face, which is why Daisy Thompson was left with a brain filled with nothing but dregs.

Watching Daisy Thompson’s self-righteous manner, Elly Campbell narrowed her eyes; it took a great deal of effort for her to suppress the fury rising in her heart.

"So you still remember how you abandoned your son at the age of six, and how a six-year-old child desperately longs for a mother. I’m truly curious how you have the gall to think you still have a chance to dictate to Adam after having an affair and abandoning your child, then taking advantage of the situation to loot the Jones Family’s assets?"

"They say there’s nothing more shameless than a person who has reached the ultimate in baseness. You are not just invincible on earth, but in the entire universe."
