Chapter 714: 714. That unfilial son_1
When she became angry, the fierceness on her face came with it, and although Daisy Thompson was about as tall as she, the oppressive aura emanating from her pushed back the anger that Daisy Thompson had just felt bubbling up because of her words.
"You..."
"Daisy Thompson, I address you as Mrs. Green out of basic decency, but in my eyes, you’re worse than an animal. Now, you haven’t even touched the Jones Family’s doorstep and you’re here, commanding and acting like a mother-in-law. I’m really curious if you have even a shred of shame left!"
Ever since Elly Campbell found out that Daisy Thompson couldn’t resist having an affair and left the Jones Family, abandoning their six-year-old island master, she’d been holding back a fire in her heart.
She felt sorry that the young island master had lost his parents at such a young age, and sorry that he had to bear responsibilities and burdens his peers didn’t have to endure.
She had thought that if Daisy Thompson stayed far away from them for the rest of her life, becoming a stranger, they would never cross paths again.
But contrary to expectations, she shamelessly wormed her way back, uttering such laughable statements.
"Elly Campbell, you... don’t go too far with your words!"
Daisy thought only Henry Jones knew about her affair. Before Henry returned to the country, he had informed her of his intention to divorce her.
She knew that once divorced, with Henry’s means, she might not get a cent. But as fate would have it, God was on her side.
Henry Jones died in a plane crash on his way back to the country.
With Henry’s death, the Jones Corporation suddenly became vulnerable prey, and if she didn’t claim her rightful inheritance quickly, she might end up with nothing if it fell into the hands of others.
Adding to that, the Old Lady of the Jones Family could only take care of the corporation and had little energy to spare to deal with her.
She took that opportunity to grab her share of Henry’s inheritance and leave.
Although many people scorned her as worthless, their insults were nothing off her back; she let them talk.
She guessed that Henry might have mentioned her affair to the Old Lady, but a scandal involving Madame Jones having an affair wouldn’t do the Jones Family any good either, especially when Henry’s death caused the company’s stock to plummet, and they couldn’t afford to create any scandals.
That’s why she felt so confident back then.
Indeed, she waited for a while, and as Henry’s death gradually faded from memory, she heard not a word of insult about her affair.
At worst, people only said she lacked humanity, taking her husband’s wealth and running away right after his death.
Compared to being called inhumane, if the affair had come out, it would have been far more damaging to her and Cam Green’s reputations.
Now, after more than twenty years, she thought the shame of her past affair was buried and wouldn’t be brought up again, so she was so bold in front of Elly Campbell.
But unexpectedly, she heard her past scandal being dredged up again from Elly Campbell’s mouth.
When Elly Campbell revealed it like that, she instantly felt like she had lost all face.
If Elly Campbell knew about it, it wasn’t the Old Lady who had talked; it must have been her son, Adam Jones.
The Old Lady was very concerned about her grandson and would definitely not tell her own granddaughter-in-law about her son’s mother’s infidelity. Therefore, the only way Elly could have known was if Adam had told her.
Daisy Thompson felt resentment bubbling up inside her, and she cursed inwardly through gritted teeth: That unfilial son!
