Chapter 742: 742. Meaningful gaze_1

She stared at Daisy Thompson’s face for a long moment before speaking, "Do you really think that way, that you won’t bother Adam anymore in the future?"

Seeing Elly Campbell ask this question, Daisy Thompson’s face revealed a helpless wry smile, and even the corners of her eyes reddened.

"He is my son. After so many years, I haven’t even glanced at him. Now that he has grown up, I yearn to see him but I can’t. Do you think my desire not to disturb him is sincere? Of course, it’s not sincere. But I know, he doesn’t want to see me in the slightest. Rather than making him hate me, I would rather just quietly walk away and not make him loathe me even more."

After listening, Elly Campbell laughed softly, her eyes carrying a trace of "relief" as she looked at Daisy Thompson, saying:

"Now you do seem to see things quite clearly. If you had been this clear-headed before, you wouldn’t have been dealt with so badly."

Elly Campbell’s words seemed intentionally provoking, angering Daisy Thompson whose downturned eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity and distortion.

But Elly Campbell didn’t notice.

When Daisy Thompson looked up again, her face still wore the same expression of helpless sorrow as she said to Elly Campbell:

"Could you relay a message for me? Tell him to take care of himself, and no matter how busy he is with work, he needs to look after his health."

Elly Campbell thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, as long as you don’t bother him, I am willing to carry a message."

A look of joy appeared on Daisy Thompson’s face, "Thank you."

"Hmm."

Elly Campbell responded indifferently, calmly accepting her gratitude without softening her cool demeanor.

Just then, a waiter tasked with serving wine at the party happened to pass by. Daisy Thompson called him over, took a glass of champagne from the tray, and Sophia Green also took another glass.

Daisy Thompson said, "This is probably our last conversation. I toast to you and also thank you for doing me this favor."

Elly Campbell looked at Daisy Thompson, her gaze somewhat inscrutable, glanced at the remaining glass of wine on the tray, and took it into her hand.

"Alright."

Daisy Thompson’s eyes shimmered with greater joy, "I’ll drink to that first."

Saying so, she raised the champagne to her lips and drained the glass.

Sophia Green, standing nearby, also smiled at Elly Campbell and said, "Mrs. Jones, I apologize for the offensive things I said earlier. I hope you can forgive my impudence."

Without waiting for Elly Campbell to speak, she too drank all of her champagne.

Elly Campbell, holding her glass of champagne, swirled it, her gaze sweeping over the mother and daughter, then said, "Fine."

Having finished, she too emptied her glass of champagne in one gulp.

Watching Elly Campbell’s glass empty, both Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green’s eyes flashed with a cold, triumphant smirk.

Seeing Daisy Thompson give Elly Campbell a smile, she said, "Then I won’t disturb you any further, otherwise Adam might see and think that I’m troubling you."

She joked with a very light tone, appearing to be in a good mood.

Elly Campbell watched her, and surprisingly gave her a friendly smile.

After seeing off the mother and daughter, Helen Melendy, who had been silent all the while, glanced sideways at Elly Campbell and chuckled:

"Mrs. Thompson clearly possesses quite a bit of self-awareness. Where did that unfathomable confidence she had before suddenly go?"

Elly Campbell watched the mother and daughter move skillfully through the crowd, her eyes narrowing with deep significance.

After leaving Elly Campbell, Daisy Thompson and her daughter took a wide detour through the crowd, only stopping when they were completely out of Elly Campbell’s sight.
