Chapter 743: 743. She really drank it down_1

"She really drank it. I thought she was smart, but it seems I overestimated her."

Sophia Green’s disdainful tone carried a hint of smugness.

Originally, she had been worried that Elly Campbell would notice something was off, considering that the usually confident Daisy Thompson had suddenly gone to apologize to her daughter-in-law, with whom she had a poor relationship—anyone would be suspicious.

She had thought Elly Campbell was clever and wouldn’t fall for Daisy’s ploy, but unexpectedly... she had overestimated that woman’s intelligence.

With a brain like that, how could she ever be worthy of Adam Jones.

Each time Sophia Green thought of such a high-quality man not belonging to her, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of sourness in her heart.

As for Daisy Thompson, as soon as Elly Campbell picked up the champagne glass with the secret mark and drank from it, the anxiety in her heart finally subsided.

At the very least, her plan had succeeded, and Mrs. Green’s position was secure.

And as for that so-called daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law who respects her mother-in-law is a real daughter-in-law. Could she still recognize someone like Elly Campbell, who had insulted and mocked her several times with sharp words, as her daughter-in-law?

Pah!

"After tonight, I want to see how that wretch can still be arrogant in front of us."

With the weight off her chest, imagining all that Elly Campbell was about to face, Daisy Thompson couldn’t help but puff out her chest with joy.

Her gaze turned appeasingly towards Sophia, saying, "Sophia, I told you, I would help you win Adam. After tonight, Elly Campbell is out of the picture."

Sophia took a glance at her and, for once, showed a rare bit of admiration, "You did well this time. I can hardly wait to see that wretch writhe under Douglas."

Daisy Thompson joined in the laughter, "Later, we can bring all the island to watch the show. Then she’ll be shamed internationally. I wonder how my son will react when he realizes the whole world knows he’s been cuckolded and how he will get back at his slutty wife."

Sophia felt a grudging respect for the ferocity with which Daisy Thompson betrayed her son Adam and Elly Campbell, in an effort to please her.

She could understand looking down on Elly Campbell, an outsider, after all. But Adam—that was her son, whom she bore for ten months. And yet, Daisy was plotting against her own son just to please an outsider, even going to the extent of shaming him with such a public scandal. She had to admit, Daisy really impressed her with her ruthlessness.

Adam Jones really was unlucky to have such a mother.

But looking at it from another angle, though Daisy Thompson was helping her, at the end of the day, it was for her own private desires. She liked her father, Cam Green, so she spared no effort to please Sophia as Cam Green’s daughter, not because she actually liked Sophia or genuinely wanted to treat her well.

This woman was utterly selfish and heartless. She would plot against her own flesh and blood for her own gains. If one day, Sophia fell from grace and lost her value, this woman would surely abandon her at the drop of a hat.

So, she must never trust this woman too much.

The ball, announced by the master of ceremonies, officially began fifteen minutes later.

First, some volunteered to perform dances characteristic of their respective countries, and after that, it was free pairing.

Everyone could choose someone they found appealing at the ball to be their dance partner for the evening.
