Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 806. Can’t lose to Elly Campbell

"The day after tomorrow is Master Clark’s grand birthday celebration. Let’s hurry and pick out a weighty gift. At the very least, we can’t lose to Elly Campbell."

Although she was just as repulsed by this burden as by Elly Campbell, comparatively speaking, it was of more advantage to her if the burden were to marry her son.

That cheap Elly Campbell didn’t even consider her, a mother-in-law. How could she possibly let such a woman become her daughter-in-law?

This burden, however, was different. She would depend on her to marry Adam, she wouldn’t dare disrespect her mother-in-law, and moreover, Old Mr. Green, knowing she could help his daughter marry into the Jones Family, would definitely look at her with new respect.

Now, Sophia Green, knowing who stood behind Elly Campbell, was in no mood to pick out any gift.

People were celebrating their grandfather’s birthday, and Elly Campbell had Adam Jones casually spend ten million on her behalf.

But what about her?

She still had to spend the money she earned through hard work acting.

In comparison, that sourness just intensified.

She even felt like running to Adam Jones right now to confess to him, telling him how much she loved him.

And this thought grew more and more intense in her mind, to the point of being uncontrollable.

Thompson saw the strange gleam in her eyes but couldn’t decipher what that gleam meant.

But she was not in a hurry to find out; after all, the burden now had to deal with Elly Campbell, not her.

If she could use this burden to deal with Elly Campbell and then have Adam take care of this burden as well, that would be ideal.

Without this troublemaker around to stir up trouble for her with the Green Clan, her life would be much more comfortable.

With this thought, she began to incite Sophia Green more eagerly and subtly.

Sophia Green turned to look at the store that had been dutifully serving customers all along and walked to the counter listlessly.

Seeing the antique and precious artifacts lined up on the rosewood shelves, she thought that since Master Clark liked calligraphy, it would be appropriate to give an inkstone as a gift.

Anyway, whatever she gave couldn’t compare to the Zhao Mengfu calligraphy worth ten million from Elly Campbell, so she just decided to give something casually.

"That inkstone."

Sophia Green pointed to an inkstone inside a glass cabinet and said to the store manager.

"Certainly, please wait a moment."

The store manager took out the inkstone and, as was customary, began to explain the origin of the item the customer wanted to buy, and then the manager said,

"This particular inkstone comes from the Northern Song Dynasty and was used by Emperor Huizong himself. When he created the Slender Gold Script, he used this very inkstone..."

Sophia Green was giving Master Clark this inkstone merely to cater to his interests; she had no interest in the history of the inkstone and interrupted the manager halfway through his explanation.

"Okay, how much? Wrap it up for me."

As she spoke, she took out her bank card from her bag, ready to hand it to the manager, but paused involuntarily when she heard the price the manager said.

"Two million?"

Sophia Green’s first reaction was that the store was ripping people off. Just for a stone used for grinding ink, they dared to ask for two million.

But thinking of the reputation of "Dragon Pavilion" within the industry, she held back from voicing her thoughts.

Even though she didn’t say it, the store manager could tell from her look and reaction what she was thinking, and he felt rather disdainful.
