Chapter 810: Men always like new things and get tired of the old ones.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones went to Dragon Pavilion to shop half an hour ago, and right on their heels, Sophia Green appeared in the store with her stepmother.

Given the previous ambiguous post claiming Sophia Green had no interest in Adam Jones, they definitely wouldn’t believe it.

By now, many people were convinced that Sophia Green was indeed Cam Green’s daughter, scoffing at her rise from a simple country girl to a leading actress as a shameless stunt, rolling their eyes at the mere mention.

Since Sophia Green was the daughter of Cam Green, her crush on Adam Jones was somewhat understandable.

After all, her dad, the esteemed musician, did have some talent. He wasn’t just some minor celebrity or pop star that cropped up momentarily in the entertainment industry.

He was acclaimed as a "musician," a genuine genius.

The funny thing was, Sophia Green looked at Adam with such longing, probably hoping for him to give her a glance, but Adam’s eyes were fixed on his wife, sparing not a single glance for her.

Because Adam had helped her with the Hot Search issue earlier, even though it was crystal clear that he wasn’t interested in her, Sophia firmly believed he was only acting indifferent because he was considering Elly Campbell’s feelings.

Otherwise, she couldn’t explain why he would bother confronting Ying Qin on her behalf.

Everyone was whispering that Ying Qin had powerful backers, and with Adam’s capabilities, he could certainly find out who was behind her.

Thompson was right in saying that, even though Jones wasn’t afraid of the person behind Qin, it did bring trouble upon himself, yet he still stepped in. Why would he wade into those muddy waters if he wasn’t somewhat interested in her?

Even though her interactions with Adam were few, she knew he wasn’t someone who meddled in other people’s business, especially not when this "business" had no impact on him and Elly.

That’s why Sophia placed her faith in Thompson’s words, believing that Adam had feelings for her, but since he and Elly were emotionally involved, he had to consider Elly’s dignity.

Therefore, Sophia felt, between her and Elly, they both had an equal shot at the moment; it all came down to how they played their cards to capture the man’s heart.

Men have a common flaw, which is the love for novelty and disdain for the familiar. Right now, her biggest advantage over Elly was that, to Adam, Elly was the "old" while she represented something "new."

Having bolstered her courage with this inner pep talk, her acting skills made her eyes redden on cue, all the while waiting for Adam to come over and "console" her.

But she watched, eyes wide open, as Adam walked past her hand in hand with Elly, not sparing her a glance as they entered the store, and not a single glance as they left.

From beginning to end, he never looked her way.

She risked being surrounded by the onlooking crowd, waiting for him to offer her a helping hand, which he could use as an opportunity for publicity. Instead, she was met with his complete disregard.

Seeing that he was about to walk away, Sophia panicked and blurted out, "President Jones!"

Adam and his wife stopped in their tracks and turned around.

Finally receiving Adam’s attention, Sophia’s acting flared again. Her eyes reddened instantly, and she looked the epitome of aggrieved.

Elly watched, raised an eyebrow, and thought to herself. The leading actress really did know how to perform on cue.

As if afraid that Adam wouldn’t notice her distress, she stepped out from the crowd and stood in front of him, meeting his icy, unfamiliar gaze, her lower lip quivering, eyes welling up with tears.
