Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 827: 827. Suddenly becoming strong

Cam Green’s eyes, undisturbed on the surface, became focused upon detecting the dissatisfaction in Thompson’s tone.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke indifferently, "I’m not blaming you. It’s just that this place is unfamiliar to us, and as her father, it’s normal for me to worry about her getting into trouble."

Inside, Thompson pursed her lips in disdain. She was already an adult, and after having been in the entertainment industry for so long, what could possibly go wrong at someone’s birthday party at their house?

Is she a giant baby or what?

In her heart, Thompson couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony.

She had been by his side for so many years and had never received a hint of care or concern from him.

Nevertheless, she had just noticed a softening in Cam Green’s tone, which would have been impossible in the past.

This only made Thompson more certain that both Cam Green and Sophia Green wanted to use her to get close to Adam Jones.

Now that she was useful to them, even their attitudes had changed.

As she was thinking this, she saw Sophia Green approaching from a distance, no longer showing signs of heartbreak, but instead looking as bright and glamorous as ever in front of the camera.

Thompson was somewhat impressed by Sophia Green’s thick skin; despite everything, she could still stay at the Clark Family’s house and look so refreshed and spirited.

"Daddy."

She walked up to Cam Green and called out cheerfully.

"Sophia, where have you been? Your dad was just looking for you," said Thompson in a timely manner, but Sophia Green didn’t even glance at her, only looking at Cam Green and asking,

"Dad, did you need me for something?"

"Nothing much, I wanted to introduce you to some uncles and gentlemen to get acquainted," he said. He then pulled Sophia Green aside, glanced in the direction of Adam Jones, and in a lower voice, asked,

"How did it go?"

Sophia Green knew what Cam Green was asking. Her eyes suddenly reddened, "Dad, don’t ask anymore, Adam Jones is never going to like me, at least... as long as Elly Campbell is around, I won’t stand a chance."

"Then let her disappear," he replied.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. She looked at Cam Green in astonishment, catching a fleeting murderous intent in his eyes, which made her heart beat a few beats faster.

"What... what?" she asked.

The murderous intent in Cam Green’s eyes quickly vanished, making Sophia think she had seen it incorrectly.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Dad just wanted to tell you that since you’re in love, you should strive for it and not give up so easily. A man like Adam Jones shouldn’t belong to just one woman."

Of course, Sophia wasn’t willing to give up just like that, but with Adam Jones having such a low opinion of her, how could she throw herself at him without just making him despise her even more?

Cam Green could see his daughter’s thoughts just by looking into her eyes, then he shifted his gaze toward Thompson, who appeared indifferent to the situation.

He vividly remembered that ever since they returned from Jones Island, they had had a big argument. Although she had kneeled before him begging him to keep her and even handed over the Jones’s company shares she had obtained from Henry Jones years ago, giving him half of them, just to stay by his side—

Since then, she had become less subservient before him. And she was even more so with his daughter.

The day before yesterday, Sophia had complained that this woman had set her up and even slapped her.

When he confronted Thompson, she wasn’t nervous and even admitted it outright.

She argued that, as a stepdaughter, speaking rudely to her stepmother was bad enough, but she had gone further and hit her. As an elder, shouldn’t she be allowed to hit back?
