Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 849: 849. Why gang up on her?

So, no matter how resentful Cam Green was feeling at that moment, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

And Elly Campbell, who had been silently watching George Parker challenge the Green women all this while, couldn’t help but smirk as she saw Cam Green and Sophia Green’s faces turn as red as if they were severely constipated.

The hostility that George Parker inexplicably held against her earlier was now instantly balanced.

Dealing with the shameless and two-faced Green father and daughter like this is best handled by someone like George Parker, who cares for nobody’s face and only does what pleases himself.

This father and daughter duo was both shameless and hypocritical, only allowing themselves to accuse others of selling fake goods, but if anyone else did the same or retaliated, they suddenly became aggressive and relentless.

It seems the whole world must revolve around them, where do they get the face for it?

George Parker ignored Cam Green and turned his gaze toward Sophia Green, lifting his chin slightly, "Hey, actress, Young Master is talking to you here. Wasn’t it worth 2 million? How did it drop tenfold all of a sudden? Surely it can’t be worthless just because this inkstone was smashed?"

George Parker snorted, looking at Sophia Green with a determination not to give up unless she answered.

Sophia Green never expected that what should have been a gathering to criticize Elly Campbell for breaking her inkstone would suddenly turn into an attack on her own vanity for buying fake goods.

Why are these people like this?

Even at Master Clark’s house, even though Elly Campbell was Master Clark’s granddaughter, did these people have the right to join her in ganging up against her?

Why are these people so malicious, so bullying toward her?

Seeing satisfaction on Elly Campbell’s face, filled Sophia Green with resentment and a hint of sadness.

She had come with good intentions to wish Master Clark a happy birthday, yet she ended up being attacked by everyone.

She wanted to leave; she no longer wished to stay here.

Thinking this, her eyes began to redden as she was about to tell Cam Green that she wanted to leave, when an incongruous voice suddenly sounded in the otherwise silent setting—

"Even if Miss Green did give a fake gift, does that mean the person who smashed her inkstone should be forgiven?"

That voice was familiar to Elly Campbell. Her lips twisted with irony as she sharply shot her gaze toward the speaker.

The speaker was none other than Melody Baker—the mistress her dad, James Campbell, had been keeping for twenty-six years without ever managing to officially recognize.

Ever since Sophie Baker was sued by the Jones Corporation and sentenced to ten years in prison, Melody Baker’s resentment toward Elly Campbell had deepened even further.

In her view, the fact that Adam Jones could be so heartless and send Sophie Baker to prison was all orchestrated by Elly Campbell.

So, if Elly Campbell wasn’t present, Melody Baker would let it be, but seeing her made it impossible to resist taking jabs at her.

Especially since Elly Campbell’s repeated failed marriage plans made Melody Baker instinctively blame her for meddling.

Noticing everyone’s gaze turning toward her, Melody Baker suppressed the flicker in her eyes and continued:

"Before Professor Chapman arrived, nobody thought this inkstone was fake. Moreover, even if it’s only worth ten dollars, should it have been broken as a birthday gift for the Old Master?"

Melody Baker’s words were clearly designed to provoke, and everyone was aware that she was James Campbell’s mistress — a fact often rumored to be on the verge of being officially recognized — so it inevitably made her appear petty.

Her words were clearly targeting Elly Campbell.

But had someone else spoken them, they wouldn’t be entirely without reason.
