Chapter 852: 852. Poke wherever you feel uncomfortable

Adding in the grievances he had suffered and the humiliations he had endured in front of Elly Campbell, he grew to absolutely detest his daughter Elly and even wished that Jenna Clark had never become pregnant with such a wretched child.

Now that she had left Campbell Co., he had finally freed himself from her control, and the fresh air he seemed to have not breathed for most of his life made James Campbell feel as though he had suddenly become much younger.

He had almost forgotten how this demon, Elly, used to treat him.

Seeing Elly daring to treat her "white moonlight" this way, his anger flared up immediately.

"What do you mean she’s some kind of mess, she’s your step wife."

With James Campbell rushing to defend his mistress like this, everyone present couldn’t help but roll their eyes internally.

James’s inexplicable words and actions had long been circulating in high society circles.

Strutting around with his mistress and illegitimate daughter, and now that he was divorced, he was even less restrained.

Though he was divorced, and whom he associated with or took as his step wife was none of anyone’s business, his habit of repeatedly targeting his own daughter to protect his mistress was a bit too disreputable.

Especially when he brought his mistress to his former father-in-law’s birthday banquet, it really made one wonder what he was thinking.

Was it to annoy his ex-wife, or to annoy his former father-in-law?

As everyone felt that James Campbell’s actions were unscrupulous, they also felt some sympathy for the elderly Clark Family.

Elly raised an eyebrow, "CEO Campbell, after all this time, how can you still be so unclear about your own position? Let’s not mention that you are nothing in my eyes now, even if I still considered you my father, but when did this piece of work become my step wife?"

Elly pointed at Melody Baker, who was already so angry that her face was contorted, and raised an eyebrow.

She casually tossed her hair at her temples and said, "I’m always the most well-informed person, especially when it comes to my concern for you, CEO Campbell, I have never slacked off."

Saying this, her gaze grew colder, and a chill suddenly surfaced in her eyes, causing James Campbell to shudder and feel an inexplicable uneasiness.

What did she mean by that? Hadn’t that little wretch already sold her shares to him?

She had been quiet for so long, and he had thought that she had no further dealings with him, but now, she said she had been keeping tabs on him?

What on earth did she want to do?

James’s heart began to feel inexplicably uneasy.

That little wretch was a devil, and he felt a cold shiver every time he thought of her.

However, Elly had no intention of saying too much to him, only continuing to say:

"I haven’t heard of you two getting married yet."

As she spoke, she spread her hands in a particularly irritating manner, with a look of schadenfreude.

On hearing her words, James’s pupils suddenly contracted as he thought about the trouble that always seemed to arise whenever he was about to prepare for a wedding with Melody.

Either the fire safety of the property he was developing was not up to standard, or there was a problem with the materials in a certain project.

And it was never a minor issue; each occurrence forced him to postpone the wedding.

Previously, he had not thought much of it, feeling it was just a coincidence, but now, after hearing what this little wretch said, James’s pupils shrunk in an instant.

Elly was unaware that her words had caused James to think so much, and she continued:

"You’re not even official yet, and you’re already trying to claim the position of my step wife. My daughter is still locked up in jail, yet you seem quite happy about it."

In front of this shameless couple, Elly’s words were always unscrupulous, directly hitting where it hurt them the most.
