Chapter 904: 904. Don’t think about getting a penny.

"So, during this time, you’ve been eagerly waiting for Adam to be officially declared dead so you can come back and inherit his estate?"

Elly Campbell suppressed the rage that she couldn’t stop from surging in her heart, as she looked coldly at Sophie Baker.

It wasn’t just Elly who noticed, even Helen Melendy could tell that Sophie Baker’s current agitated reaction was due to that very reason.

She couldn’t believe that there really was such a mother in this world, who, for the sake of inheriting her son’s wealth, wished for her son’s death.

Confronted with Elly’s question, a hint of guilt surfaced in Sophie Baker’s eyes.

Because it was too obvious to hide, Elly was instantly so furious that anger shot straight to her head, and she raised her hand, slapping Sophie Baker’s face.

If Melody Baker was just mean-spirited and spiteful, Sophie Baker made Melody look like a saint in comparison.

At the very least, Melody would demean herself and come begging on behalf of Sophie just to be considered a mother.

But as for this woman, Sophie Baker, her heart was truly so dark that she could devour animals, to the point where, for the sake of money, she wished for her son’s death.

Elly was so furious with Sophie Baker that she was shaking all over, her face turning white.

"I’ve never seen a mother in the world as shameless as you who doesn’t deserve to be human, actually wishing for her own son to die. Are you even human, Sophie Baker?"

This was the entrance to a shopping mall, with quite a few people coming and going.

Many recognized Elly, as well as Sophia Green and Mrs. Green; they just didn’t know what the relationship was between Mrs. Green and Adam Jones’s wife.

But Elly’s words made people start to wonder.

What does it mean to wish for one’s own son to die?

Could it be... Mrs. Green was Adam Jones’s biological mother?

Many people were quick to realize, tying together Elly’s words and the recent news about Adam Jones’s disappearance, and they quickly understood.

Holy crap! Huge scandal!

Cam Green’s wife is Adam Jones’s real mom!

Thinking of this, and comparing the faces of Adam and Sophie Baker, people realized that these two actually looked quite similar.

Sophie Baker had not expected Elly to make such a bold move and was completely taken aback by the slap.

And the disclosure of her relationship with Adam was what she feared most being made public.

Having an affair with Cam Green, taking off with her deceased husband’s wealth and marrying Cam, abandoning her young son and daughter without regrets, and unashamedly looking after her lover’s daughter—any of these could make her the subject of a public scandal.

And it could damage Old Mr. Young’s reputation as well.

Lately, Old Mr. Young had started to show her a bit of affection, and she certainly didn’t want this incident to affect their marital relationship.

In such a situation, having been slapped by Elly, she could only be slapped, completely daring not to retaliate, for fear that Elly would expose her past.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

At this moment, as the crowd began to gather, Sophie Baker felt even more uneasy and didn’t even have the courage to stand up to Elly.

Elly knew what Sophie was worried about, and also knew that Sophie didn’t dare to provoke her at this moment. So, she grabbed Sophie by the collar, pulling her close and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,

"I don’t want Adam to be the subject of ridicule, for people to know he has a thoroughly shameless mother. And let me tell you something on the side, Adam’s estate has already been given to me. Even if he were to stand in front of you right now in good health, he wouldn’t have a penny to his name, so don’t even think about getting a single cent from him."

Sophie Baker’s expression changed, and she stared at Elly with hatred, all her resentment evident on her face.
