Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 980: 980. This person must have been severely affected by some stimulus.

Sophie Baker felt genuinely upset when her mother belittled her like that, but her heart sank when she remembered Adam Jones saying in his office that with her skin, she could only play middle-aged aunties in the entertainment industry.

Compared with the enchanting face of Elly Campbell seen online, even if unwillingly, Sophie had to admit that Elly indeed looked much younger.

Sophie pursed her lips, somewhat reluctantly.

"Look, you are now taking care of your skin, and you have made some minor adjustments. You were originally a beauty, and now you look even more pretty. When you show up in front of Adam again, I’m sure you’ll dazzle him," her mother said gently, patting Sophie on the back, which finally brought a smile to Sophie’s otherwise displeased face.

"Mom, you’re right. What’s there to compare with Elly Campbell now? Without Adam, what does she have to compare with me?"

"Thinking like this is just right. You can’t rush to eat hot tofu. The position of Young Mrs. Jones will eventually be yours, no need to rush at this moment."

After finishing her coffee, Melody Baker suggested:

"Let’s go to the fifth floor and look around. I heard that Sherry Huang released a limited edition dress, completely handmade. I’ll buy it for you as an early ’getting out of jail’ gift"

"Thanks, mom."

Sophie hugged Melody’s cheeks and gave her a kiss; then the mother and daughter left the first-floor café and headed towards the fifth floor.

"Tsk—"

Elly Campbell couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the picture and text that just came on her phone.

Seeing her laughter, Helen Melendy, who was being dragged along by her arm, couldn’t help but give her a sideways glance and said with annoyance:

"Miss, I’ve put aside my work and come out to accompany you shopping to unwind, and seeing you laugh so heartily makes me feel like today’s sacrifice of work time is totally unwarranted."

Looking at Elly’s overly haggard face, paired with her current laughter, it indeed seemed mismatched.

Hearing this, Elly put away her phone, turned around to look at Helen, and said:

"If I don’t laugh now, should I be crying instead?"

Helen Melendy: "..."

Of course, she didn’t want her to cry, but seeing her act as if she didn’t care about anything made her even more worried.

She hesitated to bring up the issue between Adam Jones and Sophie, but fearing Elly might continue to forcibly hide her sadness and harm herself, she finally spoke up—

"Elly, are you really unconcerned about the mess between Adam Jones and Sophie?"

"Unconcerned? It’s all over the internet; even if I cared, what could I do?"

She casually shrugged her shoulders, put her arm around Helen’s shoulder, and laughed:

"I might as well spend his money while I’m still Mrs. Jones, who knows if I’ll be able to later."

She pointed around the Sherry Huang store at the newly arrived items and said:

"Anything you like here, just pick it, I’ll buy it for you using President Jones’s money."

Helen Melendy: "..."

This girl was clearly very disturbed.

Helen knew how much Elly loved Adam Jones. She had witnessed the two of them achieve success and even have a second child, gradually nearing a perfect life, yet now this had happened.

If it had been before, she would have gladly accepted the beautiful dresses Elly offered her, but now, she just couldn’t bring herself to pick any fancy, custom-made designer dresses, only looking at her with worried eyes.
