Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 981: 981. Eager to be a concubine

"Are you really okay?"

She felt she had asked a foolish question. Elly Campbell loved Adam Jones so much, seeing him with another woman, especially that illegitimate daughter, would be unbearable for anyone.

As Elly Campbell watched the worry in Helen Melendy’s eyes, she hesitated about whether to tell her the truth. Before she could speak, Sophie Baker and her daughter walked through the shop’s entrance.

Last time at the shopping center, Melody Baker had not only been hit by Elly Campbell but was also fiercely kicked by her treacherous friend. After returning home, she had been unable to swallow her anger, and had truly taken the matter to court.

However, the lawyer said there was no evidence of assault on her body, nor any video or eyewitnesses from the incident involving Elly Campbell, leaving little chance of winning the case; it would more likely be a waste of time.

Unable to swallow her anger, Melody Baker had been frustrated by Elly Campbell several times, but she couldn’t retaliate.

Faced with Elly Campbell, she could never let go of that grudge. This time, Adam Jones had suffered amnesia and remembered only Sophie, not Elly Campbell. It seemed that even God couldn’t stand seeing this manipulative woman prosper.

Facing Elly Campbell, both mother and daughter instinctively felt intimidated, but then thought, "This woman is about to become the Jones family’s castaway wife, why should we be afraid of her?"

It was apparent that the Baker mother and daughter suddenly stiffened their backs, clearly feeling backed by someone.

Helen Melendy glanced worriedly at Elly Campbell standing by her side.

Helen Melendy: "..."

Seeing Elly Campbell selecting dresses with not even a hint of sadness, Helen Melendy had nothing to say.

She couldn’t tell whether her friend was really okay or was overly calm due to severe shock.

Regardless of what Helen Melendy thought, Sophie naturally assumed the latter.

She believed Elly Campbell was deeply shocked because Adam Jones had personally gone to the jail to release her.

Sophie knew the saying, "What goes up must come down."

Elly Campbell’s calm demeanor was clearly a result of immense shock.

Otherwise, why would her complexion look so poor, as if she were seriously ill?

Wasn’t it a serious illness?

Heart diseases are hard to cure.

Sophie sneered schadenfreudigly and walked toward Elly Campbell with Melody Baker.

"Sister, what a coincidence, you’re buying clothes as well."

Elly Campbell acted as if she hadn’t heard her, not sparing her a glance and continued perusing the new arrivals in the store.

Sophie was unwilling to be ignored by Elly Campbell this way, feeling that Elly was just feigning composure while actually panicking inside.

Feigning calmness, are we?

She just wouldn’t let her keep up the act!

She should make a spectacle like a shrew in public.

Unwilling to be ignored, Sophie continued:

"Sister, Adam released me because he knew the case had been a misunderstanding, and there is really nothing else between us."

She spoke like a victim of cyber bullying, bowing her head and lowering her voice:

"The people online have already insulted me enough. Sister, you don’t believe me either, are you going to misunderstand me as well?"

Who knows if Elly Campbell could stand watching Sophie Baker perform this act, but Helen Melendy next to her definitely couldn’t anymore.

"Nowadays, who eagerly becomes a concubine?"

Sophie was anticipating a confrontation with Elly Campbell, but instead, it was Helen Melendy who spoke up first.
