Chapter 1122: 1122. Fight trick with trick.
After Lily Jones finished speaking, she spread her hands and said,
“Fine, then you guys handle it yourselves. Since I’ve already been kicked out of the Jones family by my brother, even if he takes back the assets from Elly Campbell, it has nothing to do with . Why should I risk my neck for a little slut like you?”
With that, she turned and walked away.
Seeing that Lily Jones was actually abandoning the plan, Thompson Shuyi panicked.
“Lily, Lily, listen to your mom.”
She hurried forward to grab Lily Jones, saying,
“Lily, Sophia didn’t an it that way, you know she’s always been fond of your brother…”
“I don’t know.”
Lily Jones interrupted Thompson Shuyi very rudely.
There was a trace of embarrassnt on Thompson Shuyi’s face, but knowing that Lily Jones was soone who couldn’t stand being contradicted and that she responded better to a softer approach than a hard one, she needed to team up with her and thus had to coax her.
With this in mind, Thompson Shuyi forced a smile and said,
“Yes, you don’t know, but Mom has always seen it, Sophia really loves your brother, and she would never do sothing like Elly Campbell, hurting your brother or scheming against him…”
At this point, she paused to gauge Lily Jones’s facial expression, and seeing that she didn’t show any sign of disgust or doubt, she felt relieved and continued,
“It’s because Sophia likes your brother so much that she would take such a risk to join in helping your brother take back the assets from Elly Campbell’s hands. Her behavior just now was indeed… not very elegant, but forgives her this once for the sake of her strong affection for your brother, won’t you?”
Too fond of my brother? More like too fond of my brother’s money, right? Pfft!
Shaless old hag and little hag!
Seeing that she had gone to such lengths and Lily Jones was still showing an air of haughty dissatisfaction, Thompson Shuyi quickly pulled Sophia Green over.
“Sophia, apologize to Lily now.”
Saying this, she gave her a aningful look.
The situation having reached this point, Sophia Green also understood that without Lily Jones’s help, it would be impossible to cause trouble in the Jones family.
So, sowhat reluctantly, she began to apologize.
Lily Jones knew it wasn’t ti to deal with this pair of oddities yet, so she didn’t pursue it further and her expression softened slightly as she gave a deep “Hmm” and said,
“Enough, no more nonsense. If Gloria cos later and finds out, it’ll be trouble.”
“Okay.”
Lily Jones pointed under the bed and said, “You hide under there.”
Sophia Green looked at the bed with extrely little clearance, which would barely allow her to either lie down or squat, sowhat reluctantly.
“It’s still a long ti till nightti. If I stay in there now, my legs will go numb from squatting.”
“Fine, you don’t have to squat if you don’t want to. After all, the Jones family’s servants co in to clean at irregular intervals, so it’s fine if they see you.”
Lily Jones nodded, very agreeably saying so.
This bit, she was deliberately making things difficult for Sophia Green.
The rooms were cleaned by the Jones family’s servants each morning and they would never co in at random tis.
She wanted Sophia Green to squat under the bed, to squat until her legs broke would be best—hmph!
Lily Jones thought wickedly to herself, yet her face remained serious.
“Or, you can think it over and co back another day if you prefer. But don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
Lily Jones’s eyes narrowed as she continued,
“Elly Campbell hasn’t been getting along well with my brother these days. She had been staying at the Campbell family’s place the whole ti, and it was only recently—because my grandmother pressured him—that my brother went to coax her back into the Jones family.”
