Chapter 53: 053. Showing off with the illegitimate daughter_1 Chapter 53: 053. Showing off with the illegitimate daughter_1 The poignant sentint lingering deep in her eyes also receded at this mont.
Looking up at Adam Jones, she sneered coldly and forcefully pulled her hand from his palm.
In her eyes, there was nothing but disdain.
“Your old fla is here, aren’t you going to go over and say hello?”
Adam’s brow furrowed deeply at her words.
He really wanted to sew her insolent mouth shut!
“I’m about to go over there and set her straight, do you want to go and provide her so support?”
Her lips curled into a mocking smile, for with the relationship between Sophie Baker and Adam, she was becoming increasingly repulsed and irritated by Adam.
With the fall of her words, she had already walked towards Jas Campbell and the others.
At this ti, Jas Campbell had not noticed Elly Campbell’s presence and was rely greeting everyone with Sophie at his side.
“CEO Campbell, who is this beautiful young lady at your side? Won’t you introduce her?”
Finally, soone with a wine glass in hand spoke up, very curious about Sophie standing beside Jas.
Sophie stood obediently next to Jas, smiling modestly and trying to appear as elegant and dignified as possible to match the high society banquet of the evening.
After being humiliated by Adam and Elly Campbell in the hospital, Sophie had gone back and wept bitterly to Jas, expressing how hurt and aggrieved she was. Finally, she convinced Jas to bring her to the evening banquet.
The circle in which Jas moved was high society, and if he was willing to bring her to the evening’s event and publicly disclose her identity, the Campbell Family would find it difficult not to accept her.
This suited Jas Campbell’s intentions perfectly. He patted the hand Sophie had looped through his arm and introduced her: “This is my younger daughter, Sophie.”
Then he said to Sophie, “Sophie, this is Uncle Palr.”
“Hello, Uncle Palr.”
“So it’s Miss Campbell. You really are soone of distinction; there are so many family gatherings, yet we’ve never seen you at one before.”
Nathan Linstad, the helmsman of Linstad Group, clearly misunderstood Sophie’s identity with this remark.
Sophie’s expression stiffened for a mont, awkwardly looking towards Jas Campbell, appearing sowhat flustered.
Jas, too, was taken aback, his smile freezing on his lips, equally embarrassed.
It was obvious that when he had introduced Sophie just now, those who heard around them had assud she was his oldest daughter, Elly Campbell.
He had co tonight intending to make Sophie’s presence public, how could he let them mistake Sophie for Elly?
Facing the many pairs of clueless eyes around him, he laughed dryly twice and clarified: “Mr. Linstad, there has been a misunderstanding, this is my younger daughter.”
“Your younger daughter?”
In the next second, everyone understood, and a few shades of embarrassnt appeared on their faces, but more than that, there was mockery.
Even though these people had never t the legitimate daughter of the Campbell family, they all knew that Leader Campbell only had one granddaughter. Since she was not the one, this younger daughter must be the one whom the Campbell Family did not recognize.
Embarrassnt and scorn crossed the faces of the crowd.
It was unexpected that Jas Campbell, a man known for his acun, would commit such a foolish act.
To bring an illegitimate daughter who should not be seen in public to such a solemn occasion and flaunt her openly was unthinkable.
While everyone thought this way, no one dared to say it to his face.
After all, the Campbell Family was a significant dynasty, and Jas was not an ordinary man, who would dare to offend him.
Moreover, many were taking pleasure in watching the spectacle.
“So it’s the second Miss Campbell, a pleasure to et you.”
Several people didn’t wish to speak much with Sophie, and after a quick greeting, they found an excuse to leave.
Sophie could feel the shift in their attitudes.
Her fist clenched tightly with the silent humiliation.
