Chapter 60: 060. The Little Third Grader Doesn’t Qualify_1 Chapter 60: 060. The Little Third Grader Doesn’t Qualify_1 Once, she would have considered Adam Jones’s opinions, but now, she could unleash the arrogance and despotic behavior innate to a wealthy heiress like herself, how wonderful.
Sophie Baker’s face turned pale, with a red ring around her eyes. It was unclear if it was an act or if Elly Campbell had genuinely frightened her.
“Sister… Miss Campbell, I know it’s all my fault. I didn’t know Dad would bring here tonight. If I had known, I really wouldn’t have co to embarrass you.”
Tears began to fall uncontrollably as she kept explaining.
“Dad just said he wanted to take out to dinner. I really didn’t know it was here. Please believe ; I never intended to embarrass you. I… ”
“Enough, stop acting. It’s just the two of us here; who are you performing for?!”
Elly Campbell interrupted impatiently. Sophie’s acting was indeed convincing; any man would feel sympathy and pity for her.
Too bad she was a woman, and her gender did not allow her to indulge in such emotions.
Elly Campbell let out a cold laugh, eting Sophie Baker’s reddened eyes and the tears yet to fall from her eye sockets.
“Sophie, let make it clear to you now so you won’t continue putting on a show in front of . It’s exhausting for you and disgusting for ; it’s not good for either of us,” Elly Campbell said.
Her slender fingertips casually brushed away a few strands of hair that had fallen across her temple, a lazy yet noble aura surrounding her.
Sophie had to admit that the innate nobility Elly Campbell possessed could not be duplicated with any amount of lavish adornnts.
She envied and was jealous of her, and it was because of this feeling that she grew increasingly resentful, unwilling to accept her fate.
The resentnt sprouting from her very bones made her all the more eager to topple Elly Campbell into the dust and take her place.
Both daughters of Jas Campbell, why should she endure such lowliness and not be considered Elly Campbell’s equal.
She didn’t want to be suppressed by Elly Campbell forever.
“Don’t talk about putting on a show in front of ; even if you were to kneel before sincerely, even to the point of death, I would never let you have the chance to enter the Campbell Family through . Do you understand?”
From the beginning, Elly Campbell was aware of what Sophie was enduring her harsh treatnt for.
Now, having made her stance crystal clear, she effectively cut off Sophie’s retreat. She didn’t believe Sophie would continue to endure.
Sophie’s complexion, indeed, changed. No longer exhibiting the pitiful restraint from before, her eyes now held a cold light.
“That’s more like it. Why don’t you show your true nature? Isn’t it tiring to sicken others with such insincere nonsense?”
Elly Campbell watched the imdiate shift in Sophie’s expression and smiled with satisfaction.
Then, not wanting to waste words with Sophie, she turned to head into the restroom. Behind her, though, ca Sophie’s subdued voice, lacking the earlier fragility.
“Why?”
Her gaze was fiercely fixed on Elly Campbell, filled with resentnt and hatred.
“I’m also Dad’s daughter. I’m not competing with you, not fighting for anything. I just want to return to the Campbell Family, to acknowledge my ancestors. Is that not allowed?”
“Acknowledge your ancestors?”
Elly Campbell felt like she had heard a very amusing joke.
“Acknowledging ancestors depends on who gives birth to you. Children born of a mistress don’t have that privilege.”
