Chapter 690: 690. Show disdain on one’s face_1 Chapter 690: 690. Show disdain on one’s face_1 In her beautiful eyes, a trace of coldness surfaced, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the woman opposite her.
“Miss Campbell, what a coincidence, to run into you even when traveling.”
The woman opposite her was the first to speak, her stunning face carrying a hint of mockery as if Elly Campbell had followed her here on purpose.
This person was none other than Sophia Green, and it was only after seeing Sophia Green that she rembered why Benjamin Thompson had looked familiar.
An idol star who rose to fa alongside Sophia Green, he boasted solid acting skills and had even won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, making him unrivaled in the spotlight.
Elly didn’t pay much attention to the entertainnt industry, but she had heard of Benjamin Thompson. Now, seeing Sophia Green, who was also in showbiz, naturally reminded her.
“Indeed, quite the coincidence. Anyone would think you were following , Miss Green.”
Elly replied with a composed smile, though her tone carried an unmistakable disdain that did not go unnoticed by Helen lendy beside her.
And judging by the unfriendly look Sophia Green gave Elly, anyone could tell there was so discord between the two.
As for why Elly would have a conflict with a female celebrity, Helen lendy’s thoughts naturally drifted to that pig’s trotter Adam Jones. Could this celebrity be interested in Adam Jones?
“What’s wrong, Elly?”
Helen lendy asked worriedly.
“It’s nothing.”
Elly didn’t want to start an argunt with Sophia Green in public; Sophia might have no sha, but she still wanted to maintain her dignity.
Besides, whether this was a genuine coincidence or soone had deliberately orchestrated this encounter, both parties were well aware of the truth.
Benjamin Thompson, who seed unaware of the issue between Elly and Sophia Green, picked up on the tense undertone in their conversation and quickly interjected to diate:
“So Miss Campbell and Sophia are acquaintances. What a small world.”
Elly’s gaze toward Benjamin Thompson was ambivalent, and the corners of her lips curled up into an almost smile. The sharp scrutiny in her eyes made Thompson feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Seeing his unease as he touched the tip of his nose and gave an awkward smile, he said, “There are four of us here, and with Miss Campbell and Miss lendy, we make six. Let’s split into teams.”
Apart from Benjamin Thompson and Sophia Green, there were two others in their group: a man and a woman. The man, Elly sowhat recognized; he was the sole heir to a famous international architectural conglorate, Douglas Turnbaugh, and the woman was likely his latest internet celebrity girlfriend.
Now with Elly and Helen lendy included, the group of six had only two n: Benjamin Thompson and Douglas Turnbaugh.
“I’ll form one team with Douglas, and how will you four split up?” Benjamin Thompson queried.
“I’ll be in a group with Douglas and Miss Campbell; after all, we’re all acquaintances. Miss Campbell wouldn’t mind , would she?” Sophia Green spoke up first. Her statent seed designed to block any avenue for Elly’s refusal, thinking that Elly would undoubtedly know Douglas Turnbaugh, the son of an architectural tycoon. Even if this woman were the young miss of the Jones Family, she wouldn’t completely disregard Douglas’s feelings.
Sophia Green was banking on this when she made her direct suggestion.
Unfortunately, she didn’t understand Elly at all. When Elly disliked soone, she was never one to mince words.
Watching the smirking provocation in Sophia Green’s eyes, the corners of her lips curved up slightly, “You’ve asked in such a way that, although I find you very disagreeable, I couldn’t possibly say so outright.”
The people present: “…”
Not saying it outright? It’s practically written all over her face!
