Chapter 715: 715. This is the misfortune of a family_1 Chapter 715: 715. This is the misfortune of a family_1 How could he be so inconsiderate of his own mother’s reputation and tell such things to an outsider?
Daisy Thompson held so resentnt against Adam Jones in her heart, but thinking that she had sothing to ask of her son this ti, she managed to suppress her anger.
“I’m over the top? You’re the one who’s lost all sense of sha, and you’re afraid of what others will say?”
Elly Campbell snorted coldly, looking at Daisy Thompson, and said, “I don’t care what you’re planning to do by following Adam all the way to the island, but let tell you, if you think you can manipulate him, don’t even think about it!”
Already infuriated and humiliated by having her affair exposed by her daughter-in-law, Daisy Thompson’s voice suddenly raised a few notches upon hearing Elly Campbell’s words, whether it was because she felt guilty or thought she was being wronged by Elly Campbell—
“Don’t falsely accuse here. Adam is my flesh and blood; how could I possibly sche against him? It’s our misfortune in the Jones Family to have a daughter-in-law like you who likes to sow discord.”
Perhaps Elly Campbell was provoked too far by Daisy Thompson’s shalessness, but for so reason, she now found herself laughing.
“I should also thank you for having left early on. The Old Lady having a daughter-in-law like you, that’s the real misfortune for our family.”
Elly Campbell used Daisy Thompson’s words to retaliate.
“And moreover, Mrs. Thompson…”
She deliberately changed the address, feeling nauseous at the thought of calling her Mrs. Green any longer.
“I already ntioned it to Miss Green before, and I don’t mind repeating it for you now; I’m naturally rebellious and the worst at taking orders. Not to ntion Adam is well past the age of being weaned, even if he really brings you back into the Jones Family, don’t expect to boss around.”
Having said that, and seeing Helen lendy coming out of the hospital, she wasn’t in the mood for further idle talk with Daisy Thompson and walked directly towards Helen lendy.
However, Daisy Thompson didn’t stop Elly Campbell just to argue with her; having been rebuked by soone younger, how could she let Elly walk away without saying her piece?
“Wait, I haven’t finished what I had to say.”
Daisy Thompson stood with a stern face, extending her arm to block Elly Campbell’s path.
Elly Campbell looked down at the slender arm stretched out in front of her, smiled faintly, and said, “Go ahead, but I don’t have much ti to watch you strut around talking nonsense. If you’re not going to get to the point, don’t waste my ti.”
“You…”
Daisy Thompson had just had a taste of Elly Campbell’s unforgiving tongue and her stubborn nature, knowing she wouldn’t gain any advantage over her and had no desire to engage in a war of words with her.
Stabilizing her emotions, she said, “I want to see Adam, pass a ssage to him for .”
Her tone softened a bit, but the air of self-importance remained unchanged, unaware of who had given her the confidence to still act high and mighty after being scolded by Elly Campbell.
Even Helen lendy, who had co closer, couldn’t help but want to laugh, hearing Daisy Thompson’s presumptuous tone.
Adam Jones having a mother like that must be tough.
Then, she subconsciously thought of Harry Hall’s mother, Leanne Richards, and a shadow briefly passed through her eyes.
But quickly, she concealed her sorrow and stepped forward to stand beside Elly Campbell.
Daisy Thompson, upon seeing another stranger at Elly Campbell’s side, soone who seed to be on good terms with Elly, feared that Elly could not keep her mouth shut and would talk about her past in front of others, could not help but frown.
Her gaze swept over Helen lendy with a hint of hostility.
