<h4>Chapter 1057: 1057. Mustpete with Elly Campbell at all costs</h4>


    There was a fleeting trace of frost in the depths of Adam Jones’s eyes, and at the same time, he spoke openly without any attempt to hide his feelings:


    "If you hadn’te over, who would have taken the initiative to ridicule us?"


    Sophie Baker had just been secretly pleased, thinking that after hearing her words, Adam would surely direct his anger towards Elly Campbell. She never expected that he would me her, and her expression immediately stiffened.


    "Adam, I...I...I just saw you were too happy, so..."


    "So you disregarded the asion?"


    Adam Jones narrowed his eyes and coldly interrupted Sophie.


    "You know very well how people on the inte are ndering us, yet you still came over and handed Elly Campbell an excuse to mock us, huh..."


    He seemed to be bitterly amused, "Great!"


    Sophie felt somewhat panicked. Even though she still believed she was the only woman close to Adam, she couldn’t act as freely in front of him as Elly Campbell did.


    Whenever Adam showed even the slightest sign of discontent, she felt afraid.


    Adam Jones gave her an elusive feeling, like a thin mist. She felt that with just a little push, she could distance this man from herself forever.


    "I’m sorry, Adam. I didn’t think it through and caused you trouble," she said.


    Sophie’s eyes instantly turned red.


    Looking at her, now a well-known divorcee, she could still minglefortably among these wealthy wives.


    She still had so many of the Jones’s stocks; she wasn’t worried about her days being difficult.


    At this moment, Sophie didn’t know that Elly Campbell held all of Adam’s assets. If she knew, she probably would have gone crazy.


    From childhood, Sophie had lived under the contrast and shadow of Elly Campbell.


    She alwayspared herself to Elly, thinking it might not have been such a psychological blow if others had fared better than her, but Elly was different.


    Being an illegitimate daughter, she was already overshadowed by Elly’s birth, so she always thought about surpassing Elly in some aspects.


    Previously, she believed that Elly was so fond of Adam but wasn’t favored by him, while she could seek and obtain what she wanted from Adam.


    Additionally, with Lily Jones constantly emphasizing her rtionship with Adam to Elly, she felt a sense of superiority that Elly could never match.


    She felt that Elly had finally lost to her.


    Then Elly, without a word, handed a divorce agreement to Adam and left.


    What made it even more unbearable was that Adam had looked for her for four whole years.


    And yet, the moment she returned, Adam was back by her side.


    Her only sense of superiority faded away in front of Elly.


    The more it happened, the more Sophie wished topete with Elly in every aspect, to fight with her.


    This time, she finally had her chance, and this opportunity also became a reality.


    Everyone in the country knew she was Adam’s true love and that Elly was bing the reject, yet Elly still lived sofortably.


    This thought was very unsettling for Sophie.


    Facing the intangible feeling from Adam left her with a strong sense of powerlessness.


    It was this feeling of powerlessness that made Sophie feel increasingly miserable and aggrieved, and her eyes became red because of it.


    James Campbell always had some instinctive wariness towards his daughter Elly.


    Whenever Elly made even the slightest move, he would instinctively be defensive.
