Chapter 1519: 1519. The skill of men in cockfighting
This also indirectly proves that Sophia Taylor intentionally fabricated lies about Elly Campbell.
At the same time, some people caught an entirely different truth from Ethan White’s words.
Just now, they heard CEO Campbell say that this woman was accusing her of seducing the big boss of Windflower Corporation.
At first, they assumed the big boss in question was Willy Willock, since he is the current decision-maker for Windflower Corporation.
But many people know that there’s still a real boss behind Windflower Corporation, someone no one has ever met or knows the identity of. Could it be the man standing before them now?
If it’s truly him, Sophia Taylor fabricating those words wouldn’t be entirely unreasonable.
Having President Jones by CEO Campbell’s side already wasn’t enough—now she even has a tall and handsome big shot in her corner. If it were anyone else, they’d probably be unable to help but feel jealous too.
But jealousy is one thing; using such venomous thoughts to spread lies about someone is another. And then to shamelessly turn around and ask that same person to help her get into the nation’s leading prestigious school? The ambition is huge—her audacity even bigger.
When the person refuses to help, she still has the nerve to accuse them for not assisting her?
This level of manipulation—it’s simply blinding to their dog eyes... Ah, no—human eyes.
Sophia Taylor felt the mocking and contempt coming from all directions and could no longer bear it. Crying, she bolted out of the room.
No one chased after her, nor did anyone step forward to comfort her.
After rushing out of Campbell Enterprise, she looked back at the imposing building, her eyes flickering with a hint of resentment.
Whatever might be going on with Sophia Taylor, Elly Campbell didn’t have time to care. However, the two men standing before her piqued her curiosity.
"How did the two of you end up together?"
"I’ve got some projects to discuss with you."
Ethan White completely ignored Adam Jones, speaking directly to Elly Campbell.
Elly had previously discussed her suspicions with Adam that Ethan White might actually be the true boss behind Windflower Corporation. Now, combined with how certain Sophia Taylor was when she spoke, it was likely she’d overheard a conversation between Ethan White and Willy Willock.
And as for Sophia, while she consistently acted cheerful, optimistic, and carefree in front of Elly Campbell to win her favor, she had never done anything to show her outright displeasure.
But later, she bizarrely fabricated lies before Grandmother Wood, indicating that the real culprit might well be the man standing before her.
Elly Campbell looked at Ethan White’s face, which was in no way less impressive than Adam Jones’s. From Sophia’s perspective, she could understand why he’d be worthy of envy.
After indulging in a brief moment of self-praise in her mind, Elly quickly moved past the sentiment.
If Ethan White was claiming to have projects to discuss, it’s unlikely he would conceal the truth about his connection to Windflower Corporation.
Turning her attention to Adam Jones, who had should have already returned to Jones Corporation, she asked, "Then why are you here again?"
Adam Jones shot a sidelong glance at Ethan White, his tone icy as he replied:
"This man is up to no good, so I’m here to keep an eye on him."
Elly Campbell: "..."
Ethan White: "..."
"Ha! Making President Jones personally keep an eye on me—isn’t that a bit too much of a waste for someone of your caliber?"
Ethan White sneered.
"I know the saying, ’Don’t use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken,’ but as for me, Young Master is perfectly willing to do so."
Elly Campbell: "..."
That self-proclaimed "Young Master" title was so juvenile that Elly had almost never heard Adam use such language.
As for the phrase "don’t use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken," why did it feel so off in this context?
Not only had Adam boosted his own standing, but he had also taken a roundabout jab at Ethan White—calling him the "chicken" in this metaphor.
Which goes to show, when it comes to petty squabbles, men’s catfights are in no way inferior to women’s.
Ethan White, thoroughly provoked by Adam’s snide analogy, shot him a cold glare.
