Chapter 1502: 1502. There is a charisma that attracts weirdos.
Sophia Taylor didn’t know what she had just thought of, but her eyes sparkled as she followed Lily Jones out of the Campbell Corporation building.
“Miss Jones.”
She called out to stop Lily Jones.
Lily, already fuming due to a Fox Spirit trying to seduce her husband, had no patience left for Sophia Taylor.
“And you are?”
Seeing Lily’s grim expression as she walked out of Elly Campbell’s office upstairs, Sophia assumed the two must have had a quarrel.
After all, the relationship between these two sisters-in-law had always been terrible. Back then, Adam Jones had even driven Lily out of the Jones Family for Elly.
Even though Sophia had been teaching in a remote mountain area for the past year, out of touch with the world, she figured there was no way these two hot-tempered people could suddenly reconcile within a year.
Thus, she naturally assumed Lily had gotten into another argument with Elly.
“I’m here to see CEO Campbell.”
Though Sophia felt confident Lily had quarreled with Elly again, she left some wiggle room in her words, not daring to assume outright.
Otherwise, she risked offending either Elly or Lily.
“Then go find her. Why are you calling me?”
Lily replied impatiently. Remembering the provocative tone in the Fox Spirit’s messages, she had no desire to waste words with the girl in front of her.
Earlier, when Lily entered the Campbell Corporation, she’d seen this woman clinging shamelessly in an attempt to meet Elly, refusing to leave even after being stopped by the receptionist. Needless to say, Lily hadn’t formed a favorable impression of her.
Now, being provoked earlier by the Fox Spirit, her frustration naturally overflowed onto Sophia.
But Sophia misunderstood Lily’s irritation as anger triggered by her mentioning Elly, further solidifying her belief that the two sisters-in-law had indeed argued.
With this in mind, she said:
“But I’ve been waiting downstairs for so long, and she still wouldn’t see me. She even said I needed an appointment. Back in the mountains, she kept telling me she thought of me as a good friend and that I could come to her for help anytime. But now that she’s left the mountains, it’s like she’s a completely different person.”
Since Sophia was now convinced that Lily and Elly were at odds, her tone and words openly carried complaints and dissatisfaction toward Elly.
Lily, reflecting on her past gullibility—getting manipulated by Sophie Baker—felt increasingly annoyed.
Over time and countless brushes with absurdity, Lily had sharpened her wits.
Now, the girl before her was clearly speaking in a way that threw shade at Elly, seemingly guessing that Lily and Elly had fallen out again. Was that her angle?
A mocking smile flashed across Lily’s mind, though her expression remained composed. She responded, “Elly told you in the mountains herself that she regarded you as a good friend and that you could turn to her if you faced difficulties?”
Did Lily not understand Elly by now?
Elly was simply not the type to say such sentimental things. If Elly wanted to help someone, she’d act on it directly without announcing it in advance.
What was this girl playing at?
Coming to ask Elly for help, only to then bad-mouth her in front of Lily? What a move.
Tsk!
Lily clicked her tongue inwardly. Did Elly possess some weird magnetism for eccentrics? Why did rare breeds of people always seem to flock around her?
Her face stayed neutral as she nodded at Sophia with a hint of displeasure. “She said it to me herself. That’s why I came to her today for a small favor, but she insisted I make an appointment. Since when do friends need an appointment to see each other?”
As Sophia spoke, she gave Lily a quick glance.
