章節 18: 018. Who Is She Calling Baby?

"Thank you, Dad."

Elly cast a grateful glance at James Campbell before turning to Adam Jones with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Adam, I wanted to share my joy with you, but I didn't expect..."

She tugged at the corner of her lip, a bitter expression revealing the full weight of her grievances and helplessness.

Seeing Sophie in such a state only deepened James Campbell's sense of remorse.

"Sophie, it's all my fault for letting you be wronged today."

"It's okay, Dad. If Sister doesn't accept me now, I'll work hard to change her opinion in the future. I'll make her like me."

Sophie replied sweetly, clinging to his arm. "Don't be mad at Sister anymore. After all, my mother did do something wrong, so it's natural for sister to take it out on me."

Her gracious and understanding words, subtly hinting at her own innocence, were meant not only to impress James Campbell but, more importantly, to catch Adam's attention.
