Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1055. This older sister is not that older sister.

Sophie Baker knew that her impulsive behavior had just given outsiders, especially Elly Campbell, another reason to ridicule her. Elly might even be secretly delighted by her mistake.

But now, she needed to salvage her image, even if she detested the mocking stares of these older women, she still had to bite the bullet and apologize to them.

Fortunately, these women were all older than her, so a casual apology could be passed off as a respectful nod to their age, which wasn’t too bad.

With that in mind, she addressed the few wealthy wives:

"Ladies, I am truly sorry. I was just so overjoyed to see my sister that I didn’t consider the occasion and interrupted your conversation with her. Please forgive my youthful ignorance."

She intentionally emphasized her youth, indirectly calling those few wealthy wives old.

Being veterans of many "battles," these women couldn’t possibly miss the insinuation, and their faces immediately darkened.

Yet, Sophie appeared to be sincerely apologizing. If they made a big deal out of it, she could simply claim that wasn’t her intention, making them look like the petty ones.

The wealthy wives exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.

Meanwhile, Elly Campbell wore a smirk as she glanced over at James Campbell.

For some reason, just that expression made James feel uneasy, as if Elly’s smile was hiding malice.

Just as his guard was going up, he heard Elly introduce Sophie to the rich ladies:

"Ladies, this woman is the new concubine that President Jones has recently taken. I believe you must have seen her before."

As soon as Elly said this, the faces of the Baker family, including James, sank.

Just a moment ago, Sophie had tried to "ambush" these wealthy wives with her apology, leaving them as unsettled as if they had swallowed a fly.

Now, hearing Elly’s words, they burst into laughter.

Lady Marquess was the first to speak:

"When I heard this young lady calling Mrs. Jones ’sister,’ I was wondering when Mrs. Clark had another daughter."

She didn’t refer to Jenna Clark as Mrs. Campbell, but as Mrs. Clark.

After saying this, she gave Sophie an ambiguous look and continued with a smile, "Now I understand that this ’sister’ is not that ’sister.’ The term ’sister’ really is fascinating in this world."

No sooner had her words faded than another woman continued:

"I was cursing those journalists on the internet for their entertainment gossip, thinking there’s no way people rush to be concubines these days. But now, seeing Miss Baker so happily calling Mrs. Jones ’sister,’ I realize there really are people eager to be concubines."

These women held statuses not to be trifled with, certainly not by someone like Sophie, a mistress’ daughter.

Even if they wanted to curry favor with Adam Jones, it didn’t mean they were desperate for it.

Now, after having been "wronged" by Sophie, how could they just swallow their pride and take it without a word?

Not skinning this little Fox Spirit alive would be them being too kind.

Each of them mentioned the term ’concubine,’ causing the faces of James and the Baker women to turn sour instantly.

Sophie, youthful and impetuous, wanted to retaliate physically, but Melody Baker quickly pulled her back and gave her a reassuring look.
