Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1182. Plant the seed of Bagua

Lily Jones was the type who, when she wanted to be good to someone, would go all out and devote herself to that person wholeheartedly.

If she disliked someone, she would use every means to trample that person into the mud.

This kind of personality may not be commendable, but at this particular moment, it was absolutely satisfying to witness.

Her last statement was intentionally designed to irritate James Campbell.

In fact, it should be beyond doubt that Sophie Baker was James Campbell’s daughter.

Melody Baker saw James Campbell as a cash cow, and her rival was Jenna Clark; she would never dare to give Jenna any leverage.

If Sophie had been the child of another man, with Jenna’s connections, it would’ve been easy to find out.

Melody Baker, who had always aimed to replace Jenna, naturally knew this all too well.

Moreover, there was a slight resemblance between Sophie and James Campbell.

But, with her words, not only did she irritate James Campbell, but she also sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of the netizens.

Lily Jones, a frequent denizen of the internet, knew the thoughts of netizens all too well.

They loved discussing the gossip of wealthy families like this.

She planted a seed of gossip in their minds and let their imaginations run wild.

A grand drama of the rich and powerful unfolded in an instant.

Even if Melody Baker, in an attempt to prove her "virtue," produced a paternity test to confirm that Sophie was indeed James Campbell’s child,

the netizens who would rather believe their own fantasies over the truth would unanimously think that James Campbell did not want to be mocked for wearing a cuckold’s hat and raising someone else’s daughter for over twenty years, which is why he reluctantly acknowledged Sophie as his stepdaughter.

If Sophie truly had been a stepdaughter, it would’ve been fair game for the internet’s ridicule as a fact.

Yet, the truly galling and frustrating part was that she was indeed James Campbell’s real daughter, but her paternity was questioned.

After dropping those words, indeed, the way everyone looked at James Campbell changed to something more nuanced.

"Miss Jones, how can you say such things? Sophie is clearly a child of the Campbell family; you... you’re slandering..."

"That’s of no use telling me."

After saying those words, Lily Jones shrugged and made her exit, her part played to completion.

James Campbell’s face turned green with anger, not because he questioned whether Sophie was his daughter.

He wasn’t a fool; he had secretly done a paternity test years ago.

Plus, Sophie looked more like him; there was no question that she was his daughter.

It was precisely because he was certain she was his daughter, and because he had given her no formal status, that he cherished her so much.

Apart from the fact that she was more obedient and well-behaved than Elly Campbell, there was also a sense of compensation involved.

But now, because of a seemingly ambiguous statement from Lily Jones, people online were doubting whether he had been cheated on, how could he not be angry.

He knew that Sophie’s issue this time wouldn’t be easy to resolve, and Adam Jones would definitely not let it go lightly.

He had just attempted to use the news of Sophie’s leg being amputated due to an accident caused by Elly Campbell to garner public sympathy. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Sometimes, the force of public opinion could influence the outcome of many things.

The narrative of Elly Campbell causing her own sister to lose a leg in an accident would inevitably shift public support in Sophie’s favor.

No matter how powerful the Jones family was, they couldn’t silence Laura’s voice, and the more they tried to silence, the louder the criticism would grow.

James Campbell understood Adam Jones; even if he did not care about public opinion, he cared about Elly Campbell.

If Elly was criticized, Adam would never just stand by and watch, and so, for the sake of giving the netizens an explanation on Elly’s behalf, Adam would not do anything to Sophie.
