NovelOnlineChapter 1509: 1509. Just don’t like it
“Thank you, Ms. Campbell, I'll pass. You all enjoy your meal.”
After saying that, she showed a hint of hesitation, looked at Elly Campbell, and said softly, “Ms. Campbell, can
we schedule a tto meet?”
With such a straightforward request, Sophia Taylor thought Elly Campbell would surely agree without hesitation.
As long as she could meet Elly Campbell face to face, anything she wanted to ask for help with would inevitably
be agreed to.
For Elly, it would just be a matter of making a phone call.
“Oh, is something wrong? If there is, you can say it now.”
Sophia Taylor: “..."”
She really didn’t dare to speak in front of Adam Jones.
Especially since she clearly saw Adam already looking somewhat annoyed.
She shook her head and said, “Oh, nothing major. It's just that after you left Atlanta Baker last time, we haven't
seen each other in so long. Now that I'm back in Boston, | just wanted to catch up with you.”
Such words, if exchanged between close friends, wouldn't be an issue at all.
But Sophia Taylor's tone clearly carried a flavor of wanting to cultivate a closer tie with Elly Campbell.
Of course, Elly pretended not to notice.
Seeing Sophia looking visibly troubled, she said:
“Is that so? Well, I'm not sure if I'll have time. You can schedule it through my assistant.”

Schedule your mother...
Sophia felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor coming out.
Seeing Sophia staring blankly at her without responding, Elly pretended not to notice either. She made no further
effort to invite her to lunch with them.
She simply said, “Since you're not joining us for lunch, we’ll be on our way, then.”
“No... wait, Ms. Campbell, I...”
Sophia tried to call after Elly, but Elly didn’t even glance back, pulling Adam Jones along as they left.
Sophia gritted her teeth in frustration and stomped her feet repeatedly on the spot, unable to dispel the anger
burning in her chest.
Inside the car, Elly’s gaze fell on the rearview mirror. She couldn't help but burst out laughing as she saw Sophia
standing there stomping her feet furiously.
Adam Jones settled into the driver's seat. Hearing Elly’s laughter, he glanced sideways at her.
Reflecting on her contrasting attitude toward Sophia, he asked curiously:
“What did that outreach worker do to piss you off?”
Elly shook her head. “It’s nothing—I just don’t like her.”
Someone like Sophia Taylor didn’t even qualify for her to complain about to her island master.
Adam smirked faintly and didn’t press further, instead commenting:
“Why do | get the feeling you deliberately cto findfor lunch because you knew she was coming after
me?”
“Exactly.”
Elly shrugged and made no effort to hide it, replying:

She spoke with a self-righteous flair. Adam chuckled and raised his hand to playfully mess up her hair.
“Is your confidence in your husband's taste really that low?”
Elly lounged against the seat back,
arms folded behind her head, and,
said leisurely, Differéstsirbkes for

“If you don’t like people like her, just ignore her. Don’t let her ruin your mood.”
Adam, unwilling to dwell on discussions about other women with his wife, steered the conversation away
proactively.
