NovelOnlineChapter 1511: 1511. Insult your noble character
Previously, Lily Jones had mentioned over the phone that Sophia Taylor wanted to join Yinghua and hoped to do
so through connections.
Elly Campbell didn’t entirely look down on the idea of using connections to get ahead.
What she couldn’t stand was people like Sophia Taylor—pretending to condemn shortcuts while secretly trying to
take them herself.
Not to mention that getting into Yinghua as a teacher wasn’t even the kind of place where connections could
easily work. And why did Sophia assthat those with better family circumstances were necessarily using
connections to get in?
Was she somehow more qualified than the "connection users" just because she wasn’t relying on favors?
It was no different from people assuming that single women who are attractive and live lavishly must all be
mistresses.
After quietly listening to Sophia complain, Elly Campbell offered a calm comment:
"So, what's your plan? Why have you ctoabout this?"
Sophia looked a bit embarrassed.
She pursed her lips, prepared to speak, but Elly was quicker, cutting her off with a chuckle:
"At first, | thought you were coming to askto help you get a spot at a prestigious school. | do know Yinghua's
principal well enough; getting you in wouldn't be a problem..."
Hearing this, Sophia’s eyes lit up immediately. Her move seemed to be paying off.

But before she could fully revel in her success, Elly continued:
"Now that I've heard how much you despise connections, it seems | misunderstood. If | were to pull sstrings
to get you in, wouldn't that be an insult to your noble character?"
Sophia: "..."
Damn it! Elly Campbell, damn it!
Sophia couldn’t help but curse in her head.
Elly, that despicable woman, was deliberately messing with her, wasn’t she?
Forcing a stiff smile, Sophia worked hard to maintain composure, but she couldn't muster the energy to keep
grinning.
In that moment, she wanted nothing more than to grab Elly by the shoulders and scream: You didn’t
misunderstand! Just givethe spot—I’ll gladly let you insult my noble character as much as you want!
Feigning obliviousness to Sophia’s frozen expression, Elly said with practiced indifference:
"So, if you're not here for a spot, is there something else you need from me?"
She glanced at her watch. "If not, | should get going."
"Miss Campbell—no, wait, you've misunderstood me. I... | just wanted to ask if you could helpget a teaching
position at Yinghua."
As Sophia spoke, she paused, as if remembering something, and a glint flashed in her eyes. She added:
"Miss Jones toldthe principal of Yinghua is good friends with Mr. Jones, and said | shouldn't go through you—I
should go directly to Mr. Jones instead..."
Elly raised an eyebrow at that comment.
Ha!
Sophia Taylor really didn’t know when to quit.
Badmouthing Lily Jones behind her back, only to turn around and slander Lily in front of Elly herself.
She really owed it to her year spent
teaching in the countryside, living-cut

This young volunteer teacher was truly eye-opening.
Someone like this, in charge of educating children—how much of their nascent worldview was she distorting?

Still, she kept up a somewhat conflicted expression and said:
"| originally didn’t plan to approach Mr. Jones. Miss Jones toldthat Mr. Jones holds sgrudges against you
