Sophia Green was stopped short by Elly Campbell's comment, halting her complaints.
Elly's attitude was like a punch hitting cotton; even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't get it started.
She pursed her lips, and after a long time, she managed to stammer out, "You... you misunderstood my relationship with President Jones..."
"No, I didn't misunderstand,"
Elly quickly cut her off, her face still showing that indifferent demeanor.
Sophia had thought the next thing she would say was that she really did have some entanglement with Adam Jones, which would give Sophia the perfect opportunity to escalate the situation.
However, she heard Elly say:
"First, our President Jones hasn't given you a second glance, and second, he hasn't shown you any kindness, so where do you get the confidence to think that I would target you over such groundless accusations?"
