013. Dealing With the Love Child

Elly Campbell's words landed without any hesitation, making it clear to both James Campbell and Sophie Baker that she would never acknowledge this illegitimate daughter.

Sophie Baker's face paled slightly, her eyes expertly brimming with hurt as she lowered her gaze, biting her lower lip.

She chose not to speak, knowing someone would soon speak on her behalf. For now, all she had to do was remain quiet.

"Elly, I've said it before, Sophie is my daughter, she's a Campbell, and she's your sister. You can't just refuse to recognize her."

Elly raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp and mocking as it swept across Sophie Baker's face.

She had long known of Sophie Baker as the one Adam Jones cared for, and while she hadn't felt any hostility toward her before, the situation had clearly changed now.

Those who had torn her family apart and caused her mother pain would never receive mercy or be allowed any dignity in her eyes. James Campbell had no right, and Sophie Baker even less so.
