"Mom, I'm not content with risking my reputation and life to fight, only to end up losing to Elly Campbell in the end, do you understand?"
Melody Baker was stunned by Sophie's words.
Thinking about what that servant had cursed them with before leaving.
Even within this grand mansion, where she was the lady of the house, the servants never truly respected her.
"Mom, do you know what would happen to us if Adam learned that we were part of the scheme against him back then?"
Her gaze focused sharply on Melody Baker's bewildered eyes, and with a sinister smile, she said,
"We could end up so destitute that we might not even be as good as the servants. Is that the end you want?"
Melody Baker's face paled instantly.
For over twenty years, despite having no official status, she had lived the life of a wealthy wife with James Campbell.
But she was very aware of the limits of James Campbell's abilities; he couldn't win against Adam Jones.
