Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1076: Bringing up the exact topic that should not be mentioned

"Lily, don’t blame the Old Master, after all, she raised you and your brother until now. Although she doesn’t like me, I still feel grateful to her in my heart."

"What’s there to be grateful for? If it weren’t for her, why would my brother and I have to endure the sad plight of first not having a father and then losing our mother?"

Lily Jones looked full of hate. She glanced at Thompson Shuyi, her eyes reddening.

"You don’t know, when I was little, so many classmates laughed at me for being a poor child without a mother. They even asked if my mother was a prostitute, saying only a prostitute would abandon her child to continue that line of work."

Thompson Shuyi: "..."

Lily Jones, seemingly unaware of the impropriety in her own words, looked towards Thompson Shuyi with teary eyes, a trace of an "aunt-like" smile on her face as she said:

"Now seeing you’re not a prostitute, I’m really happy."

Thompson Shuyi: "..."

She always felt that Lily’s words were somewhat intentional, with her repeated insinuations about prostitution—wasn’t it a way of cursing her in a roundabout manner?

But seeing Lily’s eyes slightly red and moist underneath, and considering that this daughter of hers had never been one to think before she spoke, low in emotional intelligence and not capable of considering the implications, Thompson Shuyi felt somewhat relieved.

Even though Lily’s words sounded awkward, Thompson Shuyi didn’t have the energy to argue with her at the moment. She looked at her contently and said:

"Silly child, you’ve really been wronged."

She stepped forward, gently stroking Lily’s face, feeling the joy of a mother and daughter reunited after a long separation.

Jones Silly-Head sincerely shook her head, her voice choked up as she said, "It’s not a hardship."

She clutched Thompson Shuyi’s hand tightly, whispering, "I’m so happy that I can see my mother here."

At this point, something occurred to her, causing her brows to furrow unhappily as she went on:

"That day, at Master Clark’s birthday banquet, I saw you. I thought you looked so much like my brother and me. I even specifically asked Elly Campbell whether you could be my mother, and she categorically denied it."

Lily bit her posterior teeth in anger and stomped her foot, saying:

"All because of her, I’ve only just been able to recognize my mother. That scheming bitch!"

At that moment, bitch Elly peculiarly felt a chill run down her spine and sneezed.

Sophia Green, seeing Lily’s behavior, thought to herself how spoiled and brainless this sweet, naive girl must be.

Thompson Shuyi would say a few words, and she’d believe it.

"Lily, do you just now realize what kind of person Elly Campbell is? She charmed your husband so completely he was almost ready to divorce you."

Sophia Green chimed in at just the right moment.

Hearing this, a frown indeed marred Lily’s brow. It was clear this wasn’t a particularly pleasant memory for her.

"Why bring that up now?"

She looked coldly at Sophia Green, her eyes filled with strong disapproval.

Thompson Shuyi quietly tugged at Sophia’s hand, her face showing reprimand as she said:

"Sophia, you always bring up just the wrong thing."

"I misspoke, Lily, don’t be angry."

Sophia Green apologized with apparent understanding, yet still held a grudge about being called an "actress."

But as she still needed a favor from this fool, she had to pacify her for now.

Seeing Lily pursing her lips and frowning, she said:

"It has nothing to do with you. It’s all because of that fox spirit Elly Campbell. If not for her, my husband would have never treated me that way!"

The more Lily thought about it, the angrier she became, and the happier Thompson Shuyi and Sophia, mother and daughter, seemed to watch.
