Sophia Green now dared not speak a word, for she knew she had been played—it was Lily Jones, whom they had thought to be a fool, who had outsmarted her.
She glared at the smug Lily Jones and gritted her teeth, saying,
"Was it you who betrayed me?"
Lily Jones just smiled and didn't deny it.
"You and your mother have no one to blame for your stupidity."
Lily Jones stepped forward, pinched Sophia Green's chin, and looked her over with a smile,
"Not even as pretty as me. I don't understand how that old woman could abandon my brother and me to take care of an insignificant brat like you."
The next second, she released Sophia Green's face, took a tissue to wipe her hands, and continued,
"But you two really do look more like mother and daughter—dim-witted with inexplicably high self-esteem. How could that old woman think that I would trust a wild hen who hadn't looked after me for a single day and ran off with some stranger over my own grandmother, who raised me from childhood?"
