Chapter 1515: 1515. People are accustomed to sympathizing with the weak.
Sophia Taylor was momentarily speechless by her retort, and listened to Elly Campbell continue:
“You wait here, if I were to ignore you and go straight upstairs, would you say that we rich people look down on others, and even though you’ve been waiting here for so long, I don’t even want to say a word to you?”
Sophia Taylor’s eyes flickered a bit at this question from Elly Campbell.
She indeed had thought this way, but at this moment, she would not admit it.
She glared at Elly Campbell with anger in her eyes, and said:
“I never thought that way. However, you, when we were in the mountains, pretended to be my good friend and took care of me everywhere, but as soon as you left, you turned your back on me. Even if you went to the mountains for fame and fortune, you shouldn’t use us ordinary people for hype.”
At this time, Campbell’s employees were starting to arrive for work one after another, and some representatives from outside companies were coming to discuss business with Elly Campbell.
Sophia Taylor noticed those people looking over with strange glances, and deliberately raised her voice very loudly.
The purpose, naturally, was to incite public outrage against Elly Campbell.
In this world, there are many who resent the wealthy, and even more who habitually sympathize with the weak.
She was a teacher from Atlanta Baker who came to support education, while Elly Campbell became the unfeeling rich person.
Coming from a poor mountainous area naturally evokes sympathy, if she’s further treated like a monkey by someone like Elly Campbell, it would evoke even more sympathy and anger towards her.
Elly Campbell had dealt with manipulative people before, Sophia Taylor’s intentions were clear to her as soon as she spoke.
She looked at the scheming glint in Sophia Taylor’s eyes, and without raising her voice, just looked at her and smiled:
“Miss Taylor, I’ve seen many people like you, just because I was good to you once, you expect me to be good to you forever. If one day I don’t meet your expectations, the past kindness doesn’t count.”
Elly Campbell looked at Sophia Taylor’s angry expression, the corners of her lips curled up, “I was good to you in Atlanta Baker because I admired you for being young and willing to teach underprivileged children. But that doesn’t mean I am obliged to let you into Yinghua, not letting you in is not mean I’m bad to you. Just because I was good to you in the mountains, does it mean I have to continue being good to you, even to the point of arranging your job after you leave Atlanta Baker?”
She looked at Sophia Taylor’s twisted face and sneered, “Who taught you that logic, Miss Taylor!”
Sophia Taylor originally intended to use the surrounding people’s sympathy for the weak to pressure Elly Campbell, so she’d reluctantly help her get into Yinghua. Once she entered Yinghua, they would go their separate ways, and today’s incident would never be mentioned again.
But she did not expect Elly Campbell to publicly bring up her request to pull strings, causing her embarrassment.
Especially after Elly Campbell said that, the indescribable looks from the surrounding people made Sophia Taylor hate her even more.
Elly Campbell must have done it on purpose, to have her pointed at and criticized publicly.
If she didn’t want to help her get into Yinghua, fine, but why did she have to reveal her plea for help?
Elly Campbell initially didn’t want to argue further with Sophia Taylor, but she realized that the more she tolerated, the more Sophia Taylor would press her advantage. If she suffered a loss here today, there would definitely be more tricks to come.
Rather than waste time on her, it was better to make her give up completely.
“Weren’t you the one going around saying I was a flirt, a fickle person, and disdain associating with people like me? Yet now that you can’t find a job, why are you coming to me?”
