Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1043. Sorry for putting you through this.

Melody Baker even compared herself to others.

She cautiously walked over to James Campbell, and with a sense of grievance, said:

"James, I loved you back then, so I wholeheartedly stayed by your side, willingly being the mistress and the other woman. But think about it, if you hadn’t given me the chance, how could I have been the other woman?"

James Campbell had long been dazed by Melody Baker’s warped logic and didn’t realize that her reasoning was completely flawed.

At that moment, he couldn’t utter a word, and could only foolishly nod his head.

Melody Baker continued:

"Sophie being with Adam Jones brings more advantages to Sophie or you than these online insults. When Sophie first got together with Adam, you didn’t object, did you?"

"Now that things have escalated to this point, why should Sophie suffer this humiliation alone, enduring not only being scolded by netizens but also being attacked by your sister and niece..."

As she spoke, Melody Baker’s voice choked up again, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her appear exceptionally aggrieved.

James Campbell, already feeling extremely ashamed by Melody Baker’s words, felt even more heartache seeing her cry.

He reached out to embrace Melody Baker, gently patted her back, and softly comforted:

"Okay, okay, I know you and your daughter both have been wronged, but I really can’t do anything about Elly, that despicable girl. You can’t expect me to hit her publicly or kick her out of the Campbell family, can you?"

James Campbell himself was also troubled, having disliked Elly for a long time.

As little as he had on Elly, he couldn’t possibly let her be so arrogant.

"The Campbell’s estate belongs to my father, and the house where Elly and her mother are living is also my father’s property. I have neither the right nor the standing to evict them."

Let alone Elly, even Elly Campbell, he had no right to drive her away.

Instead, now he needs a pass to enter the Campbell home, and barging in would get him kicked out by the security.

Melody Baker knew that James Campbell was helpless and could do nothing about anyone in the Campbell family.

Now, other than portraying weakness to make James feel guilty, she could do nothing else.

The more aggressively she behaved, the more it would make James think she was unreasonable and annoy him.

Better to make more concessions, letting James see their mother-daughter plight, and earn them some compensation.

Moreover, she had deliberately mentioned her daughter’s relationship with Adam Jones in front of him—she didn’t believe James wouldn’t think of the underlying implications involving Adam.

As long as she clung to Adam, James would always stand by her and her daughter’s side.

After this mental preparation, Melody Baker played weak again.

"James, I know it’s hard for you, just now I was also upset seeing Sophie so wronged, that’s why I complained a few words to you; don’t take it to heart."

As expected, hearing this made James feel much better; his furrowed brows also relaxed.

As Melody Baker had expected, James indeed felt even more ashamed.

"These days have been hard on you."

Melody Baker very timely let her eyes redden, lowered her gaze, and said:

"It doesn’t matter if I’m wronged, but seeing our daughter suffer because of my status as the other woman, I feel extremely guilty inside, wishing I could take all her suffering upon myself."

Saying this, she once again wiped away a non-existent tear.

Sophie Baker sat quietly on the sofa, watching her parents.
