Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1045. Not everyone is so lucky.

This charity banquet gathered all the top business executives from various states and cities, and as the chairman of Campbell’s, James Campbell was naturally among the invited.

But Melody Baker and her daughter were self-aware.

It was a charity banquet hosted by the President, and without any legitimate status, they were not likely to be invited.

Moreover, at the President’s dinner, only the lawful wife would attend, not the mistress.

Therefore, although Melody Baker really wanted to go, she would not humiliate herself by suggesting it.

Now that James Campbell had brought it up, both were ecstatic.

But at the same time, they were still somewhat worried.

The dinner at the Presidential Palace wasn’t just any corporate charity banquet, it was a gathering of top-tier individuals.

Even if they were carried away with pride, the Baker family wouldn’t overlook certain realities at this time.

"Dad, it’s the Presidential Palace’s dinner, and the status of Mom and me is, well, not really respectable. Wouldn’t our presence possibly bring you criticism?"

Seeing the expectation in his daughter’s eyes, yet her concern for his welfare first, James Campbell felt even more moved and distressed.

He shook his head and said,

"The invitation from the Presidential Palace did say that family members could be brought along. Although your mother and I haven’t had a wedding, we did get our marriage certificate. She is now my rightful wife; who dares to criticize?"

The reason he had always wanted to have a wedding was to tell everyone in the circle that Melody Baker was no longer a mistress, and Jenna Clark was no longer Mrs. Campbell.

Those were the words Sophie Baker needed to hear.

Having heard him say so, mother and daughter could only joyfully agree.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you, James."

Later, James Campbell left for some other business, and Melody Baker went to Sophie’s room.

Sophie was applying a face mask at that moment, and Melody Baker approached with a grin.

"Sophie, your dad is taking us to the Presidential Palace dinner. Do you think Adam will bring you along as well?"

Hearing this, Sophie couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally, thinking her mother was naive at best, foolish at worst.

"Mom, Dad can take you because you’re legally married to him, recognized by the government as Mrs. Campbell."

Sophie couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally and continued,

"Though the way you advanced your position wasn’t very pretty, it’s a moral issue, not a legal one."

Melody Baker’s face slightly changed color upon hearing Sophie’s remark about "the way you advanced your position wasn’t very pretty."

That comment sounded so awkward!

"Since Dad has been invited, he can bring his legally recognized wife and no one can say anything. But it’s different for me..."

Sophie’s eyes darkened as she spoke.

Although she was self-aware, deep down, she was still somewhat resentful to always be second to Elly Campbell. freёweɓnovel_com

"Although Adam dotes on me, the position of young Mrs. Jones is still monopolized by Elly Campbell. As long as Elly doesn’t divorce, my position will never be legitimate."

As she mentioned this, a trace of vindictiveness flashed through Sophie’s eyes, almost wishing Elly Campbell would die now.

Her gaze turned icy as she looked at Melody Baker, with a hint of sarcasm coming into her eyes.

"Mom, not everyone is as lucky as you to have a mistress become the wife."

Although what Sophie said was true, Melody Baker couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable no matter how she heard it, and her previously relaxed expression tightened upon hearing Sophie’s words.
