Meeting With that Pretentious Woman Again Editor: Henyee Translations Elly Campbell was the favored daughter, blessed by everything the world could offer, while Sophie was nothing more than an illegitimate child, unacknowledged by the Campbell family—an ant struggling to crawl on the ground. The deep-seated inferiority that ran through her veins only heightened her fear when faced with Elly.
