Previously, Lily Jones had mentioned over the phone that Sophia Taylor wanted to join Yinghua and hoped to do so through connections.
Elly Campbell didn't entirely look down on the idea of using connections to get ahead.
What she couldn't stand was people like Sophia Taylor—pretending to condemn shortcuts while secretly trying to take them herself.
Not to mention that getting into Yinghua as a teacher wasn't even the kind of place where connections could easily work. And why did Sophia assume that those with better family circumstances were necessarily using connections to get in?
Was she somehow more qualified than the "connection users" just because she wasn't relying on favors?
It was no different from people assuming that single women who are attractive and live lavishly must all be mistresses.
After quietly listening to Sophia complain, Elly Campbell offered a calm comment:
"So, what's your plan? Why have you come to me about this?"
Sophia looked a bit embarrassed.
