thought that in the four years we haven't seen each other, something useful might have finally found its way
into your brain. Turns out, in those four years, all you've done is aged, while your brain has remained stagnant,”
Elly Campbell's voice was cold and terrifying, as if she had just emerged from an ice cellar.
Adam Jones had been standing by Elly Campbell's side in silence, not sure why he was there.
It seemed an instinct; he just wanted to stand behind her and support her.
His gut told him that even though Elly Campbell might seem overpowering and invincible at this moment, her
heart must be incredibly fragile.
Seeing the many doubtful looks cast from a distance, Adam Jones couldn’t hold back and reminded her, “Elly,
stop talking.”
He pulled her to his side, his posture protective.
James Campbell had no concern for dignity, parading his illegitimate daughter around, but Adam did not want
Elly to lose face on his account in such a setting.
The onlookers might not express it openly, but their eyes, filled with the delight of watching unfold, had
clearly started to speculate about Elly’s identity.
However, Adam Jones's concerns were misinterpreted by Elly Campbell as something else.

“What's the matter, President Jones? I've barely said a few words, haven't even lifted a hand yet, and you're
already heartbroken, can’t bear it?”
She looked at Adam Jones, her eyes icy.
Right now, she felt the misery of fighting alone was truly unbearable, but she had no one to turn to for help.
“You're quite diligent indeed. The moment | said I'd cdeal with her, you couldn’t wait to followhere.”
Each of Elly’s words was barbed, causing Adam Jones’s brow to furrow tighter and tighter.
He wanted to explain himself to Elly, but felt that under the current circumstances and with her mood, any
explanation would seem disingenuous to her.
So he simply stated, “Sophie is my friend, and | don’t want her to be embarrassed in this situation.”
“Is she your friend or your woman, and what does that have to do with me? Do you think you, Adam Jones, have
any right to makefeign pleasantry towards her just because you're involved?”
Adam Jones had not anticipated that his earlier attempt to calm the waters would provoke such a strong reaction
from Elly. The rejection and anger revealed in her eyes stung him to the core. For a moment, he forgot to defend
himself.
Sophie Baker, too, had not expected Adam Jones to take her side, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her
previous timidity instantly dissolved.
The swent for James Campbell.
