Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 100: The person behind _1

Adam Jones had only one sister, Lily Jones. Sophie Baker had saved her, and had even lost her uterus in the process, along with being beaten half to death before while trying to save him. The entire Jones family was deeply grateful to her.

Especially his sister, Lily Jones, who always said that Sophie Baker had saved her life, and that she owed her a debt of gratitude.

Although the Jones family later used their connections to find a matching uterus for a transplant for Sophie, and now she was no different from any other woman, her kindness was something the Joneses, especially Lily, always kept in mind.

After he married Elly Campbell, Lily would often create opportunities for him and Sophie, even going so far as to make Elly feel uncomfortable on Sophie’s behalf several times.

He was not unaware of these matters, yet he couldn’t be bothered to intervene, especially not to defend Elly. Gradually, this made Elly convinced that Sophie was the woman in his heart.

In the following years, Sophie’s appetite grew due to her indebtedness to the Jones family, but it remained confined to money. He didn’t mind; she wanted money, he gave it to her, since money was the least of the Jones family’s concerns.

But in the past two years, Sophie had started to overstep her bounds, especially during the four years Elly had been away from him, her intentions became increasingly evident.

She even hinted about her relationship with him in Elly’s presence, both overtly and covertly, which irked him somewhat.

In previous years, Sophie had taken quite a bit of money from him to start a company for her mother and subsequently used his name quietly to pull business.

When he first realized this, he did not interfere, perhaps because they thought he was indulging them. The mother-daughter duo went from acting covertly to blatantly using his name to swindle others.

He had Robert Green warn them several times, and although the mother and daughter quieted down, it completely eroded the last vestiges of the gratitude he had felt for them.

Sitting in the office, recalling past events and considering Sophie’s favor towards him and his sister, Adam Jones’ gaze suddenly deepened. "Is it really such a coincidence?"

Sophie had first saved him and then saved Lily; both their lives were saved by her, one after the other.

From his understanding of Sophie over the years, she was not the kind of person to selflessly risk her life for others, especially for people like them who were strangers to her back then.

Giving up her life for strangers wasn’t something that seemed likely for Sophie.

But if everything was orchestrated by Sophie, she was taking too big of a gamble.

After all, in both instances, Sophie was indeed close to death. Would she really go to such lengths just to get close to the Jones family?

If that were true, then that woman was terrifying; ruthless to others and even more to herself, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals.

Adam Jones narrowed his eyes, a cold glint passing through them.

Adam Jones was not someone who didn’t know how to return a favor, but he detested those who exploited gratitude.

In the past few years, Sophie had nearly exhausted his patience. She better not do anything that crossed his red line, or else...

Back then, all the relevant witnesses and evidence had been thoroughly disposed of. If everything was related to Sophie, how did she manage it, being someone without power or influence, both back then and now?

Could it be James Campbell who had helped her from behind the scenes?

This possibility flashed through Adam Jones’s mind, only to be immediately dismissed by him.
