Chapter 101: 101. Court Mail Dispatch_1
Whether it was seven years ago or now, his reservations about James Campbell’s capabilities had always been there. Eight years ago, during the Campbell crisis, everyone thought it was James Campbell who had stabilized the situation at the last minute, but Adam knew very well that it wasn’t James Campbell who had secured the company.
On the surface, it was an investment from Jones that had stabilized Campbell’s operations, but Adam, having been personally involved at the time, felt that the money from Jones was simply icing on the cake, not a timely aid in a moment of genuine need.
Even without that money from Jones, Campbell would have pulled through.
He had suspected back then that someone had been secretly helping Campbell, but considering how proud a daughter Elly Campbell was, if Campbell hadn’t been desperate, how could she have come to offer herself after doing such a thing?
So at the time, he only had his suspicions but didn’t think too deeply about it.
But now, thinking it over carefully, if the events he had encountered back then and the car accident Lily experienced were all caused by Sophie Baker, the person capable of helping Sophie deal with those matters was likely to be James Campbell; yet if James Campbell didn’t have the ability, did that mean there was a mastermind helping him from behind?
"Who could it be?"
Adam Jones squinted thoughtfully and murmured softly.
However, all of these assumptions were based on the premise that it was Sophie Baker who had done those things. But what if it wasn’t Sophie?
Adam’s thoughts turned to Elly again.
The entire affair still pointed to Elly as the prime suspect up to now.
Back then, he heard Elly’s voice; plus, given the ability to carry out those deeds and Elly’s background, what if the cleanup had been done by Leader Campbell?
Everything would then make perfect sense.
But Leader Campbell... that man...
Even though he was not very familiar with Leader Campbell, he had heard that Leader Campbell was an extremely upright military man, imbued with the pride and bearing unique to soldiers. How could such a proud man help Elly to commit those acts?
Despite much thought, Adam could not make sense of what had happened back then and felt increasingly restless.
That incident was a knot in his heart; if he didn’t clear it up, as long as he faced Elly, it was impossible to act as if nothing had ever happened.
With that thorn still present, there was no way they could last for the long term.
Since Elly’s return to the country, he had gradually realized that he had never actually let go of her, even after four years, he still couldn’t let go.
That woman was like a scar on his heart; as ugly as it was, he could only keep it because he simply didn’t have the courage to completely erase her from his life.
For the next half month, Adam didn’t seek out Elly again, nor did he bring up the matter of her returning to the Jones family.
He had thought that not being able to let go of Elly might not be because he harbored feelings for her, but rather because being concerned about her for so many years had become a habit—after all, she had dropped him with a simple "I need to go away," disappearing without a trace for four years. Perhaps he was merely unwilling to accept it.
Once he let go of that unwillingness and stopped deliberately paying attention to Elly’s presence, perhaps his thoughts about Elly in his heart would become utterly clear.
However, half a month later, he received a package from the court.
"President, this is for you."
Robert Green placed the document envelope in front of Adam, his voice much lower. There was no need to look at the content; just seeing that the sender’s address was from the Boston People’s Court, one could guess what it was.
