Chapter 102: 102. When she gets angry, she can hit someone_1

When Adam Jones saw the document, a trace of gloom instantly tainted his cold face.

He opened the file to find a court summons inside, stating that the date for his divorce proceedings with Elly Campbell had been scheduled and that mediation was being arranged by court personnel.

Impatiently, he tossed the document aside and picked up the phone to dial an extension, "Come to my office."

When Robert Green saw his boss surrounded by a terribly oppressive atmosphere, he quickly found an excuse to leave. Just as he reached the door, he saw Harry Hall, the chief legal advisor of Jones Corporation, walking towards the CEO’s Office.

"CEO Hall."

"Hmm."

Harry gave a slight nod and pushed open the door to the CEO’s Office, walking in.

Seeing the frighteningly dark expression on Adam’s face and the court summons lying on his desk, Harry could tell what had enraged him.

Upon his entrance, Adam casually lifted his eyelids and leaned back in his chair, his voice cold as he asked, "It’s been so long, why haven’t you handled this divorce case for me yet?"

With that, he narrowed his eyes, a cold light gathering within them, "Can’t even deal with that female lawyer Elly hired?"

Hearing Adam mention this, something seemed to cross Harry’s mind and he laughed helplessly, "Indeed, I can’t handle her; she gets violent when angered."

Adam watched his friend’s lightly smiling lips curve into a faint smile, his eyes thoughtfully squinting.

His good friend had always been this way, cool and detached, never showing any other emotion, appearing approachable but in reality, distant and indifferent.

However, what was with the doting wrapped up in his friend’s smile now?

"Are you familiar with Elly’s lawyer?"

He asked, squinting.

Harry was taken aback for a moment, his gaze drifting as if recalling something, then after a while, the smile at the corner of his mouth faded, and he simply nodded, "Not really, we went to the same school at one point."

He made it sound trivial, but Adam could see that the relationship between the two was far more than what could be summed up by the words "not really familiar."

However, at the moment, Adam had absolutely no interest in gossiping about his friend; he just lightly tapped the document on the desk with his fingertips and said, "The court intends to arrange mediation for us; let them set a time."

This was an agreement to mediate—a surprising concession from the lofty Adam Jones, the CEO of Jones Corporation, who would actually consider spending time on something as seemingly wasteful as divorce mediation, a notion many successful men would scoff at.

Harry glanced at Adam, in the end, said nothing, just nodded, and left.

"Mediation?"

When Elly Campbell heard from Helen Melendy about what the court had proposed, she laughed, "The court really is too concerned about us common folk, but tell them for me that aside from the divorce, I don’t want to waste any more time on Adam Jones."

"I always knew you were someone with spirit and courage, Elly. Why on earth would you not divorce a jerk like Adam Jones? Are you planning to mourn him every year during Qingming festival?"

Helen happily took a sip of her coffee before continuing, "The people in their circle are all bad news. Birds of a feather flock together, Elly, you mustn’t go soft."

As she said this, Helen took another sip of her coffee and went on, "Elly, let me tell you, Adam Jones is scum, and his best friend is even worse. Scum with scum; that’s all they are. I...what are you doing here!"

Helen was speaking vehemently but abruptly changed her expression upon spotting someone approaching. Her stunningly beautiful face, previously animated, was now filled with anger.
