Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 106.GouSanDaSi_1

"Yes, what about it?"

Sophie Baker’s hand at her side trembled imperceptibly and then clenched firmly, barely allowing herself to calm down as she looked at Adam Jones and continued, "You know, I’m very scared of her. If she hadn’t left, I definitely wouldn’t have dared to go in and save you."

She spoke, avoiding the main issue, and gently bit her lower lip, looking particularly pitiful.

"Did you really see her?"

Adam Jones squinted and repeated the question. His gaze fixed on Sophie’s face became more intense, as if the light emanating from his eyes could pierce through Sophie.

Sophie Baker felt a tremor in her heart but tried to appear calm as she said, "Adam, what’s wrong? You... you don’t believe me? Do you think I’m framing my sister?"

As her words fell, Sophie Baker’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Seeing that Adam Jones was indifferent and did not dispute her question, it was clear he accepted Sophie’s conjecture.

She panicked and reached out to grasp Adam Jones’s hand that was on the table, "Adam..."

Adam Jones brushed her hand away impatiently as if he was eager to avoid touching any dirty things, and at that moment, Helen Melendy, who had just finished discussing matters with Harry Hall, passed by them.

Helen Melendy naturally saw Sophie Baker holding Adam Jones’s hand. After glancing at Adam Jones, she let out a cold laugh with undisguised disdain in her eyes.

"You really are so despicable that not even a bone is left, calling a lawyer to talk about mediation on one hand, and on the other, fooling around with someone who is unfit for public appearance. Elly must have been blind to fall for you!"

Adam Jones frowned and looked at Helen Melendy with icy eyes then his gaze shifted to Harry Hall, who had followed up behind her, and said, "This time I’m letting it slide for your sake. Go back and teach her when to shut up!"

"Adam Jones, what on earth are you, I need you to... mmm!"

Helen Melendy had just heard what Adam Jones said when her fiery temper exploded, but before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by Harry Hall, who reluctantly took her out of the café.

After Helen Melendy was taken away by Harry Hall, Adam Jones turned back to Sophie Baker, his tone indifferent, "Continue."

After being interrupted by Helen Melendy like that, the sad emotions that Sophie Baker had been brewing had already mostly dissipated.

Especially after hearing Helen Melendy call her an illegitimate daughter unfit for the public eye, the unbearable memories that Elly Campbell had brought to her flooded back into her mind, filling her with biting resentment.

Cooling her heart, she looked at Adam Jones, offered a bitter smile, "Adam, you know I’ve always wanted to return to the Campbell Family, to be the Campbell Family’s legitimate second daughter, not the illegitimate daughter others speak of; so regardless, I wouldn’t have had any conflict with Elly before entering the Campbell Family. I still hoped she could help me join the Campbell Family."

This time, she did not hide her thoughts in front of Adam Jones. She knew that Adam Jones had been fully aware of such thoughts for a long time.

"So, at that time... I didn’t think to bring her up at all. It was only after saving you and learning that you were the grand boss of the Jones Corporation that I told you directly, even though I knew you could find out without my saying so. I never expected..."
