Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 1086. Too hasty

Chapter 1086: 1086. Too hasty

She gazed at Elly Campbell’s face, then withdrew her gaze with a complex expression.

Without saying a word, she stepped away.

Elly Campbell’s gaze lingered on Lily Jones’ face for a moment before she took it back.

At that moment, her mind was still anxiously on Adam Jones’ matters, wondering why he hadn’t come out yet when the next second, she saw Adam Jones, along with Tony Wilson and James Grant, appear on the second-floor corridor.

Everyone else saw them come downstairs too, the three men wearing grave expressions, and one couldn’t tell what topic they had just discussed.

As they approached the group, the President put on a standard smile again while James Grant walked downcast to one side.

Adam’s face had been looking unwell since he appeared from the second floor, and even after separating from the President, his expression hadn’t improved.

Seeing the three men with such expressions made Elly Campbell feel a sinking feeling in her heart.

Outsiders thought it was because the President, Adam Jones, and James Grant had discussed something and not reached an agreement, which would explain their somber faces.

But Elly Campbell knew what Adam Jones and the others had gone inside to do.

Seeing their expressions now implied that... the hypnosis had failed.

Thinking of this, Elly Campbell’s heart suddenly turned cold, her gaze fixating on Adam Jones as he walked closer.

She still held onto a sliver of hope as she looked up at Adam Jones and asked softly,

"How did it go?"

Seeing Adam Jones frown and shake his head, "It was useless, I still can’t remember anything."

The bit of luck she was holding onto collapsed upon hearing Adam Jones’ response.

The hope she had harbored was instantly doused with cold water.

"It’s... it’s okay, we can try someone else next time."

Her expression was a bit grim, filled with dejection, and she couldn’t hide it on her face.

The next second, she felt Adam Jones gently squeeze her hand as if trying to communicate something to her.

She stilled for a moment, then looked up at him. She saw his dark pupils give her a silent look, and he said nothing.

Yet it seemed Elly Campbell could actually discern the message he wanted to convey through such a look.

Her hands by her sides began to tremble slightly.

She clenched her fists to keep her emotions under control, preventing them from easily showing.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the President’s mansion, someone holding a phone took a glance in the direction of Adam Jones and sent out a text message.

When Thompson saw Adam Jones by Elly Campbell, her eyes lit up.

She tugged at Sophia Green, who was obsessively staring at Adam Jones, pulling her back to reality.

"Mom?"

"Currently, Adam and Elly Campbell’s relationship isn’t good. You couldn’t outcompete Elly before, but now, without Elly in the way, you might have a shot against that illegitimate daughter from the Campbell family."

Thompson had a confident look as she held her daughter’s arm, walking towards Cam Green, who had just finished talking with some businessmen and was walking towards them.

"Let’s call your father over and go say hello to Adam."

Sophia Green’s face showed some hesitation.

"But last time at the Clark’s, it got ugly. Would Adam be willing to talk to me?"

That time, her scheming against Elly Campbell at the Clark’s had been a total embarrassment, and surely left a terrible impression on Adam Jones.

Biting her lower lip, Sophia Green regretted having been too hasty in setting up Elly Campbell before.
