Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 1096. Not yet reduced to selling oneself.

Chapter 1096: 1096. Not yet reduced to selling oneself.

Adam Jones listened to Cam Green’s words and still responded with a light smile, his thin lips parting slightly as he said,

"Master Green, your method for making easy money does sound good, but I, though down on my luck, should not yet be so destitute as to resort to selling myself."

Cam Green: "..."

Elly Campbell: "..."

Thompson Shuyi, Sophia Green: "..."

James Grant and his daughter: "..."

The way he said that...

James Grant held back his laughter with great restraint, but only by not looking at Cam Green’s current complexion, afraid he’d burst out laughing with one more glance.

Elly Campbell, meanwhile, grimaced fiercely and cursed Adam Jones thoroughly in her mind.

How could he talk like that? He’s not young anymore and still doesn’t know how to speak properly, but...

Listening to it feels so delightful.

It’s okay. If you fall on hard times, your wife will support you.

Elly Campbell pursed her lips and similarly held back a laugh without speaking.

Cam Green’s face contorted visibly.

Although Adam had not spoken of him directly, wasn’t the implication of his words that Cam was so down and out that he had to sell himself?

Cam Green’s face turned an angry shade of blue. He had come to make friendly overtures, and this was how Adam responded to him.

Now he wasn’t sure whether Adam was genuinely lacking in social intelligence or if he was being intentionally sarcastic.

If it was back before he lost his memory, maybe he would have been deliberately mocking him, but now, wasn’t he supposed to have amnesia?

At this moment, Cam Green was nearly driven mad by Adam’s attitude.

Adam spoke earnestly, with innocent eyes, as if he hadn’t the slightest intention of making fun of Cam.

After all, his response had been about his own misfortune, not someone else’s.

Besides, being supported by his wife now, wasn’t that in itself a sign of being down and out?

Adam thought to himself with a clear conscience, feeling no inner turmoil.

Cam Green, preoccupied with his thoughts and convinced that Adam truly hadn’t recovered his memory,

So treated Adam’s terribly embarrassing remarks as just the result of a low emotional intelligence, a lack of conversational skill.

After all, with Adam in his position, even if he pointed fingers and insulted someone, people would let him, and afterward, they’d ask if he enjoyed the rant.

Thus, he took Adam’s words about "destitution" and "selling oneself" as the sign of a low EQ.

Cam tried to recompose his contorted face from the anger Adam caused him and was about to speak to save face when he heard Sherry Huang say,

"Big brother, your taste in women is off, and so is your art of conversation."

Elly Campbell looked at Sherry Huang’s delicate face, bearing a look of disapproval, and that thick English accent made her brows twitch involuntarily.

"Master Green is kindly telling you an easy way to make money, and you accuse him of being destitute enough to sell himself."

Cam Green: "..."

The Jones couple: "..."

Thompson Shuyi, Sophia Green: "..."

James Grant: "..."

Cam Green’s features, having just recovered, twisted yet again.

Had James Grant brought this English girl over just to humiliate him?

Seeing her naive and innocent appearance made him want to strangle her.

At that moment, James Grant, his face full of distress, genuinely wanted to throttle his troublesome daughter.

They were all fine before she had to blatantly point out the implication in Adam’s words, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

Looking at the gloomy and contorted expressions of the Green family of three, James Grant could only force a dry laugh.

And that wasn’t the end of it, as Sherry Huang seemed not to realize her faux pas and continued,

"I originally thought the gown you designed for your wife was quite nice, and I even wanted to ask you for a few tips, but now... hmm! Hmm!!"
