Chapter 1098: 1098. Really knows how to glorify her wild man

James Grant seemed to realize that the atmosphere was off only after he had finished speaking, so he said to Adam Jones,

"President Jones, I’m truly sorry for today. I wasn’t able to be of help to you. If there’s anything I can assist with in the future, please feel free to come to me."

With that, he took his daughter and swaggered off.

Others might not have known why President Jones had called Adam Jones and James Grant to the second floor, but Cam Green did.

So, he understood what "unable to be of help" referred to.

Since he couldn’t be of help, it seemed that he really hadn’t been able to restore Adam’s memory.

Cam became even more certain of this.

Mrs. Thompson saw that although Adam didn’t treat her with the same terrible attitude as before, his attitude towards Elly Campbell wasn’t good either, and he hadn’t given Cam any respect.

She simply couldn’t figure out what her son was truly thinking.

Seeing Cam’s face contorted with anger, and now that James Grant and his daughter had left, she quickly stepped forward, trying to diffuse the tension,

"Adam, your Uncle Cam is just concerned about your health. He means no harm. That accident really frightened your mother. She hasn’t been able to sleep well at all during the time you were away."

Elly Campbell watched Mrs. Thompson put on quite the performance in front of her, her eyes gleaming with deeper irony.

No wonder this woman was a source of joy for her.

Everyone knew she was foolish, yet she thought others were fools, acting like a clown in front of them.

Little did she know, she was the most ludicrous and laughable character in this play.

Adam didn’t expose her but simply looked at Mrs. Thompson’s face, which had a healthy glow, and smiled.

As President Jones’ spokesperson, Elly didn’t need to be so polite. After all, she was now the wicked daughter-in-law in a strained marriage with Adam.

She intended to play the caring and obedient daughter, so she’d take on the role of the bad woman who sows discord.

She looked at Mrs. Thompson’s well-maintained face, almost without a wrinkle, and laughed,

"Each night without sleep, yet Mrs. Thompson, you still look so well. It seems Master Green takes very good care of you."

Her implication was clear to everyone.

Could she really look as fresh and radiant as she did if she hadn’t slept well?

Mrs. Thompson stiffened at her words, her gaze unconsciously turning towards Adam.

But she saw that Adam didn’t show any doubt towards her because of Elly’s words, and she felt somewhat relieved.

Even though she didn’t know what was actually happening, the fact that Adam wasn’t rejecting her as before was a good thing to her.

Thinking this, she pretended not to notice Elly’s sarcasm and laughed,

"Yes, after all these years, your Uncle Cam has taken very good care of me. I feel fortunate to have met such a good man after your father passed."

As she spoke, her face showed a trace of emotion.

Having dealt with Mrs. Thompson’s audacity, Elly found that her tolerance for such behavior had significantly increased.

She managed to keep her composure in the face of Mrs. Thompson’s shamelessness.

"Uncle Cam"? Ha!

She really knew how to gild her paramour.

Elly’s gaze lingered on Mrs. Thompson’s blissful face for a moment before withdrawing her hand from Adam’s.

"If you and your son want to put on a display of maternal and filial affection, I won’t disturb you."

With that, she began to turn away, but her wrist was quickly seized by Adam.
