Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 1160. The plot is melodramatic yet self-moving.

Chapter 1160: 1160. The plot is melodramatic yet self-moving.

Tony Wilson shook his head and sighed, saying,

"It’s not like that. Although your dad and Shuyi Thompson...uh...had that thing, he did not intend to continue the relationship. Afterwards, he was severely beaten by your uncle and then...

Shuyi Thompson told him she was pregnant with you, and your father suddenly agreed to marry her, which also took me by surprise..."

"No matter how much I asked him, he was unwilling to talk about it. It was only during an accidental situation that I discovered that your dad had been diagnosed with a terminal illness with, at best, two to three years to live... But unexpectedly, he managed to hold on until your sister was born..."

At this point, there was a hint of regret in Tony Wilson’s tone.

"It’s a miracle he lasted five or six years. Even if Lily Bankston hadn’t killed him by then, he probably wouldn’t have had much time left."

Hearing this, Adam Jones understood.

Henry Jones did not want to be a burden to Lily Bankston, which is why he resolutely decided to marry Shuyi Thompson when she approached him with news of her pregnancy.

Although the story is somewhat melodramatic, he did not find his father’s actions particularly touching.

He just one-sidedly thought that what he did was for the good of Lily Bankston, not realizing that his abandonment hurt her more than widowhood would have.

Didn’t his action contribute to Lily Bankston’s twisted mentality?

To her dying day, she never knew that a man’s self-affection had ruined the second half of her life.

Although his father’s intentions were initially good, if it were Adam Jones, he felt that he would choose to tell Elly.

In marriage, if partners can share joy, they should also be able to share suffering. In his view, the only right way to do good for someone is a way the other person is willing to accept.

After getting the answers from Tony Wilson, Adam Jones did not pursue what exactly had happened back then.

Now that both the father and Lily Bankston were dead, delving into the past mattered little.

As for Shuyi Thompson...

The Thompson Family had once been illustrious, but by the time Joseph Thompson came along, they had already declined.

Her scheming to climb into Henry Jones’s bed was clear without asking.

What repulsed Adam Jones was that he himself had become a tool for her marriage into the Jones Family and, indirectly, had caused his father’s death.

Without Shuyi Thompson, his father and Aunt Lily would probably have had a happy life, and many subsequent events would never have happened.

Thinking this, Adam Jones couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.

After the presidential election, the biggest news was that the Chief of the Finance Bureau, Ian Foster, had been exposed for crimes including corruption and murder, with undeniable evidence.

The criticism online, which had already settled, flared up again.

Initially, people had just denounced Ian Foster for lacking integrity, and it had quieted down after a while.

But this time, with so many of his crimes exposed, including murder, and links to the plane crash incident of Jones Group’s chairman, Henry Jones, the internet was in an uproar.

The criticism was fiercer than ever—

"Damn, I’m glad I didn’t vote for him because of his sweet talk. If such a villain became President, would we ever have good days?"

"Lucky the Jones Family issued that statement early. Otherwise, I might’ve almost voted for him with my whole family."
