Chapter 220: 220. The lady’s company is in trouble_1

Adam Jones’s gaze swept over his phone, a call from Robert Green.

Robert Green wouldn’t call at this time unless there was something important.

Stepping out of the ward while pressing the phone, he hit the answer button, "Speak."

His voice, just awakened, carried a sexy raspiness, deep and enchanting.

On the other end, Robert Green, having received the answer, didn’t delay. He began anxiously, "President, Mrs. Campbell’s company is in trouble."

Even though he had divorced Elly Campbell, the "Mrs. Campbell" that Robert Green referred to could not be anyone else.

As soon as Adam heard that Elly Campbell’s company was in trouble, his expression darkened, "Clarify."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several news links that Robert Green had sent popped up on his phone.

After briefly reviewing the links, Adam’s expression grew even graver, a captivating gleam emerging from the depths of his dark eyes.

After hanging up on Robert Green, Adam pulled out his phone and dialed another number; it was immediately answered. The voice on the other end sounded somewhat impatient, "I’m busy right now."

Adam disregarded their tone, his voice ominously low, "What’s the deal with Brayman? I asked you to help Elly, is this your idea of help?"

The person on the other end was caught off guard by Adam’s questioning tone and after a stunned pause, a roar came through, "Hold on, I’m dealing with something important right now."

Without waiting for Adam to speak, the person had already hung up the call.

Adam, clutching his phone, remained silent, his face stony as he recalled the breaking news. Elly Campbell had landed herself in a real mess this time.

His gaze narrowed thoughtfully as he glanced toward the direction of the ward before dialing Robert Green again.

"President."

"Suppress the news related to Brayman for now."

He hadn’t figured out the situation yet; everything would have to wait until he saw that person again.

Was this incident simply a case of malicious competition between two companies, or was someone specifically targeting Elly Campbell?

Thinking of the latter possibility, a chilling, hostile light flickered briefly in Adam’s brooding eyes.

Not long after Adam had stepped out, Elly Campbell awoke. The slight antiseptic scent in her nostrils reminded her of where she was.

The anesthesia on her forehead had worn off. Although a night had passed, the wound was still faintly painful.

She propped herself up to sit, and in the ward, now without anyone else, Adam Jones’s figure was nowhere to be seen. He must have left after she fell asleep the previous day.

Shaking her head to clear it of lingering thoughts, she got out of bed. It was just a minor concussion and after medication last night, along with a restful sleep, she didn’t feel any dizziness or nausea anymore.

It was only when she got out of bed that she noticed the folded chair, which had been by the wardrobe, was now placed beside her bed.

Could Adam Jones have slept here?

Elly glanced at the other large bed in the room. The bedclothes were neat and tidy, showing no signs of having been slept in.

Elly Campbell had thought that Adam Jones would’ve left after she fell asleep last night, but what was the deal with the chair at the side of her bed?

Elly bit her lip, somewhat perplexed, and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

This time, she had taken a day off specifically to fight the custody battle in court; she hadn’t expected such a turn of events.

Lately, her company had been cooperating with Zhongrui Chemical Group on a major project, which should’ve been concluded in these days. As she had been personally involved from the start, she didn’t want the project to be delayed on her account.
