Chapter 229: 229. Just asking if your face hurts_1

While Lily Jones had not yet recovered from being harshly reprimanded by Elly Campbell, and Sophie Baker was deeply hurt by Adam Jones’s indifferent attitude towards Elly, Adam had completely ignored both of them.

Lily couldn’t believe that her brother, who had always doted on her from a young age, could remain indifferent when he saw Elly hitting her, and didn’t get angry when Elly pointed at his nose and cursed him. Instead, he even took the initiative to offer to take her to the airport.

Could he have been hexed?

"Brother! Come back! Brother!!"

Lily felt like her heart condition was acting up again, and this time it was her own brother who had provoked it.

Elly, in a hurry to return to Alaska to handle the company’s affairs, did not want to waste time arguing with Adam about trivial matters.

So, when she saw Robert Green stop his car in front of her and Adam, she directly opened the door and sat inside.

Seeing her decisiveness, the corners of Adam’s lips subtly curved, and afterwards, he also got into the car.

On the way to the airport, Elly was still looking through emails sent by the CEO from the company. Although she seemed calm on the surface, the company was her mother’s lifelong effort and had never encountered any problems. Now that it had landed in her hands, such a huge scandal had erupted. Adam knew that Elly’s heart was not as calm as her exterior suggested.

"How are you planning to handle this situation?"

Adam lazily leaned back against the leather seat behind him, his tall frame intentionally or unintentionally edging closer to Elly.

All of Elly’s attention was on the company’s affairs, and she did not notice his subtle movement. Upon hearing his question, however, she paused.

Turning off the email on her phone, she pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly and said, "I haven’t decided yet."

Adam heard the weariness in her voice, his brow furrowing as he asked again, "Do you need my help?"

In fact, he was hoping that Elly would take the initiative to ask for his help, but he also knew very well how proud this woman was. Even if she was in dire straits, it was unlikely she would turn to him for assistance.

As expected, as soon as he asked, Elly rejected the offer without a second thought, "No need."

Despite the appeal of his offer to help, Elly still declined firmly and decisively, just like when she had rejected his suggestion of getting back together with a firm "I am unwilling."

Even though Adam had anticipated such a response, he still felt an uncontrollable sense of disappointment. He hid this feeling well, merely snorting coldly, "Never mind then, the Young Master doesn’t have that much time to spare."

Sitting in front driving, Robert Green, upon hearing his boss’s pretentious and conceited behavior, couldn’t help but lift his hand to heavily rub his face.

No time?

If he had no time, why had he kept her company all night long?

No time, and yet he had ordered someone to suppress Brayman’s negative news first thing in the morning?

No time, and still he was eager to take her to the airport?

Robert felt that any of these questions could swell his boss’s conceited face, but the problem was, he didn’t dare to ask, not even one question.

So he just had to hold it in, so much so that his kidneys were starting to hurt.

If he had known that being the boss’s driver could harm his kidneys, he would have called in sick and not come at all.

Adam’s words took Robert on a journey from facial pain to kidney pain, while Elly merely glanced at him indifferently before turning her gaze away.
