Chapter 230: 230. Why so stubborn_1

It was he who asked her if she needed help, and now he’s putting on a "begging daddy" attitude—what is the meaning of this?

Elly Campbell had never intended to lower all her pride and beg Adam Jones like she did in the past, not to mention, what was her relationship with Adam Jones now?

Even if their faces hadn’t been totally torn apart, the two had become very stiff due to the dispute over the custody of their son. Did he still expect her to beg for his help?

He really thinks highly of himself!

In her heart, Elly scoffed at Adam Jones, even displaying her disdain openly on her face, which made Adam Jones feel so angry that his insides hurt.

Was it so hard for her to ask for his help?

Wouldn’t he help her if she asked? Why is she so stubborn!

Adam ground his teeth and glared at Elly all the way until he noticed that beyond that one disdainful look she’d given him earlier, she hadn’t spared him another glance. Adam felt his liver ache from the frustration once again.

"President, Madam, we’ve arrived at the airport."

Elly had completely ignored Robert Green’s address to her, knowing full well that Aide Baker either did it deliberately or simply had a bad memory. She corrected him countless times, yet he continued to call her as he pleased.

"Thank you."

After unfastening her seatbelt and getting out of the car, she politely thanked Adam Jones, "Thank you, President Jones, for the ride. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime if I have the chance."

After she finished speaking, without giving Adam Jones an extra glance, she turned and walked quickly towards the airport.

She had booked the earliest available flight back to Alaska.

Having checked in, and with time to spare, Elly waited in the airport VIP lounge for half an hour before beginning to board the plane.

Being in first class, she didn’t have to queue for long and soon found herself seated, waiting for the flight to take off.

Head leaning against the backrest, she closed her eyes and pondered over the issue at the company, trying to figure out the whole story.

Less than ten minutes later, she felt someone sit down next to her but didn’t pay much attention—until the gentle voice of the flight attendant echoed from the aisle next to her.

"May I ask what you’d like to drink, sir?"

"Coffee, thank you."

The familiar voice instantly made Elly’s eyes snap open, and as she turned her head, she saw Adam Jones looking at her, his lips curling into a semblance of a smile.

Elly’s eyebrows furrowed, and just as she was about to speak, the flight attendant turned towards her with the same intoxicating gentleness, "Ma’am, what would you like to drink?"

"A glass of milk for her."

Before Elly could speak, Adam had preempted her, cutting off her chance to order.

The flight attendant glanced between them with a subtle look of surprise.

As the magnate and president of Jones Corporation, a figure of power in the business world, even if she didn’t read financial magazines, it would be impossible for the flight attendant not to recognize Adam Jones.

Because this man has a handsome face that could make top entertainment industry beauties feel ashamed, his photo frequently graced the pages of entertainment gossip magazines.

But because Adam Jones was so focused on clean and self-improvement, with no female company except for his sister Lily Jones, if it weren’t for a recent appearance on Twitter with him holding a little boy who looked almost exactly like him, many people might have assumed that the head of Jones Corporation was gay.

Even though the gossip magazines couldn’t catch any scandal on him, his face alone was enough to boost the sales of an entire issue of a gossip magazine, which goes to show just how handsome this man was.
