Chapter 279: President Jones and Miss Campbell’s relationship_1

It wasn’t just Sophie Baker who was unwilling to let it go, James Campbell also felt the same. As a father, being publicly manipulated by his daughter and being called out as a cheater was humiliating. After all, he was the chairman of a major conglomerate—where could he possibly put his face?

However, perversely, Elly Campbell didn’t fear him at all, and he didn’t have any leverage over her. Plus, he had now realized something.

Adam Jones didn’t seem to care about Sophie in the slightest; it was clear that he was on Elly Campbell’s side.

With Adam Jones’s interference, there was nothing he could do to Elly Campbell, not to mention, the old man at home had always been on her side.

The more James Campbell thought about it, the more frustrated he became, with no way to vent, as he had no means to deal with Elly Campbell, feeling completely choked up.

Melody Baker was actually better at reading the room than Sophie Baker. Seeing the current situation, she knew very well that forcing James Campbell to stick his neck out for her again was unlikely, and it could even embarrass him to the point of rage, landing the blame on her.

It was better to take this opportunity to ask for something substantial.

With that in mind, she pulled Sophie Baker, who was still feeling aggrieved, back and signalled her with her eyes before saying to James Campbell:

"Let it go, Brother Sheng. Anyway, it doesn’t hurt anymore, just let it be."

As she spoke, she reddened her eyes and lowered her head to weep silently, appearing to bear an enormous grievance stoically.

True to form, when James Campbell saw her like this, his heart softened. His face even showed a hint of apology and guilt as he patted Melody Baker’s shoulder and said:

"Don’t be sad. Regarding this incident, I will definitely find a way to get justice for you. I will properly compensate you for the insult you’ve endured this time."

Melody Baker and Sophie Baker immediately brightened up upon hearing this. They both knew very well that the compensation James Campbell spoke of was not just going to be in financial terms, but would also mean much greater benefits for the mother and daughter.

Just as they were thinking this, they heard James Campbell say, "Tomorrow, the company is holding a monthly shareholder meeting. Sophie, come with dad and see what it’s like."

On hearing this, the Baker family’s faces lit up with joy, although they tried not to show their excitement too openly, barely containing their thrill as they held onto James Campbell’s arm—

"Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you, Brother Sheng."

As long as they could secure a position within the Campbell family, as for Elly Campbell...

Teaching that little wretch a lesson was just a matter of time.

Meanwhile, on Elly Campbell’s side, after James Campbell and the others had left, the waiter had already brought over the dishes Adam Jones had ordered earlier.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Since they were seated in a public area, not a private room, and considering the commotion that had just occurred, many people in the restaurant couldn’t help but focus their attention on the two of them.

Seeing Adam Jones with a woman in a public setting was a rare occurrence, and everyone was curious about what kind of relationship the head of the Jones corporation had with the miss of the Campbell Family.

Now that the initial shock had subsided, they also realized that Adam Jones’s earlier seemingly unintentional remarks targeting the Baker mother and daughter were actually in defense of Elly Campbell.

Adam Jones, a man known for his proud and aloof nature, getting involved in someone else’s family affairs was a clear indication that his relationship with Miss Campbell was far from simple.

Once again, hushed voices filled with curiosity began to circulate in whispers around them.

"Could Miss Campbell be President Jones’s girlfriend?"

"It’s hard to say, but Miss Campbell is so beautiful, she really matches well with President Jones."

"..."

Although these voices were hushed, Elly Campbell could still vaguely make out some of the whispers.
