Chapter 282: 282. Getting into trouble_1

"If it’s just a nickname, Elly, why are you unwilling to change it?"

Adam Jones had timely replaced the previous "CEO Campbell" with "Elly."

Elly Campbell was so cornered by his question that she couldn’t speak and chose to remain silent.

It was indeed just a nickname and shouldn’t be a problem, but...for her to call him "Adam" now as she had done so unguardedly in the past, she truly couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Seeing her silence, Adam didn’t press her further.

For him, Elly’s current attitude, whether it was voluntary or for the sake of their son, was at least much calmer than before.

After dinner, Adam offered to take Elly back to the hotel, and this time she didn’t refuse and even agreed quite readily.

When they got to the underground parking of the hotel and got out of the car one after the other, Elly noticed that Adam didn’t seem to have any intention to leave immediately and frowned subtly.

"Jones..."

Bang—

The words Elly was about to say were interrupted by a loud slamming of a car door.

Both of their brows furrowed simultaneously as they looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that not far from them, about a dozen men had alighted from a van, each carrying a metal rod in their hands and looking menacing as they walked towards them.

Adam’s eyes sharpened as he instinctively pulled Elly behind him, his deep gaze calmly resting on the group of men.

There were ten of them, and they quickly surrounded Adam and Elly, clearly targeting them.

"What are you doing?"

Adam stood in front of Elly, his protective gesture making her pause and stare at him in a daze.

"Isn’t that President Jones?"

The man leading the group smiled and twirled the metal rod in his palm.

"Since you recognize me, you should know who to mess with and who not to."

"Hehe, of course."

That man nodded to Adam, "We’re not here to bother President Jones. We are looking for that woman by your side. Please make way, President Jones, and don’t make it hard for us brothers."

The man with the metal rod pointed at Elly Campbell by Adam’s side, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Looking for me?"

Elly came to her senses, looked at the group in front of her, and while her eyes seemed calm, a hint of wariness emerged.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

No sooner had Elly finished speaking than a skinny, short man from the back squeezed forward and said accusatorily, "You damn quack, your incompetence killed my old man, and I’ve come for your life."

"You’ve come for my life?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Elly’s eyes, and then she smiled at the group before her, "You’ve got the wrong person. I’ve never had any medical malpractice on my hands."

"I don’t care whether you’ve had malpractice or not, I’m looking for you."

As soon as those words finished, the man charged towards Elly with the metal rod raised.

Adam quickly pulled Elly behind him and grabbed the descending rod, kicking the man far away with one swift movement of his leg.

At that moment, his expression was particularly frightening. His profound features seemed to be coated with a layer of frost as he stood in front of Elly, swiftly taking down the group of men.

None of these men had anticipated Adam’s combat skills to be so adept; each of them sustained injuries big or small, and inherently felt a sense of dread towards Adam. However, they were reluctant to just withdraw like that.
