Chapter 316: 316. You aren’t faking this injury, are you_1

Sophie Baker looked at the sudden change in Lily Jones’s face, lowered her head, and the corners of her lips hooked up in triumph.

Hearing Lily Jones click her tongue in some annoyance, she said, "You’re right, after all. My nephew is still a member of the Jones family. As much as I dislike Elly Campbell, I can’t let my nephew be left out in the cold."

As she spoke, a touch of distress appeared on Lily Jones’s face, "But if I bring my little nephew back, wouldn’t Elly Campbell be even better positioned to use the child to get close to my brother?"

Sophie Baker hadn’t expected Lily Jones to hold no repulsion towards the child Elly Campbell had given birth to, and suddenly felt uneasy.

If that bastard child was really taken in by Adam, even if she married into the Jones family later on, with that bastard there, half of the Jones fortune would still be taken away by the child.

Even half of the Jones’ estate was a fortune of over a hundred billion; how could she stand the thought of that bastard benefiting from it.

Thinking so, she whispered in Lily Jones’s ear, "That’s why, Lily, a child can’t be without a mother. If Adam brings the child back, what if the child misses its mother? You should stop being against your sister-in-law because of me; Adam and I can really only be ships passing in the night."

She tightly gripped Lily Jones’s hand, "Although I’d really like to become sisters-in-law with you, I don’t want my sister’s child to grow up without a mother by his side, so... let’s forget about it, isn’t it also nice being sisters?"

Sophie Baker knew that the more she appeared willing to make sacrifices, the more Lily Jones would reject Elly Campbell.

If she could manage to keep that bastard from returning to the Jones family, that would be even better.

Lily Jones nodded thoughtfully, then sighed with some unwillingness, "But to just let Elly Campbell off so easily, I still can’t accept it. After all, how she treated my brother back then and schemed to marry him, such a bad woman, how is she worthy of my brother?"

Lily Jones became increasingly resentful, "And I don’t understand how my brother could be fooled by Elly Campbell. Could she have drugged him or something?"

Speaking of Elly Campbell.

After Lily Jones and her companion were sent away, Elly Campbell gathered her thoughts and sighed inwardly.

She wondered where exactly she had offended Lily Jones. Ever since she had married Adam Jones, Lily had always been against her and couldn’t stand her.

Perhaps her destiny truly clashed with that of the Jones siblings.

In the past, the thought of it would have been incredibly painful, but after the pain had passed, she realized... it was nothing more than that.

"What’s on your mind?"

Adam Jones’s gentle voice interrupted her train of thought.

She looked up at Adam Jones, her eyes landing on the wound on his forehead, and squinted as a thought struck her, asking, "You’re not faking that injury, are you?"

The muscles at the corner of Adam Jones’s mouth stiffened slightly, a brief flash of guilt in his eyes, before he replied with discontent,

"The wound you sewed up yourself, how could you not know whether it’s real or fake?"

His words left Elly Campbell momentarily at a loss for a rebuttal.

"Okay, go sit down and rest properly. I will take care of all this."

Elly Campbell didn’t want to delay any further, since she didn’t plan to stay long in Boston as there were other matters she had to attend to.

As she turned to sit at the desk and started to pick up the documents, they were snatched away by Adam Jones.

"What are you trying to do now?"

Elly Campbell frowned, looking up at him with a mixture of impatience in her gaze.

"To pick up where we left off."

Adam Jones reached out, pulling her up from the chair, "Didn’t we say we were going to spice up the male-female relationship? Now we can get to it."
