Chapter 381: 381. It’s this woman again_1

"The boy has already told Grandma about what happened back in the day, and now that things have come to this point with you, it’s his own damn fault, and Grandma won’t make excuses for him. But Elly, believe me, Adam truly likes you a lot. It’s precisely because he cared too much about you that he lost his ability to judge rationally when faced with such a situation."

"After that misunderstanding years ago, if he had really been able to let you go, then he wouldn’t have agreed to the marriage alliance when you approached him later, would he?"

"Rather than saying he’s holding onto the past misunderstanding, it’s more accurate to say that he cannot get past it himself. Grandma knows his temperament too well. Torturing you is torturing himself as well."

Elly Campbell listened quietly throughout, without responding to the Old Lady’s words.

Today, with both the Old Master and Lady Jones coming to speak with her at length, she understood perfectly what they were implying.

They simply wanted her to reconcile with Adam Jones.

But as for reconciling, that’s easier said than done.

Could the years of alienation simply be treated as non-existent?

Elly felt that even if she couldn’t let go of Adam, she couldn’t restart their relationship without any misgivings.

If one day they argued again over some matter or conflicts arose, she might constantly be reminded of the past, of how Adam had treated her.

With that resentment not fully cleared from her heart, even if she were to get back together with Adam, they would only drift further apart.

"Grandma, let me think about it."

Lady Jones didn’t expect Elly to forgive her grandson immediately and reconcile with him after saying so much.

The hurt from the past wasn’t something that could be made non-existent just by claiming it didn’t exist.

Her thoughts, akin to the Old Master’s, merely hoped that Elly would give Adam a chance, not to block all his paths.

If, in the end, the two truly couldn’t be together, she wouldn’t insist. Everything was fated.

So, hearing that Elly didn’t outright reject her but instead wanted to think it over, the Old Lady’s heart leapt with joy. Holding Elly’s hand, she repeatedly said "good" several times.

After that, she didn’t bring up the matter between Elly and Adam again.

At the hospital, not long after Elly left, Robert Green went there.

"President, the issue with the leaked bid has been clarified," he said.

Robert Green pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, shedding the obsequious assistant’s demeanor he usually had in front of Elly and became sharp and compelling.

"Speak," Adam replied.

Adam’s facial expression didn’t change much; a leak of business secrets was not hard to track down if one was determined to do so. It wasn’t surprising that Robert Green could find the result in one day.

Right now, all he could think about was how to obtain his wife’s forgiveness.

If Elly could forgive him, he’d be willing even if it meant breaking his legs.

Robert Green had no idea that his boss harbored such an "extreme" thought within. Thinking about the results he found, his expression grew colder.

"It was Sophie Baker."

"Sophie Baker?"

Adam’s brows furrowed. Why was it this woman again?

Now, just hearing that name made him irrationally irritated.

Due to Sophie’s past connections with the Jones family, he had tolerated her many times. Did that woman really not know what kind of person Adam Jones was?

"Our investigation confirmed it’s undoubtedly Sophie Baker, but among the people in the company privy to the bid details, none had any contact or dealings with Sophie. So..."
