Chapter 413: 413. Confused_1

"Yes, once she’s ready, she can be discharged,"

Adam Jones responded indifferently and headed upstairs. For some reason, the Old Lady felt an urgency in her grandson’s retreating silhouette.

In the room, Adam stood in front of the wardrobe, staring at the monochromatic collection of black, white, and gray clothes, slightly furrowing his brows.

If this had been before, he would never have imagined that one day he’d be fretting like a woman in front of his wardrobe, his mind full of thoughts on how to dress more handsomely to catch his indifferent wife’s attention.

After a while, he checked his watch, and seeing that it was almost time, he resignedly picked out a suit that was somewhat agreeable and changed into it before descending the stairs.

"Where are you off to?"

The Old Lady, who was flipping through a newspaper in the living room, asked curiously as she saw her grandson coming down.

It wasn’t that she was just curious; even though her grandson would look outstanding even dressed as a beggar, it was clear that he’d taken some care in his appearance before coming downstairs.

Feeling his grandmother’s strange gaze on him, Adam’s heart felt somewhat uneasy.

He coughed lightly into his hand and said, "Grandfather asked me to go have dinner at the Campbell Family."

At this, the Old Lady’s eyebrows lifted slightly. No wonder the kid had made such an effort to dress up; he was eager to see his wife.

The cheeky brat, only realizing what he had lost after it was gone. Serves him right!

Although the Old Lady thought this to herself, she appeared rather pleased on the surface, "Well, you’d better hurry over then, don’t make them wait too long."

Adam Jones nodded, suppressing the hopeful look in his eyes, and strode out with a firm pace. Just as he reached the door, he saw the Moore Clan’s car slowly pull into the villa’s gates.

The car had barely stopped when Lily Jones hurried out and walked towards him.

"Brother, I heard you sued Sophie?"

Upon hearing Lily speak as if she had been brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, always bringing up Sophie Baker in front of him, Adam felt irritation bubbling up inside.

Without the slightest intention of humoring her, he made a beeline for his car.

But Lily wouldn’t let it be that easy for Adam to leave; she stepped forward, grabbing the car door, and said:

"Brother, I’m talking to you. Why did you send Sophie to jail? That’s too much."

The impatience in Adam’s eyes intensified. Lily was the kind of fool easily fooled by Sophie Baker and her mother. Her coming to him so righteously to question him surely meant Melody Baker had gone to her to plead her case.

As for what she said, Adam could guess without asking.

Facing a fool like Lily, Adam didn’t even have the patience to reason with her and said sternly, "Take your hand off. I’m in a hurry."

"Brother! Are you under a spell cast by Elly Campbell? Not content with framing Sophie, Elly Campbell even broke Sophie’s mother’s hand, that malicious woman..."

"Lily Jones!"

Adam’s eyes darkened with severity, "Do you think just because you’re my only sister, I can’t do anything to you?"

The frost in his black pupils sent a cold warning, causing Lily to instinctively shrink back in fright.

She did think this way, which is why no matter how her brother had warned her before, she always brushed it off.

Could it be that for the sake of Elly Campbell, he would actually kill her, or for Elly’s sake, really drive her out of the Jones Family?

After all, she and her brother were blood siblings; that kind of close blood relation was something an outsider like Elly Campbell couldn’t compete with.

Due to such a blood bond, Lily had always been fearlessly confident.
