Chapter 414: 414. Stop at the Right Time_1

Thinking this, she straightened her neck, ready to talk back, but then she heard Adam Jones’s voice, cold as ice, come through again.

"You’re my sister, and I certainly won’t take your life, but making your life miserable doesn’t burden my conscience in the slightest. If I hear you speak ill of Elly Campbell in front of me again, I’ll make sure Christopher Moore learns what happens when he can’t control his wife properly!"

Lily Jones looked at Adam, unable to believe that he could spit out such heartless words.

Although the Moore Clan was also among the noble families, when it really came to a showdown with the Jones Family, they were still somewhat lacking.

If her brother really set his mind to dealing with the Moore Clan, her husband might not be a match for her brother.

"Brother, how... how can you treat me like this?"

Lily Jones’s complexion turned even paler, her eyes rimmed with red.

When they were kids, her brother couldn’t stand to see her cry, always giving her the best of everything. This time, she thought that if she just cried in front of her brother, his heart would soften, but she only saw Adam’s impatience grow deeper.

"Housekeeper!"

"Young Master."

The housekeeper, who had been listening to the sibling’s dispute but not daring to intervene, saw a storm brewing in the eyes of his young master, and felt somewhat uneasy.

"Kick Lily Jones out. If she dares set foot in the Jones house again, break her legs."

Both Lily Jones and the housekeeper turned pale, never expecting Adam to utter such a resolute and cruel order.

"Brother, are you really my blood brother, to say you would break my legs!"

"Don’t worry, even if you can’t move for the rest of your life, the Moore Clan wouldn’t dare to send you back!"

After dropping this ruthless statement, Adam got into the driver’s seat and drove off, leaving Lily in the dust.

Lily was furious and resentful, but she didn’t hate her brother’s ruthlessness; she hated Elly Campbell, the Fox Spirit who had bewitched her brother into treating his own sister like this.

"Miss, you really shouldn’t be angry with Young Master. Ever since you were little, he has always doted on you. You should be happy that Young Master likes the Young Miss, not spend your days trying to split them up."

Even though the housekeeper felt that the Young Master’s words to the Miss had been a bit harsh, ever since she had gotten to know Miss Baker, the Miss really hadn’t been thinking straight.

When the Young Master neglected the Young Miss in the past, she would incessantly bring up that Miss Baker in front of the Young Miss, and now she still hadn’t given up.

In his view, the Miss had to bear much of the responsibility for the current state of affairs between the Young Master and the Young Miss.

If the Young Master truly had even the slightest feelings for that Miss Baker, why would he have waited until today?

Lily Jones ignored the housekeeper’s words and turned to see the Old Lady standing by the entrance with an expressionless face.

Lily was momentarily taken aback and then recalled the fierce manner her own brother had just adopted towards her, causing her heart to fill with grievance.

"Grandma, did you hear the nonsense Brother just said?"

She had thought that at least the Old Lady would scold Adam a bit, but she hadn’t expected the Old Lady to simply sigh wearily and say,

"Lily, enough is enough! How many times have you tried to ruin your brother’s marriage for Sophie Baker? Do you even remember? If Christopher Moore had a sister like you, what would you think?"

Lily was somewhat indignant at her grandmother’s question and reflexively retorted,

"How can that be the same? Brother never liked Elly Campbell to begin with; if you hadn’t made Brother marry her, how could he possibly have married her?"
