Chapter 436: 436. Best of the best gathered_1

Withdrawing his gaze, Adam sat down on the chair next to Elly, but unexpectedly, Sean Lentz and his daughter Ivy also took the seats opposite them.

The VIP room was furnished with four chairs facing each other, with a coffee table in the middle.

Now that the Lentz father and daughter were sitting opposite them, it was as if the four of them were a party.

Elly, now utterly disgusted by the sight of this father and daughter pair, furrowed her brows openly when they sat down in front of her.

Naturally, the Lentzes saw the disdain on Elly’s face, but they pretended not to notice.

After leaving the Campbell Family’s house the previous night, Sean had actually regretted. The properties in Canada were all Elly’s alone.

He did not understand the business world, and at the same time, he wanted to prove he was not with her just for her money.

Therefore, when Elly never mentioned giving him a share of her properties, he would not take the initiative to ask for it.

In his opinion, given Elly’s affection for him, she would never leave him in this lifetime. He saw no need to ask proactively, lest he mess things up and change Elly’s impression of him.

But he never imagined that Elly would so decisively divorce him. After the divorce, with Elly’s strong tactics, he would definitely not get a single penny.

Not only would he not get any of Elly’s wealth, but he also might be thrown out of the house without a place to stay and potentially lose his job as well.

After decades of a privileged life, the thought of returning to selling paintings on the streets like thirty years ago was unbearable, not just because of the hardship, but because he could not let go of that status and position.

This morning before returning to Canada, he had been thinking about how to change Elly’s mind, only to encounter Elly at the airport.

Although he was not very familiar with his older brother-in-law’s only daughter, from the Old Master’s attitude yesterday, it was clear that this Miss of the Campbell Family still had significant influence in the family.

Thus, starting from her might give him a chance.

It was precisely for this reason that he stayed put despite seeing the rejection in Elly’s eyes.

"Younger cousin sister, Mr. Jones, where are you headed?"

Ivy seemed to have completely forgotten that she had an unpleasant encounter with Elly the day before. Her enthusiasm was as if the relationship between the cousin sisters was incredibly close.

Seeing that Elly just looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, several seconds later, she said, "Could you move to a different seat?"

Ivy’s enthusiastic smile froze abruptly, and a harsh coldness passed quickly through her eyes.

"Elly, I’m your cousin sister, and my dad is your uncle. How can you lack such basic politeness? If outsiders saw this, they would think the Campbell children are ill-mannered," Ivy said with a tone that carried a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach. Her gaze shifted subtly to Adam, who was completely ignoring her; it seemed like her words were intentionally meant for Adam to hear.

Seeing Elly’s brows furrow further, her already poor mood became even more sullen because of Ivy’s provocative words.

Sean, more attuned to reading expressions than Ivy, especially knowing that he needed something from Elly, quickly pulled Ivy back and chastised her in a low voice:

"Ivy, how can you speak to Elly like that? Apologize at once,"

he said, giving her a significant look.

Ivy felt reluctantly resentful. When she had accused Elly of lacking manners, she had clearly seen Adam frown, obviously also disapproving of Elly’s recent behavior in wanting them to leave.
