Chapter 517: 517. There is a fearless one

Although she had never been involved in the operations of the Jones conglomerate, she knew how vast it was.

The Jones family was involved in various industries both domestically and internationally, including several large military industrial groups, real estate companies, finance, gaming, and so on.

As long as it was related to the economy, the Jones had a hand in it.

Their financial strength and connections were not to be underestimated.

And yet, such a powerful conglomerate with both connections and financial resources couldn’t resolve a government project issue in the United States, which clearly indicated someone was deliberately opposing the Jones.

Moreover, the opponent’s strength was comparable to that of the Jones family.

Even if they were not as powerful as the Jones, tampering with things was certainly within the realm of possibility.

Elly Campbell understood the principle that the lesser devils are harder to deal with than Lord Yama herself; otherwise, Adam Jones wouldn’t have been schemed against in the past, never being able to find out who the mastermind was.

With these thoughts, Elly Campbell furrowed her brow, a faint worry arising in her heart.

Meanwhile, Adam Jones, who was in a meeting, sensed the gaze upon him and subconsciously looked up to meet Elly’s eyes, which held a tinge of concern.

He put away the stern, deep expression he had been wearing for the meeting, and with a gentle smile toward Elly, he handed the lead of the meeting over to Robert Green and ended his side of the conference.

Closing his laptop, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards them.

Caught in his smile, Elly was momentarily stunned. After their earlier conversation, she thought he would be angry with her and give her a cold look, but unexpectedly...

Elly glanced at him, her emotions growing more complicated.

Leading William Campbell downstairs, the little guy excitedly dashed in front of Adam Jones, hugged his thigh, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Daddy, it’s Sunday today, can we go to the amusement park?"

"Sure, William, go have breakfast first, and then mommy and daddy will take you there."

Hearing this, little William nodded excitedly and ran off to the dining room for breakfast.

Watching her son sit down at the breakfast table, Elly Campbell turned away and, recalling the video conference Adam had just had, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the company facing some trouble?"

Adam Jones was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she must have overheard from the meeting.

He didn’t intend to hide it from her and nodded, "There’s an issue with a project in San Francisco; the review process got held up. It’s a minor issue, don’t worry about it."

Elly Campbell wanted to say she wasn’t worried, but for some reason, the words didn’t come out. Instead, she changed her response, "Is someone deliberately opposing the Jones family?"

Adam Jones initially thought that Elly wouldn’t care about his business, and that once he said it was a minor issue, she wouldn’t ask further. Now, hearing her take the initiative to ask, his mood, previously dampened by the condition Elly had set, lifted somewhat.

"Yes, there’s someone not afraid to die messing around behind the scenes."

As he said this, he paused for a moment, a look of reluctance on his face, "I have to go to San Francisco tomorrow, I’ll be back in a few days. Remember to miss me."

Elly Campbell: "..."

She couldn’t just have a normal conversation with this man; once she tried, he would start being flirtatious.

However, knowing that he had to personally handle the issue indicated it wasn’t something minor, and Elly couldn’t help but feel more concerned.

"How many days will you be gone?"

The longer the duration implied the more difficult the issue was.

And as soon as she asked her question, the man immediately took it as his wife not wanting him to go.
