Chapter 622: 622. Not much better_1

The knot in her stomach began to twist in pain again. She rubbed her belly, walked into the living room, and because she felt unwell, she lost her appetite for dinner and went upstairs.

By the time it was almost nine o’clock, and Adam Jones still hadn’t returned, Elly Campbell became a bit worried. She called Adam, but his phone was switched off.

Elly frowned, then phoned Adam’s office, but no one answered, which deepened the lines on her brow.

The Noble Clubhouse—

By the time Adam Jones arrived, Harry Hall had already drunk quite a bit, and upon seeing him push the door open, he only lethargically lifted his eyelids.

"I couldn’t get through to your phone, thought you weren’t coming," Harry said, his voice somewhat hoarse from the alcohol.

"Battery’s dead," Adam replied indifferently, walked over, sat down in front of Harry, poured himself a drink, and gulped it down irritably.

Seeing this, Harry glanced at him and said with a bitter smile, "What, did Elly give you a hard time too?"

Adam didn’t speak and poured himself another drink, then frowned, "What’s this drink, why is it so bitter?"

Harry paused in the act of pouring the drink, then chuckled bitterly, "The drink isn’t bitter, it’s your heart that is."

At this, a moment of stunned silence crossed Adam’s face, and he stared at the glass in his hand without a word.

Harry filled their glasses and said in a raspy voice, "I thought of having you join me for a drink, but it seems you’re not doing any better than me."

Adam remained silent, just rubbed his temples and leaned against the couch, sipping his drink slowly.

Harry looked over at him and said, "Weren’t things going pretty well between you and Elly recently? What happened?"

When Harry brought up his issues, Adam’s eyebrows suddenly knitted together, but he had no intention of sharing his problems with Harry and just said, "It’s nothing, just a minor issue."

"Minor issue?"

Harry laughed disbelievingly, "If it really was a minor issue, would you leave your precious wife to come drink with me?"

Despite his words, Harry didn’t pursue the topic further; his own affairs were a mess, and he had no energy to meddle in others’.

Adam glanced at him, and thinking of his wife’s concern for her close friend, he spoke up to remind Harry:

"Do you know about what your mother, Ms. Dian Na, did to Helen Melendy?"

Harry’s drinking hand stopped abruptly, and his brow furrowed tightly, "She had already caused trouble for Helen’s law firm, and I’ve warned her."

"That’s it?"

Adam gave a smile. He didn’t want to meddle in Helen’s affairs, but how could he not when his own wife cared.

"What else do you know?"

Harry’s frown deepened, and a hint of coolness seeped into his indifferent eyes.

"Yesterday, your mother humiliated Helen Melendy severely in the mall, and in doing so, she humiliated my wife as well."

Harry clearly noticed that Adam’s emphasis was on the latter part of his statement, but Harry’s concern lay with the former.

"Yesterday?"

Could it have been when he parted ways with Helen?

Adam did not care to discuss in detail with Harry how Helen was humiliated by Leanne Richards, nor was he interested in involving himself in the affairs between Harry and Helen.

The only reason he mentioned it was out of respect for his wife’s feelings.

Thinking of Elly, Adam’s gaze involuntarily darkened.
