Chapter 665: 665. Cruise Dinner_1

Elly Campbell smiled, and the happiness at the bottom of her eyes gradually spread from the corners of her eyes, spreading across her whole face.

On Easter evening, Adam Jones brought Elly Campbell to the charity dinner hosted by William Hall, the president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. The dinner was specifically for raising charity funds for infants abandoned by their parents due to congenital physical defects.

The dinner was held on William Hall’s private luxury yacht.

The invitees were all highly prestigious figures from various sectors of Boston, including politics, business, arts, and culture. Prominent individuals from all these fields were in attendance.

Since Adam took charge of the Jones Corporation at the age of 19, he had not attended many dinners, and on the few occasions he did show up, he was always accompanied by his sister.

This time, when Adam appeared at the charity dinner with his wife, Elly Campbell, it naturally attracted considerable attention.

Especially Elly Campbell, whose identity as the Young Miss of the Jones Family had been exposed due to the uproar on the internet last time.

In their upper-class social circle, even if Adam had initially kept his wife’s identity well concealed, the moment the background of "Madam Jones" was revealed, a simple inquiry would suffice to discover her identity.

The legitimate granddaughter of Henry Campbell, daughter of James Campbell, the chairman of Campbell Corporation, and granddaughter of the internationally renowned historian, Professor Dupont.

Such status indeed matched that of Adam Jones.

Consequently, even those who envied Elly Campbell could not find the words to belittle her.

In fact, seeing the head of Jones Corporation attending the banquet with his wife, many guests were there with the intention of ingratiating themselves and would not dare to criticize Adam Jones’s wife; some even approached with the intention of forging connections.

"Adam, you’re here."

William Hall, along with Leanne Richards, came over. The couple appeared to be together in appearance but estranged at heart; however, since it was his own event, William Hall maintained at least the basic decorum.

Naturally, he would not bring along his pianist lover from outside.

Therefore, no matter how much he loathed Leanne Richards, his lawful wife, he still accompanied her to greet the guests at the dinner.

Leanne Richards, who had been publicly confronted by Elly Campbell at a previous public event, felt a surge of anger when she saw her, as if the fury in her eyes wished to burn Elly Campbell to ashes.

However, because Adam was present and due to the warning he had issued last time, Leanne Richards still had some reservations.

Especially since she knew that giving William Hall any excuse would be something he eagerly awaited to rid himself of her.

Elly Campbell saw the suppressed anger in Leanne’s eyes and cheerfully ignored it.

It was Adam, however, whose gaze shifted from William Hall’s face to Leanne’s face and the signature smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded away.

Leanne, witnessing the smile on Adam’s lips disappear bit by bit and the coldness emanating from his eyes, was startled to the point of trembling and immediately averted her gaze from Elly Campbell.

Adam didn’t bother to greet her and said to William Hall, "Uncle Hall, you go ahead with your tasks."

"Alright, make yourselves comfortable," William Hall responded.

With a slight nod, Adam took Elly Campbell’s arm and stepped away.

As soon as the couple left, William Hall’s warning gaze turned towards Leanne and he said:

"What were you trying to do just now? What did you mean by looking at Adam Jones’s wife with that kind of look?"

He lowered his voice, reprimanding her.
