Chapter 725: 725. I am happy to indulge and spoil her_1
Daisy Thompson was taken aback and had not yet grasped the meaning of Adam Jones’s words before she heard him continue:
"Not only does my wife not want to see you, but I am even more reluctant to see you. What exactly do you think you are, to assume that just because you wish to see me, I am obliged to meet with you?"
"Adam, you... I... I am your... your mother. No matter what wrongs I’ve done, I am the one who carried you for ten months and gave birth to you with much difficulty. How can you..."
"Hah!"
Adam chuckled derisively, interrupting her, "Do you think, if you hadn’t carried me for ten months and given birth to me, you would still be able to stand here and talk such nonsense in front of me?"
"I..."
"Also, I will cherish and spoil my wife as I please; that is my business. If she wants to do anything without my consent, I am willing to indulge her. It’s certainly not up to you to come here and maliciously attempt to drive a wedge between us and accuse her."
As Daisy listened to the words Adam laced with indulgence and protection for Elly Campbell, as well as his undisguised scorn and humiliation towards her, her own mother, her eyes widened in disbelief.
She knew that her son adored his wife, but she had not realized that his favoritism would lead to such an inability to distinguish right from wrong.
Now it was she, his mother, who had been pushed by his wife, and he couldn’t see that with his own eyes?
She had initially intended to maintain the appearance of a wronged and pitiful figure to gain her son’s sympathy, but with Adam’s blunt diatribe, Daisy could hold back her composure no longer.
"Good... very good. Had I known you would turn out to be such an ingrate, I never should have gone through the trouble of bearing you. Your wife pushes me to the ground, and you cannot even seek justice for me, yet you still defend her so vigorously. You truly are a ’good’ son..."
Elly, hearing Daisy’s shameless statements, could no longer hold back.
How shameless does a woman have to be to abandon her children, run off with another man, and still have the audacity to point fingers at her son, calling him an ingrate?
Adam, however, was not as angry as she was. When she stepped forward to speak, he took her hand, gently pressed her shoulder, gave her a reassuring look and a doting, tender smile, then turned to Daisy and asked with a laugh:
"How did she harm you?"
Mrs. Jones had just tried to drive my mother out, and she pushed her directly."
Sophia Green, who felt particularly slighted by Adam’s disregard, quickly spoke up before Daisy had a chance to answer his question.
But Adam continued to ignore her, simply regarding Daisy with a light gaze that even carried a hint of mockery, and asked in an upward inflection, "Is it serious?"
Sophia, after trying to make her presence felt in front of him to no avail, bit her lower lip in resentment.
The way Adam asked the question, Daisy thought there might be hope for her yet, and recalling the objective of her visit, she did not want to completely fall out with her son.
So, taking advantage of Adam’s question, she quickly looked for a way out, her eyes reddening with feigned injury, she said:
"My foot is sprained; I probably can’t walk now. Adam, I am getting on in years, and your wife still..."
"Eric!"
Adam did not listen to her nonsense and simply called out a name, cutting off Daisy’s words.
It was then that Daisy and her daughter noticed that apart from Adam, three other men had accompanied him.
