Chapter 726: 726. Whichever foot pretends to be sick gets wasted first.

The man named Eric heard Adam Jones calling him and immediately came over, "Mr. Jones."

Adam Jones pointed at Daisy Thompson and said to Eric, "Examine her injuries. If she is truly hurt, let her go. But if..."

At this moment, the slight smile that had been on his face was instantly replaced by a bloodthirsty chill.

"If it turns out she’s faking her injuries to frame my wife, whatever foot she’s pretending to be sick with, cripple that foot!"

Upon hearing this, Daisy Thompson was so scared her heart skipped a beat, and looking at the fierce eyes of Adam Jones, without a hint of jest, she said incredulously,

"Adam, you... you actually dare..."

"If you so desire to be disabled, there’s no need for such hassle. It’d be more convenient to just cripple you, saving Mrs. Thompson the trouble of acting, since it’s not just about acting skills, but also public perception."

As the words fell, Adam Jones signaled with his gaze for Eric to step forward and examine Daisy Thompson.

At this point, Daisy Thompson was truly frightened by Adam Jones’s not-bluffing demeanor.

She knew that if she kept pretending to frame Elly Campbell, he, the unfilial son, would really have his men cripple her foot.

Just as Eric was about to step forward, Daisy Thompson, scared, immediately retracted her foot and said through gritted teeth,

"It’s passed now, I’m fine. There’s no need for the fuss of seeing a doctor."

Elly Campbell, whose hand was being held by Adam Jones, watched Daisy Thompson’s defeated expression and chuckled inwardly.

When she was framing her, she had made quite a fuss.

Adam Jones gave her a cold look, the fierce light in his eyes still not softened in the slightest.

"Now that you’re fine, it’s time for me to settle the score."

As soon as Daisy Thompson heard Adam Jones’s words, her heart, along with Sophia Green’s, which had just calmed down, instantly jumped again.

Seeing Adam Jones turn to look at her, he said, "Regarding this old woman shoving you just now, how do you wish to deal with it?"

For the moment, Elly Campbell hadn’t really thought about how to deal with these two, just disgusted by their shameless behavior.

Originally, she had brought it up to Adam Jones simply to have him listen to what Daisy Thompson had to say and then to send her away.

Otherwise, it would be annoying for her to come over and disturb them repeatedly.

But she hadn’t expected that the mother and daughter’s thick skin had reached a level of incredible persistence. It was more than just thick skin; it was complete shamelessness.

Yet to decide on how to deal with them, she was at a loss for the moment; after all, she couldn’t just have someone beat them up.

Her gaze fell on Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green. Feeling her gaze upon them, their hearts trembled fiercely.

Elly Campbell knew that dragging this on with them would only lead to endless entanglement, and she didn’t want to drag out any lessons or such matters. Could she really beat them up?

Daisy Thompson had said something true, no matter what, she was still Adam Jones’s biological mother.

If it got out that Adam Jones had lifted a hand to his own mother, even if he had a thousand reasons, it would still affect his reputation.

The keyboard warriors above would not listen to what you have to say. Seeing you hit your own mother, you are in the wrong, and then they would attack you with all kinds of unspeakable words.

Beating them might be relieving, but it really wasn’t necessary.

It’s not that she thought Daisy Thompson was beneath her, but rather that Daisy Thompson, that woman, truly didn’t deserve for Adam Jones to tarnish his good name over her.

Thinking this way, she then said to Daisy Thompson,

"Weren’t you always pestering that you had something to say to Adam? Speak now, whatever it is."
