Chapter 727: 727. Lao Lianhua’s acting is still commendable_1

Adam Jones initially intended to give his brazen-faced, shameless wife a good dressing down, but unexpectedly she didn’t mention a word about it.

His gaze darkly set on Elly Campbell’s face, after briefly thinking, he understood.

That his own vindictive wife would suddenly let this old woman off the hook was solely for his sake.

With a blend of heartache and gratitude, he squeezed Elly Campbell’s hand. He wanted to say that he really didn’t care how this woman would choose to slander him outside.

Having reached his current position, if he couldn’t lead a life on his own terms, and allow those near him to do the same, then what was the point?

But then, thinking it over, since his wife was worried about him, he had no reason to let his wife fret over such an inconsequential woman. Hence, he did not insist.

Daisy Thompson hadn’t expected that Elly Campbell would let her off so easily, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes.

She had initially clung to a sliver of hope that as long as her son hadn’t seen her push Elly Campbell, she could just grit her teeth and deny it.

After all, she was Adam Jones’s biological mother. Without evidence, Adam couldn’t just pin a crime on her.

She had been all prepared to staunchly deny it, even devising a plan—if her son dared to accuse her wrongly, she could bite back, claiming that he was trying to cover up his wife’s crime of pushing his own mother, twisting right and wrong.

But now, with Elly Campbell unexpectedly not pursuing the matter, she was at a loss for how to respond.

Adam Jones’s gaze shifted towards her. The previously tender and affectionate look he held for Elly Campbell turned into one of frightening sharpness in an instant.

Accompanying this sharpness was an obvious impatience.

"Clinging around like a stubborn ghost until now, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Seeing the disparity between how her son treated his wife and his own mother, Daisy Thompson felt incredibly indignant.

The more imbalanced she felt, the less she wanted Elly Campbell to continue being a daughter-in-law of the Jones Family.

Even if it wasn’t for Sophia Green, her step-daughter, she was still very determined to break up the couple.

But now was not the time.

With her son so indulgent of Elly Campbell, if she openly revealed her own thoughts now, it would only make her son more wary and disgusted with her.

Therefore, she had to suppress the imbalance in her heart, she reined in the rage in her eyes, and said in a muted voice,

"Adam, Mom knows that you’ve always hated her, and that you harbor some prejudice regarding my visit this time, but I truly don’t have any other intentions. I just want to... to see you, and have a chat."

The pitiful and aggrieved look was nearly overflowing from her eyes.

If it weren’t for Elly Campbell witnessing firsthand how shameless this woman could be, she might have been deceived by her current act.

It seemed that having spent time with an award-winning actress, Daisy Thompson’s acting skills were not too shabby indeed.

Elly Campbell shook her head silently in her mind, without unnecessarily interjecting.

Only the lord of their island could deal with a woman as shameless as Daisy Thompson.

Hearing Daisy Thompson’s words, Adam Jones suddenly burst into laughter. Apart from disgust, there was no other emotion.

"You’re thinking too much. I don’t hate you."

As soon as Adam Jones spoke, Daisy Thompson’s eyes brightened, thinking that in his heart her son still cared for his biological mother. But the next second, she heard Adam Jones continue,

"To me, you’re just an irrelevant stranger, and you don’t have the standing or capability to be remembered by someone like Adam Jones."
