Chapter 746: 746.Green Hat Spirit_1

Adam Jones’s piercing gaze swept fiercely across Daisy Thompson’s face, startling her into swallowing the words she had been about to say.

Yet, the thought that the deed was already done between the couple upstairs emboldened her.

When he sees his own wife in bed with another man, she wondered if he would still treat the mother of his child this way.

With this thought, she continued, "Adam, don’t worry, everyone on this island is vetted, Elly must be fine. You should quickly send someone to look for her. I saw her head towards the restroom ten minutes ago and she hasn’t come out since, maybe she is still in there?"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Helen Melendy and said, "Miss Melendy, I just saw you coming out of the restroom. Didn’t you find Elly?"

Helen Melendy frowned, unsure of what to say. Not seeing Elly Campbell made her very uneasy.

Harry Hall noticed her distress and moved imperceptibly from Adam Jones’s side to Helen’s. He gently patted her shoulder and softly said,

"Don’t worry, we’ve already sent someone to look for her."

With that, his gaze shifted to Adam Jones, whose complexion was growing paler by the second, and with a furrowed brow, he said,

"Adam, your injury..."

"I’m fine, I’ll go find Elly now."

Adam Jones clenched his teeth and spoke with a dark face. His words played right into Daisy Thompson’s hands. She made a gesture to someone in the crowd, and a person dressed as a server slowly stepped forward and said,

"I just saw a lady come out of the restroom and she went upstairs via the other staircase. She hasn’t come down since, she might still be up there."

"What would Elly be doing upstairs all of a sudden?"

Daisy Thompson asked seemingly innocently. Those who didn’t understand Chinese couldn’t grasp what she was saying, but those who did perceived an ulterior meaning in her words.

Yes, indeed, what would someone be doing sneaking upstairs during a perfectly good ball? Aside from guest rooms, there really isn’t anything else up there.

After a bit of malicious speculation, the people looking at Adam Jones did so with suggestive glances.

So he was specifically here to catch his wife in the act of infidelity, no wonder he looked so grim.

Some people dared not provoke Adam Jones openly, but behind his back, they were eager for him to be embroiled in a scandal that would make him a laughingstock, an opportunity to take him down a peg.

For a man of Adam Jones’s prideful and dismissive nature, there was nothing more humiliating than being cuckolded by his wife.

Adam Jones did not care to know what malicious thoughts these people harbored at that moment. Upon hearing of Elly Campbell’s whereabouts, he didn’t think twice and hurried toward the second floor.

Many people, as if they had found gossip to ruin Adam Jones’s reputation, scrambled to follow suit, all gleefully reveling in his misfortune, so much so that no one noticed Adam’s seemingly steady steps were actually somewhat unsteady.

A group followed Adam Jones upstairs, and upon reaching the landing, they heard the kind of reckless moaning coming from a nearby room that led to rampant speculation.

Adam Jones’s face looked like that of a demon who had climbed out of Hell, ready to tear the people inside to pieces.

Harry Hall saw that Adam Jones’s expression was extremely off and quickly reached out to grab him, saying, "Calm down."
