Chapter 796: 796. Stop messing around_1

Adam Jones was both tickled and exasperated by her words, reaching out to scratch her waist, knowing that she was very ticklish there.

"Well, look at you, daring to suggest leaving me if we don’t have a son?"

As soon as Elly Campbell saw his hand coming towards her, she dodged to the side and quickly grabbed his hand, saying, "Stop it."

The couple played around for a while until it was time for dinner.

They saw the Old Lady descending the stairs with a complex expression and a touch of sorrow in her eyes.

"Grandma, what’s wrong?"

Elly Campbell asked worriedly, noting that something seemed off with the Old Lady’s mood.

"Have you watched the news?"

The Old Lady asked the couple, her voice tinged with regret.

Elly Campbell thought back to her encounter with Lily Jones at noon, and with such a large family scandal, she had expected it to hit the gossip news.

Especially since Lily Jones had caused a scene at the mall like a shrew and even slapped Christopher Moore, coupled with his request for a divorce, these events were prime material for gossip news—they couldn’t just ignore it.

Seeing the Old Lady’s furrowed brows, Elly Campbell could guess what was troubling her.

"Does it have to do with Lily Jones?"

Seeing the Old Lady nod and look at her, she said, "The incident at the mall today, videos of it have been uploaded to the internet."

The Old Lady’s words carried a tone of reproach, barely concealing her disappointment.

Remembering the way Lily Jones had been obstinate and unreasonable, who wouldn’t feel disappointed after seeing that?

She had made an utter spectacle of herself in front of everyone, thoroughly disgracing both the Jones Family and the Moore Clan.

Elly Campbell took out her phone, opened Twitter, and sure enough, Lily Jones’ outburst at the mall with Christopher Moore dominated the top three spots on the Hot Search list.

The top five searches were all related to Lily Jones.

Especially the videos of the altercation, which, in just a few hours’ time, had already reached tens of millions of views.

Not just as one of the involved parties, even a bystander would feel speechless watching such videos.

Adam Jones, as the brother, and Christopher Moore, as the husband, had their reputations thoroughly tarnished by Lily Jones.

Elly Campbell furrowed her brows and set the phone aside. Seeing the Old Lady with a face full of worries, she comforted her, saying:

"Grandma, don’t worry about this. We’ll have someone take down the Hot Search."

Elly Campbell found, to her amusement, that she had recently developed a tendency to be on Hot Search. No sooner had one post cooled down than she was on there again.

Just taking a simple stroll in the mall, she could inexplicably end up on Hot Search because of Lily Jones.

The Old Lady waved her hand dismissively and sighed:

"It’s not that I’m worried about the gossip; in wealthy families, who’s not used to making headlines? It’s just that... sigh," the Old Lady felt regretful but continued softly, "I raised her with my own hands, and I never thought she would turn out like this. Yes, she used to be willful, but she’s never been so unreasonably obstinate before."

"Grandma, it’s just Lily Jones’ true nature. She didn’t act out in the past not because she wasn’t obstinate but because everyone indulged her. She never had the opportunity to be unreasonable," Elly responded.

Adam walked over to the Old Lady’s side and gently patted her back to comfort her:

"If she had even a bit of gratitude for your care or remembered how I, her brother, took care of her as we grew up, she wouldn’t have done so many brainless things."
