Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 801: 801. President Jones inherited his thick skin from his mother.

Thus, after seeing the couple enter the antique shop, they could only look up at the splendidly decorated facade and sigh with thoughts of money.

"Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, this manuscript scroll was left by Zhao Mengfu in his later years. It is profound in its calligraphic style. His running script during the House of Plantagenet period influenced the entire development of calligraphy and painting in that era. Please take a look."

The store manager hadn’t expected Adam Jones to visit their store personally. Accustomed to seeing distinguished officials, he was somewhat nervous at this moment.

"There is also this manuscript scroll from Wang Xizhi which is very suitable if you are giving it to the elderly. On this side, the paintings by Wu Daozi are also very appropriate."

Adam Jones glanced at the ancient calligraphy and paintings in front of him worth millions, then looked sideways at Elly Campbell and asked,

"Which one do you think Grandfather would like?"

Adam Jones had little interaction with Master Clark, so he wasn’t particularly familiar with his preferences and had to ask his wife for advice. Getting the gift right could also leave a good impression on the old man.

At that moment, Adam Jones was like a young man cautious about meeting his girlfriend’s parents, taking every step carefully.

"Grandfather likes calligraphy, so let’s go with this scroll of Zhao Mengfu."

"Good."

Adam Jones nodded, then turned to the store manager, "We’ll take this scroll of Zhao Mengfu."

"Alright, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, please wait for a moment. I will have someone wrap it up for you."

Transactions worth tens of millions were completed in the blink of an eye.

In a classical side room of the store, there was a cafe, brimming with coffee fragrance, where just sitting felt incredibly comfortable and relaxed.

Adam Jones glanced at his wife sitting beside him, who was holding a glass of water and sipping intermittently. Even though they had bought the gift for Grandfather, she didn’t remember that it was also his birthday today.

His wife didn’t seem to care about his birthday at all.

Adam felt somewhat dismayed but thought it unbecoming for a man to fuss over a birthday gift, so he suppressed his disappointment.

Watching her continue to drink her water carelessly, Adam inwardly snorted in contempt.

Heartless little thing.

"Adam, what a coincidence to see you here too."

Just as Adam was internally complaining about his wife’s lack of thoughtfulness, a discordant voice broke the pleasant atmosphere between them.

Adam frowned slightly in displeasure, put down his coffee, and looked toward the source of the voice.

He saw Daisy Thompson and a tall woman wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a duckbill hat walking in from outside.

If he didn’t know Sophia Green, he wouldn’t have recognized that the woman in disguise was her.

Ever since Elly Campbell suspected someone from the Jones family among Daisy Thompson’s people, after returning from Jones Island, she had run checks on the servants from top to bottom, dismissing those with a record.

So, this encounter must have been a coincidence.

Inwardly, Elly sighed helplessly, not expecting to run into her so-called mother-in-law while buying a birthday gift for Grandfather.

Upon entering the store and likely seeing Adam Jones, Sophia Green quickly removed her disguise, and Elly could clearly see her eyes shining bright as she looked at Adam, like a bashful girl filled with anticipation and shyness when she sees a boy she likes.
