Chapter 833: 833. Who broke the inkstone?

Master Clark, because he had issues with Cam Green and his daughter, had no interest in appreciating the inkstone. However, seeing that several old friends were quite interested in it, he naturally did not want to dampen their spirits and asked Arthur Clark to bring it over.

Elly Campbell came out of the restroom and unexpectedly encountered Lily Jones in the corridor.

Compared to her previous arrogant behavior, Lily Jones looked considerably haggard.

Lily Jones had not expected to bump into Elly Campbell while visiting the restroom, and her expression suddenly darkened.

Elly Campbell thought she would come looking for trouble as she had done before and instinctively protected her stomach, subconsciously getting ready to defend herself.

Seeing that Lily Jones quickly shifted her gaze away from her face, as if she hadn’t seen her at all, she walked past her.

Seeing this, Elly Campbell certainly did not initiate a greeting, and as she was about to leave, she heard Lily Jones speak in a harsh tone,

"I’m sorry."

Elly Campbell paused for a moment, turning back in surprise to look at Lily Jones, who still maintained that cold demeanor. Although she was apologizing, there was no hint of sincerity in her eyes.

Seeing Elly Campbell look her way, she said stiffly,

"Elly Campbell, I apologize to you not because I think I’ve done something wrong, but because I don’t want Christopher Moore to be too disappointed in me. He wants me to respect you, so I will respect you. If he thinks I’m wrong, then I’m wrong, but that’s only for him, not for you."

Elly Campbell listened to her awkward explanation and laughed casually, saying,

"You don’t need to apologize to me. Whether your apology is sincere or not, I don’t need it. However, since you still care about Christopher Moore, you should stop acting out in front of him. He tolerates you, and even if you cannot reciprocate accordingly, you should at least not push the limits. I can see that he doesn’t really want to divorce you."

Lily Jones looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word.

Only to hear Elly Campbell continue,

"As for me, you and I won’t have any dealings. If your brother wants you to return to the Jones family, I won’t stop him, and if he does not, I also won’t give him much advice. Between us, it’s best if we don’t provoke each other. However, considering that I delivered your son, I’ll give you one final piece of advice: if you really cherish Christopher Moore, then you should treasure him."

Lily Jones, unusually patient, listened to Elly Campbell until the end but still turned around and entered the restroom with an expressionless face, without responding to her.

Elly Campbell was indifferent; after all, she held little hope for Lily Jones.

But the fact that she could muster the courage to apologize for Christopher Moore’s sake showed she wasn’t beyond redemption.

After leaving the restroom, just as she was going to find Adam Jones, she noticed a crowd gathering around Master Clark, as if something had happened.

Elly Campbell felt uneasy and quickly walked over.

She then heard Sophia Green’s voice rise from the crowd, "How can it just end up being smashed like this?"

In her low voice, there was a mix of helplessness, sadness, and a subdued anger.

Following that, Cam Green’s voice thundered, "Judging by the degree to which this inkstone is smashed, it’s clear it was deliberately broken. We just need to check the surveillance to see who passed by there."

The inkstone was broken?

Elly Campbell recalled the voice of Sophia Green she had just heard and raised an eyebrow.

Sophia Green, such a connoisseur, had given her grandfather an inkstone?

She stepped up to Adam Jones’s side and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
