Chapter 870: 870. Do something to make the wife happy

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence. After hearing Elly Campbell’s words, he assumed she was the one pulling strings behind the scenes, but now, hearing Adam Jones’s words...

James Campbell’s heart fiercely trembled, fearing that if Adam were behind this, he might inadvertently provoke even bigger trouble.

Thinking this, he coldly stared at Adam Jones and tremulously said,

"Are you behind all the trouble I’ve been encountering recently?"

Adam Jones laughed a little, very openly admitting,

"You upset my wife, and I had to do something to cheer her up, right, CEO Campbell?"

Though he used honorifics, there was not an ounce of respect for James Campbell, and even, the words that followed were increasingly vehemence—

"Of course, this ignorant fool by your side today made my wife even more upset, so I need to do something better to cheer her up."

In other words, if you upset my wife today, I will make you cry non-stop tomorrow.

James Campbell, who wasn’t much capable, had managed before because the Campbell Corporation had Jenna Clark and Elly Campbell backing him and had a solid foundation. Steady progress had meant no issues for him.

But if Adam Jones took action against Campbell Corporation, with James Campbell’s capabilities, he really wouldn’t stand a chance.

Thus, at this moment, James Campbell got somewhat panicked upon hearing Adam Jones say these words, his unease plainly visible on his face.

"Adam Jones, just what are you trying to do?"

"Didn’t I say? I’m trying to do something to make my wife happy," Adam Jones replied, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

As he watched James Campbell’s face grow more twisted, Adam Jones laughed and said,

"But don’t worry, CEO Campbell, I won’t completely destroy you. I’m the kind of person who likes to play the cat and mouse game. I enjoy catching the mouse and playing slowly, slowly with it."

Throughout, Adam Jones’s tone remained flat and undramatic, yet it sent a chill down James Campbell’s spine.

"But if the mouse misbehaves, killing it would still be quite easy."

"Adam Jones, don’t... don’t go too far."

"I just did. What can you do about it?" Adam Jones countered, with an innocuous smile.

"You... you..."

James Campbell’s hand trembled slightly, pointing at Adam Jones, unable to articulate a word, and at last he could only turn away furiously, taking Melody Baker with him.

When that bizarre couple left, only the Campbell couple, Jamuna Ford, and Elly remained at the venue.

Elly received a phone call and walked aside, providing an opportunity for Elly to speak to Professor Ford,

"Professor Ford, my mom isn’t like what that woman said. Please don’t let her words affect your thoughts."

Elly’s words were direct, almost without any roundabout, which made Jamuna briefly stunned, then he chuckled and nodded his head, saying,

"I am, of course, aware of how Sister behaves. Don’t worry about it."

Elly quietly gauged Jamuna Ford’s expressions and eyes, satisfied that he genuinely didn’t take Melody Baker’s words to heart, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for whether Professor Ford would develop anything with her mother, and to what extent, Elly had no intention of interfering.

As a daughter, all she needed to do regarding her mother’s future emotional affairs was to silently support. Meddling might just backfire.
