Chapter 88: 088. Performing an affectionate scene_1
The last words "you know?" lifted at the end with a hint of undisguised doting, almost causing Elly Campbell to twist her ankle. However, the current situation made it clear to Elly that Adam Jones would not comply with her wishes at this moment.
Considering she was indeed uncomfortably hungry and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Adam Jones, she just let him have his way.
As for Sophie Baker’s complexion, it was so unspeakably grim compared to Elly’s.
She had always been smug in front of Elly, always using Adam to show off to Elly. Even though Adam had no interest in her, she could still disgust Elly with it.
But now, here she stood alone, witness to Adam taking Elly away, completely ignoring her existence.
Or perhaps, from start to finish, she never existed in Adam’s eyes.
Sophie watched the intimate figures walking ahead, grinding her teeth in hatred.
The bitch Elly must be very happy to see her defeated, right?
At this moment, Elly, who had completely forgotten about the existence of Sophie Baker, was forced by Adam to approach his Maybach. The driver had been waiting there for a while, and upon seeing her, he immediately greeted her respectfully with a "Madam."
Such an address instinctively made Elly frown, and Adam, anticipating she would turn and walk away, blocked her path with his tall figure, pressuring her towards the side of the car.
"Adam Jones, this is enough. I don’t mind if you’re addicted to playing the affectionate couple, many people love to play along with you, and to take it from pretend to reality. But you can spare me that," Elly said.
Elly looked up at the man in front of her, tall and handsome, her face unable to hide her annoyance and rejection.
Feeling extremely tired from standing for so long, Elly simply leaned against the body of the Maybach behind her, her eyes showing nothing but rejection, without a trace of anticipation for the "dinner" she was to have with Adam.
Adam frowned, obviously displeased by Elly’s words. His voice, along with his expression, grew colder as he said, "Taking my wife out to dinner is acting out a love scene now?"
Elly no longer had the energy to keep emphasizing to Adam the fact that they were getting a divorce. After all, Adam wouldn’t listen to her. What she needed to do now was to get rid of Adam as quickly as possible.
"Well, sorry then, President Jones, but I have no desire to eat the meal you’re offering," she retorted.
After saying that, she pushed past Adam intending to leave, but Adam seemed truly irritated by her behavior. She had barely taken a step when he blocked her again.
"Sorry, but this dinner is not optional," he insisted.
As he spoke, he grabbed Elly’s arm and pushed her towards the car. Elly struggled instinctively, but then she heard Adam’s cold voice at her ear, "If you want to be gawked at here, you are welcome to make a scene with me right in this spot!"
Elly’s struggling ceased immediately.
Indeed, as Adam had said, there were already many onlookers gazing in their direction. Even if she did not care about losing face, she did not want to be associated with Adam in the eyes of others.
It wasn’t just Adam’s prominent role as the president of Jones Corporation that made him conspicuous; his face alone was enough. If she made a fuss with him here, she might end up on the front page tomorrow.
With this thought, she calmed down, casting a cold glance at Adam and got into the car.
