Chapter 923: 923. Check Lily Bankston

After Adam had visited Lily Bankston, Jacob Clark died in a massive car accident while riding in the same vehicle, and the email announcing the Jones Corporation CEO’s disappearance was sent from the hospital where she was.

The more Elly Campbell thought about it, the more suspicious she found Lily Bankston to be.

With these thoughts, she didn’t linger in the hospital but left the resting room.

"Madam."

Robert Green had been standing guard outside Adam Jones’s door; although the CEO no longer recognized him, he remained steadfastly loyal.

"Come back with me, I have something to tell you."

Robert Green was startled, but seeing the seriousness in Elly Campbell’s expression, a chill settled in his heart. He glanced towards Adam Jones’s room door and nodded, "Of course, Madam."

Once they had left the hospital, Elly Campbell’s gaze still fixed ahead, she said to Robert Green, who was half a step away from her, "Have someone look into Lily’s history in the United States over the past years, the more detailed the better."

At her words, a hint of an irrepressible surprise colored Robert Green’s face as he said,

"Madam, do you suspect Miss Lily Bankston?"

After graduating, he had immediately started working closely with the CEO.

He had completed his Ph.D. at the age of 24, and he had thought himself more accomplished than many of his peers. When he became the CEO’s personal assistant, the CEO was already 23 years old.

But even before that, he had come to know the CEO well, learning that he had taken over the Jones Corporation at the tender age of 19. It was then he realized there were always bigger fish in the sea.

He watched as the CEO secured the Jones Corporation’s footing and then step by step propelled it to the summit.

Though a year older than the CEO, he admired that young man, who was so young yet so ruthlessly effective.

Therefore, when he first joined the Jones Corporation as the CEO’s personal assistant, he had made up his mind that as long as the CEO did not dismiss him, he would wholeheartedly serve as his personal assistant.

That’s why he was actually not unfamiliar with Miss Lily Bankston.

Almost every six months, the CEO would visit the United States to see Miss Lily Bankston, who the CEO truly regarded as his own mother.

Now, suddenly hearing the Madam asking to investigate Lily, Robert Green was both surprised and shocked.

Elly Campbell knew what had shocked Robert Green, but she had no time to explain. She simply said,

"Go investigate. Don’t use any of Adam’s current subordinates. Try to find someone with no ties to Adam. Whatever you can find, that’s what we’ll work with."

Although Robert Green did not know why Elly Campbell suspected Lily, he also knew she would not suspect someone the CEO trusted so much without a reason.

Thus, he didn’t ask further and simply nodded in agreement.

"This matter is to be known only by you, me, and whoever you hire to investigate her. Tell no one else, including Adam and Grandma,"

Elly Campbell paused for a second and then added a reminder.

"Understood, Madam."

Elly Campbell didn’t inquire further about who Robert Green would find.

She had made herself so clear that he surely understood he couldn’t just choose anybody; it had to be someone trustworthy.

Thinking of Lily, Elly Campbell’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She didn’t know Lily very well nor had significant contact with her. The only information she had came from Grandma.

Lily had played the role of a mother in the life of Adam Jones and his sibling, hence his deep respect and trust in her.

If this incident was really Lily’s doing, with Adam’s blind trust in her, he would be completely unguarded against her.

Just as if Elly’s own mother wanted to harm her now, she would have no defenses prepared.

"I hope it has nothing to do with Aunt Lily,"

Elly Campbell murmured under her breath.
