Chapter 979: 979. Boiling could even boil them to death

Online, many people are discussing whether Adam Jones will continue with Sophie Baker despite the Old Lady’s opposition.

Sophie Baker felt that it had not been easy to get to where she was today, that Adam was finally giving her a proper look, but then that damn Old Granny ruined everything.

Melody Baker watched Sophie’s face, still not fully recovered from the minor surgery, contort with anger, and attempted to console her:

"Don’t be angry, what’s there to be angry about? A decrepit old thing with one foot in the grave, she could die any day, just like that old immortal Henry Campbell. We’re young; even if we have to wait them out, we can outlast them."

Although Melody Baker found it odd that Adam only remembered that incident from the past, her inner greed and desire to trample Jenna Clark and her daughter underfoot led her to mostly ignore such oddities.

"But it infuriates me! Every time that old thing goes to the hospital, she survives. Every time I hope for her death, she doesn’t die. How long will we have to wait to outlast her? I just hope I don’t go crazy before she dies."

Sophie Baker was truly on the brink of madness.

Every time, just when she thought she was about to succeed, she ended up being knocked back to square one, each fall more tragic than the last.

And this time, she had been closer than ever to fulfilling her dream of becoming the Young Miss of the Jones Family; she could even see the position waving at her, and then, this old thing had to come along and ruin her plans again.

Seeing Sophie’s expression growing more and more ferocious, Melody Baker soothingly patted her back, saying:

"Why let an old lady upset you like this? You said it yourself, Adam now only remembers you, trusts you. How could he let the old thing’s interference stop him from divorcing Elly Campbell?"

Seeing that Sophie still had a gloomy face, Melody chuckled and continued to comfort her:

"Come on, think about it. How was Adam with Elly Campbell before he lost his memory, and how is he with you after the amnesia? After all, you are now the person closest to him."

"Moreover, even without the incident of you saving him back then, with him recently finding out that Elly Campbell has been claiming the Jones’ shares as her own, could Adam continue to let her stay in the Jones Family?"

Indeed, upon hearing this, Sophie’s expression improved somewhat, but she still muttered resentfully:

"But ever since the day he got me out of jail, Adam hasn’t come to look for me again."

This made Sophie feel somewhat bitter.

Back when Adam was pursuing Elly, he wasn’t this lax.

"Didn’t you say he’s avoiding suspicion, not wanting to tarnish your reputation before entering the entertainment industry?"

Melody Baker kept finding reasons to persuade Sophie, or perhaps to convince herself.

Lately, she had felt a sense of distraction from James. Ever since he visited the Clark Family to wish the old man a happy birthday, he seemed to have changed his attitude towards her.

Thinking back to the way he looked at Jenna Clark that day, Melody was even more convinced that the recent shift in how James treated her had to do with Jenna.

So, at this moment, how earnestly she wished Adam would become her son-in-law.

This extreme longing was not much less than Sophie’s.

For the two of them, securing Adam was a guarantee of achieving a higher status.

Trying to reassure Sophie, she gave her a once-over and said:

"Besides, think about it. After half a year in jail, after being worn down like that, you’ve aged quite a bit. Do you even have the nerve to show yourself to him? Even if he sees your face, could he bear to keep looking at it?"
