Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 987. What if it doesn’t stop when it should?

Chapter 987: 987. What if it doesn’t stop when it should?

"Enough is enough?"

Elly Campbell emerged slowly from behind Helen Melendy, stood in front of Adam Jones, and said:

"So you’ve come all this way to back up this fox spirit?"

Adam’s expression grew even darker.

She moved gracefully to the side of Adam, very close to Sophie Baker, her eyes challengingly fixed on Adam as she said:

"What if I don’t stop, what can you do about it?"

Another unexpected slap flew toward Sophie’s face, and she was stunned once again.

Sophie had just been smug about Adam standing up for her and hadn’t anticipated that Elly would dare to hit her in front of him, so even though she’d already been smacked by Elly twice, she didn’t guard herself this time.

She touched her burning cheek, feeling like her face would swell up from the slaps.

But she didn’t respond to Elly, choosing to silently play the role of a bullied "mistress," tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Elly.

"Sister, I’ve already said I have nothing to do with Adam anymore, why won’t you believe me!"

Compared to the shrew who rushed up earlier intent on fighting her, Sophie now did appear somewhat pitiable.

That’s what Sophie was thinking—in any case, whether she denied or confirmed her relationship with Adam, people online already assumed they were involved.

And now, with Adam, who was supposed to be working at Jones Corporation, suddenly appearing there, standing in front of her and challenging Elly on Sophie’s behalf, even if both of them denied their relationship, netizens wouldn’t believe it. They would just say the pair were trying to conceal something but only revealing it more.

So, when Sophie said those words, she was merely playing innocent, seeking sympathy all over again.

If only Adam would slap Elly a few more times for her.

In that case, it wouldn’t just be Elly’s face getting slapped, but her dignity too.

"Elly!"

Adam gritted his teeth.

After hitting Sophie, Elly didn’t pay attention to Adam or Sophie. Instead, she rubbed her sore wrist and walked toward Sherry Huang’s counter, speaking as if nothing had happened:

"Is my clothing all wrapped up?"

"It’s ready, Mrs. Jones."

The clerk handed the bag to Elly, her eyes shimmering with excitement and admiration.

Mrs. Jones was so domineering, not only hitting the mistress and her daughter but also slapping that mistress again in front of President Jones—extremely satisfying.

The mistresses, with the backing of scoundrel men, were all flaunting themselves in front of their paramours.

They had seen too many wives silently enduring in front of mistresses, just because they were concerned about their husbands. A wife like Mrs. Jones who took action this decidedly was truly rare.

"Thank you."

Elly took the clothing handed over by the clerk, gave the black card for payment, and then turned to Helen to say:

"Helen, let’s go."

At that moment, Helen hated Adam, the big lout who had led her on and then dumped her, and had no desire to waste a single breath on those two despicable people.

Not wanting to upset Elly by looking at this disgusting pair any longer, she immediately nodded in agreement.

And so, Sophie watched with wide eyes as she got slapped by Elly multiple times, yet Elly faced no repercussions and even left after shopping?

Adam didn’t even reprimand Elly for her?

Even if he didn’t slap Elly, he could have at least scolded her, right?

As Elly gradually disappeared from view, Sophie grew increasingly resentful, but she didn’t dare to provoke in front of so many people and especially not in front of Adam.

She could only grind her teeth in hatred.
