Chapter 99: 099.Too Many Coincidences_1

However, a year later, the Campbell Corporation faced a crisis, and the lady took the initiative to approach the president, expressing her desire to marry him, even joining forces with the old madam. In the end, the president had no choice but to compromise and marry Miss Campbell.

Though it sounded somewhat far-fetched, he simply couldn’t understand how Miss Campbell’s so-called sweetheart could be better than their own boss, to the point that she would stoop to such low actions to break off her engagement with the president?

One should know that if she had succeeded at the time, it would not only have been a loss of face for their own boss, but the entire Jones Corporation would have suffered greatly. Just the fluctuation in the Jones Corporation’s stock price could have led to a loss of tens of billions.

By acting in such a way, wasn’t the lady clearly trying to drive the president to his death?

Even if she wanted to be with her beloved, it was not necessary to be so heartless, right?

After all, their president wasn’t lacking in female company. If she had spoken up at the time, would the president have insisted on holding onto her?

But if it wasn’t the lady, being that she was born into a military family, aside from her, he truly couldn’t think of anyone else.

As Robert Green muttered to himself, he failed to notice the gloomy expression on his own boss’s face and seeing that Adam Jones hadn’t spoken, he didn’t dare to make a sound.

"Have you looked into this man named Peter?"

Adam Jones spoke again, the chill in his tone made one shiver uncontrollably.

Robert Green understood what Adam Jones meant and immediately replied, "I have, he’s a corporate employee with a clean background. He just rents the same room as Lucas Lewis and doesn’t have any financial entanglements with him."

Naturally, this meant he had no reason to conspire with Lucas to frame someone else.

"Have the police caught the killers of Lucas and the others?"

"They have. They said that while drinking at a food stall, they got into a conflict with some gang members and were later killed by a few gangsters who joined forces."

Adam Jones’s gaze deepened, he waved his hand to dismiss Robert Green, and then lowered his eyes, sinking into deep thought.

The entire affair was replete with meticulous logic, and two seemingly unrelated incidents coincidentally happened just like that.

The gang had plotted against him just the previous night, and the very next day, they were killed for what was claimed to be gang rivalry?

Adam Jones found it hard to believe. The more logically sound the behavior seemed, and the more meticulously it seemed to lack any flaws, the more it made him suspect that someone had carefully arranged all this to drive a wedge between him and Elly Campbell.

If that was true, what was the other party’s motive?

Thinking this, Adam Jones’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

Back then, after he overheard the conversation among Lucas and his group, he was convinced that it was Elly Campbell who had instigated them. Later, when he heard Elly Campbell talking to Lucas and his group outside the door, he did not hesitate to believe that everything was a setup by Elly Campbell against him.

At the time, he was completely powerless and was finally rescued by Sophie Baker, who sneaked in after the others had left.

The moment they left the house, the men returned. Sophie, in an attempt to protect him, was beaten half to death and nearly lost her life. If not for the timely arrival of the police, Sophie might have actually died.

Because of this, afterward, he was almost always compliant with Sophie’s requests. Even when he gradually realized Sophie’s feelings for him, he often thought of how she had once saved him and did not want her to feel too embarrassed.

Furthermore, Sophie was later severely injured by a car while saving Lily Jones. Although she was eventually resuscitated, she suffered injuries to her womb, and the doctors advised it had to be removed.

How great the impact of losing her womb was on a woman was something both Adam Jones and anyone from the Jones family was well aware of.
