Chapter 990: 990. The island owner can change careers now

"You wouldn’t know it, but Adam Jones’ grasp on emotions is really on point; he scared the hell out of me."

Helen Melendy recounted to Elly Campbell the terrifyingly cold look in Adam Jones’ eyes when he first appeared upstairs.

Speaking of which, Elly Campbell was also somewhat surprised.

At Sherry Huang, she had sent a message to the island owner, telling him that she had run into Sophie Baker at the mall.

After that, she didn’t contact the island owner again.

Seeing him suddenly appear before her, she was thoroughly startled.

"But knowing you two are all right, I’m relieved."

Helen Melendy’s voice broke into Elly’s reverie.

"Shall I take you back to Grandpa Campbell’s house now?"

Helen Melendy started the car and looked over at Elly.

Just then, Elly’s phone received a message. She glanced at it, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said,

"Yeah, back to Grandpa’s place."

Back on the fifth floor, after watching Elly leave, Adam Jones finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at the vivid red handprints on both sides of Sophie Baker’s swollen face, and his pupils constricted for a moment.

As if remembering something, his downcast eyes flashed with ferocity but were subdued again the moment they lifted.

The onlookers dared only to curse Adam Jones in private. Back in the day, they wouldn’t dare to do so much as hint at contempt.

Seeing the cold gaze of Adam Jones sweeping over them, they were frightened enough to immediately avert their eyes and then disperse.

Melody Baker had seen the fierceness that flashed in Adam Jones’ eyes when he looked at the marks on her daughter’s face and was convinced that Adam was angry because Elly Campbell had hit her daughter.

She pursed her lips, indulging in a bit of schadenfreude before saying to Adam Jones,

"Adam, you saw it too. Elly is just too much. Sophie clearly has nothing to do with you, and she started hitting people right away. Our Sophie is kind and well-behaved, not holding a grudge, but she..."

"Who are you?"

Adam Jones’ indifferent voice, filled with obvious impatience and detachment, interrupted Melody Baker’s deliberately provocative words.

He couldn’t express how much he detested being called "Adam" by her.

Melody Baker’s face visibly stiffened due to Adam Jones’ blunt interruption.

Of course, she wouldn’t have dared to speak so provocatively about his relationship with Elly or address him as "Adam" in front of him before.

But now, she felt she was Adam Jones’ future mother-in-law, inevitably going to be his mother-in-law, so of course, she had to call him something more intimate.

But she hadn’t expected Adam to snub her so dismissively.

Though she knew Adam Jones’ amnesia was the reason he didn’t remember who she was, the others around them didn’t know.

At this moment, they were still inside Sherry Huang. Although the onlookers had dispersed, a few employees of Sherry Huang were still around.

Seeing herself asked back so rudely by Adam Jones, Melody Baker’s face immediately darkened.

Sophie’s expression wasn’t any better. She couldn’t understand why, even though Elly intended to abandon him and even though Adam had stood in front of her to protect her from Elly’s confrontation a few minutes ago, she felt none of the superiority or pride in being defended.

The reactions around her were all about sarcasm and the looks of ridicule, not the envy and jealousy that Elly used to get.

Moreover, right now, Adam had publicly embarrassed her mother so greatly. Did he really have her in his heart?
