Chapter 142: 142. Ill-intentioned_1

Thinking it over, he dismissed the possibility.

Adam Jones, ever surrounded by women, never lacked for those more beautiful than Elly Campbell, yet never had he cared or even spared them a glance.

Elly Campbell... was somehow different.

Seeing him staring at her without a word, with that inscrutable look in his eyes, Elly felt a vague unease in her heart, afraid that he might have already learned about William Campbell's affair.

As she agonized, Adam Jones let out a soft chuckle and said,

"From the start, the real mastermind behind Brayman wasn't your grandfather but your mother. As for why mom wouldn't agree to a partnership with Jones Corp, it's naturally because she thinks her son-in-law hasn't treated her daughter well."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, his smiling eyes gently resting on Elly's face.

Elly, listening to him casually calling "grandfather" and "mom" as if they were still a close husband and wife, couldn't help but frown.
