She received an anonymous message saying that Adam Jones was secretly meeting with a woman here.
Considering this wasn’t the city center and the mix of people was more diverse, coupled with someone of Adam Jones’s status, why would he come here for a rendezvous?
At first, Elly Campbell didn’t believe the text message, thinking it was just someone’s idea of a prank or an attempt to slander Adam Jones.
She deleted the message without a second thought.
At that time, her heart and eyes were full of Adam Jones, and she eagerly looked forward to marrying him in a year’s time. She didn’t want her distrust to ruin the affection between them.
But despite this, the message still affected her, leaving her restless all day long.
She didn’t understand the sender’s purpose. At that time, the Jones corporation held a pivotal position nationwide, and uniting with the Campbell Family through marriage was just the icing on the cake for them, something they could do without.
So even if their engagement was called off, it wouldn’t affect Adam Jones; thus, the person sending the message wouldn’t engage in such pointless act.
If the aim was to tarnish Adam Jones’s reputation and affect the stock value of the Jones corporation, that was even less likely.
Back then, Adam Jones wasn’t married, didn’t have a girlfriend, and there was absolutely no news about his engagement with her to the outside world. Hence, as a single man, Adam Jones could openly date or meet anyone he wanted without it affecting the Jones corporation.
Elly Campbell thought about it all day but couldn’t figure out why someone would send her such a message.
But it was precisely because of this that she became more and more disturbed.
As if possessed, she followed the time and address given in the text message and arrived at this hotel.
She came purely to reassure herself, Elly Campbell told herself.
Back then, she still had a lot of faith in Adam Jones, yet she was afraid that he would think she didn’t trust him, so she sneaked here without telling anyone.
The hotel’s management was very lax; after she arrived, she took the elevator straight to the floor mentioned in the message without anyone stopping her.
But once she exited the elevator, she regretted her decision. She shouldn’t have doubted her fiancé, the man she wanted to marry for the rest of her life. How could she be so suspicious?
After much hesitation, she didn’t go to that room and instead turned around and left.
The very next day, she received news that the Jones Family had called off the engagement...
Elly Campbell’s face turned a few shades paler as she recalled the feeling of being broken off when the engagement was canceled. The pain of that moment was still as intense as ever.
"That’s right, the night after that, President Jones couldn’t wait to come to my house the next day to call off our engagement," she said.
She laughed sarcastically, her hands clenching tightly by her side.
Just now, when she saw "Brocade Cloud Hotel," she actually felt guilty. What was she guilty about?
Adam Jones, behind the back of his fiancée, came to this chaotic place for a secret encounter, and he didn’t feel guilty. Why should she, just because she didn’t trust him back then?
But even if she had believed him, what then?
Could it change the fact that he went to the Campbell Family to call off their engagement for another woman?
Now, she regretted terribly that a year after the broken engagement, she shamelessly begged Adam Jones to marry her!
Adam Jones looked at the piercing smile on her face and the mockery in her eyes as if he was laughing at his own foolishness from back then, easily manipulated by her.
Right before taking her here, he had even begun to think he misjudged her back then.
