She must now leave a good impression on Adam, for only then would she have a chance to enter the Jones family. She couldn’t allow that bitch Elly to mess up her own good prospects.
Therefore, before Lily Jones could speak, Sophie Baker interrupted her, saying,
"Lily, aren’t you here for a follow-up at the hospital? It’s time; let’s hurry in..."
Lily Jones’ energy was seemingly enough to reach the skies, and despite Adam Jones’ face already being frightening enough to scare the life out of a bull, she still chose to blindly ignore it.
"Brother, think about it. She has no shame to the extent of claiming someone else’s company patent products as her own to sell. Is there anything she wouldn’t do?"
Elly had initially intended to wait quietly for Helen Melendy to arrive, with no inclination to engage Lily, but her words caused a sudden twitch in Elly’s brow.
Although she wasn’t clear about what had happened, as the head of a company focused on research and development, she was very sensitive to the word "patent."
Lily Jones’ remark gave Elly an ominous intuition.
Lily Jones was intentionally trying to make Elly feel uncomfortable. When Elly asked about it, Lily raised her eyebrows and immediately showed a look of contempt on her face.
"You really can play dumb. The news has already been exposed, and you still pretend not to know. But you did act quickly, suppressing the news in less than two hours. You know what attempting to cover up makes you seem like?"
Elly truly did not know what Lily Jones was talking about, as her mobile phone was still with Helen, but the way Lily spoke, it was definitely not something fabricated just to annoy her.
What patent was Lily talking about? Could it be the degradable material they had just developed a few days ago?
Why would there be an incident of stealing someone else’s patent out of the blue?
Elly was preoccupied with this issue, so she didn’t respond to Lily Jones’ sarcastic provocations.
Seeing Elly ignore her words, Lily Jones grew even more upset.
She looked at Adam Jones and said, "Brother, now you see it, don’t you? Elly has always been this vile and shameless, whether it was four years ago or now, you..."
"Lily Jones, I told you to shut up!"
Adam Jones’ face became even darker and more frightening than before, momentarily startling Lily into silence.
Opening her mouth still somewhat resentfully, she nonetheless quieted down in the face of Adam Jones’ warning gaze, yet her dissatisfaction with Elly only grew.
In her opinion, her brother was simply bewitched by the Fox Spirit Elly, failing to see Sophie’s worth. Apart from the label of being a bastard, where was she inferior to Elly?
As Elly anxiously waited for Helen Melendy to arrive, Helen finally showed up, "Your things are all here."
Remembering the news she had seen that morning, she began, "Elly, about the news..."
Without waiting for Helen to speak, Elly took out her mobile phone from her bag and, sure enough, there were dozens of missed calls from Brayman.
"Helen, wait for me a moment, I’ll return a call."
Elly said briefly, moving to one side with her mobile phone, "Mr. Ainley, it’s me, sorry, something came up yesterday..."
Helen Melendy watched Elly’s back as she took the call with some concern. Just a while ago, Elly had talked about planning to take Brayman public, riding on the momentum after completing the partnership with the Zhongrui Chemical Group.
