It’s so strange. The President seems to be so good to his wife, even going out to buy her lunch himself.
People were discussing in private and Adam Jones was unaware as he carried the lunch he bought for Elly Campbell, ready to go upstairs when he came face to face with Harry Hall who had just returned from outside.
Harry Hall glanced at the food in his hand with a faint look, his lips curled in a smirk as his gaze landed on the wound on Adam’s forehead, and he frowned, asking, "I heard from Robert Green that you took a hit to save Elly Campbell?"
When Harry Hall mentioned this, a cold expression emerged on Adam’s indifferent face, and a flicker of murderous intent passed swiftly in the depths of his eyes.
"It’s nothing, just a minor issue."
He didn’t want to talk about what happened last night. Those thugs were clearly targeting Elly Campbell deliberately, and as for who might be behind it, he had a pretty good guess.
Harry, however, seemed quite interested while looking at his wound wrapped in gauze, raising his eyebrows playfully and said, "Those thugs must be quite something to have injured you ."
Sons of wealthy families like them have been trained like special forces from a young age to avoid being kidnapped.
With Adam’s skills, how could a few ordinary thugs be a match for him?
No sooner had Harry finished speaking than he saw the corners of Adam’s mouth slightly curve up, his originally harsh features softening a bit, and in an instant Harry understood.
"Did you use a self-inflicted stratagem on your wife?"
He barely got the question out when he saw that Adam didn’t deny it, his features softening even further, and Harry chuckled in surprise before saying:
"You sure are tough on yourself when it comes to chasing your wife. With that being said, why did you insist on getting a divorce in the beginning?"
Hearing Harry mention this, the smile on Adam’s lips faded, and a bitter laugh unavoidably spilled from the depths of his eyes.
Without him saying anything, Harry knew this guy already regretted it.
Initially, he suffered just for the sake of pride, but now what use was regret?
Looking again at the food Adam was carrying, it was evident without asking that it was bought for Elly Campbell.
"She was willing to come to Jones Corp, it looks like your strategy had quite the effect, aren’t you afraid that if she finds out it was on purpose, she’ll get even more upset?"
Even as a brother, Harry couldn’t help but think that Adam Jones, despite his high IQ, had an emotional intelligence that seemed inversely proportional.
He obviously wanted to win his wife back, yet every word he said, every action he took, seemed designed to push her away. For such a romantically clueless man to get married, it must have been true love.
As a brother, he couldn’t help but worry that one day this guy might completely drive his wife away.
Seeing Adam’s hand tighten slightly on the lunchbox, yet his face revealing a bitter smile, he said:
"Having the heart to be upset is better than having no heart at all."
Harry suddenly looked up at him, and from Adam’s words, he sensed a hint of powerlessness.
For someone like Adam Jones, who held such a high position and was rarely troubled by anything, such a state of powerlessness could probably only be instigated by Elly Campbell.
For some reason, Harry felt that Adam seemed somewhat pitiable at that moment.
However, he had no extra sympathy to offer, for after all, everything was Adam’s own doing.
Without doing anything, Helen Melendy left him without a second word, without even giving him the chance to brace himself mentally. Who was there to pity him, to sympathize with him?
