Robert Green looked at Adam Jones’s indifferent eyes and asked another question, "President, do we need to investigate?"
Adam Jones didn’t speak, thinking of the call Elly Campbell received from James Campbell this morning, guessing that the sale of his private properties probably had something to do with Elly, and he didn’t want to meddle in her affairs too much.
"Alright, President, I’ll take my leave now."
After Robert Green left, Adam Jones was once again left alone in the hospital room.
When he was alone, he began to think of Elly, and thinking of Elly inevitably led him to recall the three years of their marriage.
Back then, he despised Elly in his heart, yet every time he faced her, he couldn’t help but want to look at her a few more times.
But whenever she came a bit closer to him, he would want to drive her away like a fly, every single time.
He thought, Elly must have felt just like he does now when he pushed her away back then.
Now, every time Elly looked at him with that icy gaze, he felt an unbearable pain in his heart. How sad she must have been back then, every time he doused her hopes with cold disdain.
Every time he thought of those times, Adam Jones wished he could go back and give his past self a good beating.
He envied the man he was back then, to be loved so wholeheartedly and eagerly by Elly.
And he hated the man he was, for hurting a woman who loved him wholeheartedly, all because of his stupidity and cowardice.
Every memory was like a vicious gouge to his heart, leaving him bleeding profusely.
After parting with the Old Lady at the cafe, Elly heeded the Old Master’s words, cancelled the hotel reservation, and returned to the Campbell Family home.
The Old Master’s promised support was indeed solid.
As soon as she neared the front gate of the Campbell Family home, she saw two black SUVs parked outside, and a few tall and burly men in dark suits and sunglasses stood by the vehicles. When they saw her, they approached.
The leader came up to her, "Miss Campbell, we are here under the Old Master’s orders to protect you."
Elly looked at the group dressed like gangsters and the corner of her lips twitched.
Did her grandfather really have to make such a display for her?
Against James Campbell and his family of three, she could blow them away by herself; there was really no need for these bodyguards.
However, with this show of force, they would indeed save her a lot of trouble.
Elly wasn’t surprised that her grandfather could send these people.
Before he retired, he was a General with many subordinates, who now hold important positions in military and government.
Although these men were dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, the air of military integrity about them was unmistakable.
She smiled, "Then I’ll be troubling you all."
The servants of the Campbell Family were shocked to see the young lady bring in such an imposing entourage.
Leading the way, Miss Campbell was flanked by five tall, black-suited bodyguards on each side, giving off the distinct impression of a gangster’s wife taking a stroll.
Elly looked at the middle-aged woman standing not far away. Apart from Linstad, Jane was the housekeeper of the Campbell home.
Hearing Elly call for her, Jane, who had been startled by the men in black, immediately came forward, "Miss Campbell, what can I do for you?"
Seeing Elly point towards the meticulously arranged wedding venue at the front of the mansion, she said, "Get someone to take all that down."
