Elly Campbell thought back to what Robert Green had said during the day about the project bid leak.
Once the bid leaked out, the entire project would have to start over.
The Butterfly Square project was about to commence in the next couple of days, and when she walked in, Adam Jones must have been preoccupied with this matter.
In the morning, she had clearly heard what Robert Green said. Since the company’s senior management wasn’t the issue, and yet she, not part of the senior management, had come into contact with the core details of the project, even if Adam didn’t suspect her, what about the senior management?
Even Robert Green, Adam’s assistant for so many years, had suspected her, she did not believe that the company’s senior management would not have their doubts.
She was utterly annoyed by this feeling of being troubled for no reason.
With this in mind, Elly Campbell furrowed her brow and asked, "How’s the investigation of the bid case going?"
Adam Jones, seeing her initiate conversation, felt a flicker of joy and looked up at her, but noticed she wore no extra expression on her face, and he didn’t mind.
However, thinking of the results of the investigation, a layer of frost coated Adam’s face instantly, "Everything has been cleared up."
Elly Campbell breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Good, that’s good."
Now that it was cleared up, it had nothing to do with her anymore, and how the Jones Corporation would deal with it was none of her concern.
But seeing that she wasn’t the least bit interested, Adam felt a trace of dissatisfaction and couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t you ask me who I found out it was?"
Elly Campbell, seeing the obvious dissatisfaction on his face, asked considerately, "Who was it?"
That question sounded so perfunctory.
Yet, despite feeling that his wife was giving him a perfunctory response, he still eagerly answered, "Sophie Baker."
Upon hearing this name, Elly Campbell paused for a moment, but she quickly understood.
Sophie Baker lacked the means and ability to go against Jones Corporation, and a leak on a minor Butterfly Square project would at most only keep the executives busy for a while without affecting Jones Corporation’s development.
Thus the true intention behind Sophie Baker’s leaking of the bid became clear.
That day when she had helped Adam with the documents, Sophie and Lily Jones came over. It was likely that during that time, Sophie had seen the bid.
Was it to frame her and leak Jones Corporation’s commercial secrets?
The woman’s stupidity once again surpassed her expectations.
Why would she think she could carry out this affair without God or ghost knowing?
Stupid! Stupid to the ends of the galaxy!
Seeing her silent once again, Adam felt inwardly annoyed.
Couldn’t she ask one more question to give him an opportunity to please her?
He looked at Elly Campbell for a long time but still saw no reaction from her, which somewhat dampened his spirits.
He took his spoon and sullenly sipped the soup, then couldn’t resist looking at her and said, "Why don’t you ask me how I’m going to deal with her?"
Was he trying to act cute?
"Oh, how are you going to deal with her?"
Suddenly, he felt like he was spinning a top; every time he flicked, she would give a perfunctory twirl.
With dissatisfaction, he frowned and, seeing Elly Campbell’s indifferent expression, said, "Of course, I’m having her put in prison."
Elly Campbell was actually somewhat surprised to hear this, and her eyes looked at Adam Jones with some astonishment.
"What’s with that expression? Are you wondering how I could bear to do it?"
Seeing the surprise in Elly Campbell’s eyes, and thinking of her "prior offenses," Adam’s irritation grew stronger, tinged with a touch of faint disappointment.
At that moment, she hadn’t thought that at all; it was just that, hadn’t he said that Sophie Baker not only saved him once but also saved Lily Jones?
