Adam Jones was startled and, as if afraid that Elly Campbell would doubt his determination, immediately spoke to pledge his loyalty, "I’ll follow your lead, whatever you say goes."
"Then let it be the maximum sentence."
Adam Jones chuckled softly and nodded, "Alright."
The two of them talked as if no one else was around, leaving James Campbell and Melody Baker out in the cold.
After Elly Campbell finished speaking, she didn’t even glance at the two and walked towards Old Master’s hospital room.
Adam Jones didn’t hesitate to follow her, thoroughly ignoring the two behind him.
Melody Baker was livid, and thinking about Elly Campbell and Adam Jones’s final exchange, she was worried beyond measure.
"What should we do? James, the Police Station says the Jones Corporation submitted sufficient evidence that Sophie leaked the company’s trade secrets. Could Sophie really end up in prison? She’s so young; she can’t have a criminal record."
If Sophie had served time, which noble family would want to marry her?
Before, she had hoped Sophie could marry Adam Jones, but now, Adam had been completely bewitched by that Fox Spirit, Elly Campbell, leaving no hope for Sophie.
But even if she couldn’t enter the Jones Family, as long as she was the daughter of the Campbell Family, she wouldn’t worry about not marrying into a wealthy family.
But now, if she really went to prison, then there would truly be no hope.
Even if there were those who wanted a marriage alliance with the Campbell Family, they wouldn’t marry someone with a criminal record to be their wife.
And those who would need the support of the Campbell’s, she wouldn’t even consider them.
James Campbell was also caught off guard by the merciless approach of Adam Jones.
Especially when Elly Campbell mentioned "the maximum sentence," and Adam so casually agreed, he knew Adam must have the capability and confidence to go along with Elly’s suggestion.
If the maximum sentence was indeed applied, who knows what age they would be by the time Sophie got out.
"Don’t worry; I’ll think of something else. There are some people I know at the Prosecutor’s Office; I’ll go ask them about the situation."
Although James Campbell said this, he had no confidence in his heart.
He had to admit that in the business world, his current connections were all because of Jenna Clark’s past efforts, and in the political realm, those people gave him face solely out of respect for the Old Master.
If the Old Master truly stopped caring for him, who in the political world would give him a second look?
He was clear about this in his mind, but he wouldn’t tell Melody Baker.
Melody Baker was the "white moonlight" of his youth; how could he let his image tarnish in the heart of his white moonlight?
Elly and Adam arrived at the door of Old Master’s hospital room and pushed the door to enter.
Seeing Elly, the Old Master’s favorite, sitting by his side peeling an apple for him, she looked up and saw Adam Jones walk in with Elly, raising her eyebrows in question.
"My future nephew, you came too?"
Obviously, Elly’s address as "future nephew" successfully pleased Adam Jones, who rarely showed a mild smile to someone he wasn’t very familiar with.
He called out very naturally; though not familiar with Elly, her features resembled Elly’s, and hearing her call him "future nephew" meant she undoubtedly must be Elly’s aunt.
This was the first time Elly heard Adam Jones call her aunt, and it came as a bit of a surprise.
She had just heard the Old Master say that these two had divorced, hadn’t they?
But seeing the way Adam Jones, this young man, treated her, his former aunt-in-law, what kind of divorce was this?
Were these two turning the divorce into a farce?
She raised her eyebrows, her gaze shifted to Elly, and seeing that her expression was somewhat awkward and embarrassed, she understood, smiled, and stayed silent.
