Chapter 47: President Jones’s Female Companion_1 Chapter 47: President Jones’s Female Companion_1 James Churchill even several times unhesitantly placed his hand on Elly Campbell’s shoulder, and Elly didn’t dodge it.
That image was unbearably irritating to Adam Jones’s eyes.
The face of James Churchill and his intimacy with Elly only intensified the sense of crisis in Adam’s heart.
Wait! What did that man call her? Little cutie!
A heavy punch, as if to vent, slammed into the steering wheel in front of him, sending a piercing horn sound throughout the parking lot, but Elly didn’t hear it.
As soon as she got out of the car and walked into the hospital building, she heard several nurses talking innocently and whimsically about something, their eyes shimmering with irrepressible infatuation.
“My idol is going to take Dr. Campbell to meet his parents today, I’m heartbroken.”
“Come on, they are the officially recognized couple of our hospital, you better stay out of it.”
“I’m heartbroken before the romance even started, and you guys don’t even console me…”
Adam’s steps halted, and the look he gave those nurses was frighteningly stern.
Elly’s going to meet that man’s parents?
Yes, he almost forgot, he heard Elly mention it to that man over the phone that day.
His thick brows suddenly knit together, a trace of chilliness spilled from those drooping cold eyes.
“This damned Elly Campbell!”
Adam practically ground out those words through clenched teeth, his chilliness following him all the way to Lily Jones’s hospital room.
“Eh? Brother, why have you come again?”
Although her brother doted on her, Lily was somewhat at a loss with him visiting so many times in one day.
Luckily, it was a good time for Brother to come, as Sophie was also there.
Lily stretched out her hand and secretly tugged on Sophie Baker’s sleeve, giving her a meaningful look. Clearly, she was signaling her to seize the opportunity.
“Brother, Assistant Baker said you have a banquet tonight, have you chosen your female companion yet?”
If Lily hadn’t mentioned it, he would have forgotten about tonight’s banquet.
Who should he take as a female companion?
In his mind, the image of Elly’s face flashed, that proud face, those clear eyes, the aura of someone in total control…
Seeing Adam stand there in a daze, Lily knew he hadn’t chosen a female companion. She also knew he would definitely not choose Elly. Without delay, she pushed Sophie Baker forward a little.
“It just so happens that Sophie is free, why not let her accompany you?”
Lily’s intentions were clear to everyone present, including Adam.
Although Sophie also hoped that Adam would take her to that kind of event, to be seen with him, even if her status was low, she would start receiving attention.
After all, no one would dare to look down on the person Adam Jones took out.
Eventually, people would dig into her identity, and along with it, her identity as James Campbell’s daughter would be revealed…
Sophie’s thoughts were beautiful and she was full of anticipation, yet she outwardly declined repeatedly—
“Lily, don’t talk nonsense. Adam should take his sister-in-law to the banquet, what would it look like if he took me?”
Despite saying this, her gaze expectantly settled on Adam’s face.
Adam didn’t look at her, his unfathomable eyes slightly narrowed, deep in thought.
“What’s wrong with that? My brother never brings that woman to events, and now they’ve been separated for four years, a divorce isn’t far off. I think it’s quite suitable for you to go. Right, brother?”
Lily deliberately threw the topic over to Adam, asking him.
At this moment, Sophie couldn’t be more nervous. Her success or failure hinged on a single sentence from Adam.
