This woman had offended Auntie, and she was definitely not going to have an easy time, but she didn’t expect this woman’s tongue to be so sharp that even Auntie couldn’t outtalk her.
Just as she was looking forward to Auntie teaching this woman a lesson, Adam Jones happened to show up again.
In her heart, she was somewhat expectant and also a bit excited, wanting to make an impression in front of Adam.
The last time her father went to Jones to discuss business, she made an excuse to follow him, hoping to see Adam during that opportunity and then find a chance to get closer to him.
With her cousin as a connection and her own pleasant looks, she was quite confident that she could catch Adam’s eye.
Latter, she waited for a long time, until her father finished his meeting with the vice president of Jones, and she didn’t see Adam appear. In the end, she only bumped into him when exiting the elevator.
At that time, her father greeted him and Adam only shook hands with her father, leaving without further conversation, let alone saying a single word to her from beginning to end.
She had thought that this time, even if Adam didn’t recognize her, she had taken the initiative to greet him, and he would at least give her some face and shake hands with her in accordance with her wishes.
As long as Adam shook hands with her, it would be an acknowledgment of her "long time no see," and to bystanders, it would seem that she and Adam were at least acquainted.
Who would have thought that he didn’t even move his hand and so bluntly slapped her face with his words, under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes ready to laugh at her, Shannon Richards was both angry and annoyed, almost grinding her teeth to pieces.
But she didn’t have the guts to be sarcastic with Adam, so she could only tough it out and introduce herself:
"President Jones is a busy man and likely forgets easily. Last month I accompanied my father to discuss business at Jones, and we met then."
Having said that, she felt Adam wouldn’t let her be too embarrassed. However, she still overestimated Adam’s emotional intelligence.
Hearing him reply very impolitely, "Who is your father?"
Shannon’s face fluctuated between red and white, and her nails dug into her palms due to the force she was exerting.
"My father is Adrian Richards, the chairman of Richards’s Corporation."
Adam nodded indifferently, "Don’t know him."
The onlooking staff couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and both Leanne and Shannon’s faces turned sour.
The Richards’s Corporation couldn’t compare with the Jones, but it was still a well-known enterprise. Adam’s blunt snub seemed way out of line.
Especially for Leanne, with Adrian Richards being her own brother, Adam’s actions were dismissive of her brother and showed little regard for her.
Relying on the fact that she was Harry Hall’s mother and the matriarch of the Hall Family, she felt a sense of superiority over anyone present in front of Adam.
Seeing her looking at Adam with discontent, she said, "Adam, the woman you’re marrying sure has a sharp tongue. You’d better be careful. It won’t be good if she climbs over your head in the future."
Upon hearing her words, Elly Campbell’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Was she already stirring up trouble in their marital relationship?
If Helen really married into the Hall Family, having such a mother-in-law, her life would indeed be extremely difficult.
Elly was now thinking that if Harry allowed his mother to continue being so harsh, she would never let Helen marry into the Hall Family.
While Elly was considering the matter between Helen Melendy and Harry Hall, Adam Jones observed Leanne with a cold gaze.
