And in fact, Elly Campbell didn’t really pay much attention to the news.
Although the photo did look a bit intimate, Crystal Sharp and Adam Jones...
Elly thought about it and found it unbelievable, so when she first saw the photo, she was just surprised but didn’t think too much of it.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine. The news seems to be targeting Crystal, and someone will help her deal with it. We don’t need to worry about it," she said.
Hearing Elly’s words, Helen Melendy was half convinced, "How come you seem to know what’s going on with Crystal?"
"Hmm, I know. Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Hearing the tone of Elly’s voice, it seemed like she was truly okay, and Helen finally hung up the phone, feeling relieved.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s Office of Jones Corporation, Adam Jones’s face was ashen, looking rather intimidating.
Robert Green stood in front of him, somewhat trembling with fear.
It was rare that the news was not directed at their boss, yet the boss still ended up being the "male lead" in the news.
It hadn’t been easy for the boss to win back his wife recently, and just as he did, such a big piece of news broke.
Although the CEO had specifically "advised" certain news media not to report on his private affairs...
They did as told and also got smart about it.
This news indeed had nothing to do with their own boss. They were targeting Mrs. Crystal Sharp, and their boss was just incidentally brought into the Hot Search.
Those working in the media were really risking it all for money, playing such borderline games.
To know that if the lady misunderstood the boss again, causing their already unstable relationship to face another crisis, those in the media would truly be out of a job.
"President, should I ask the media to retract the news?"
After a moment of silence, Robert Green braced himself against his own boss’s fury and asked this question.
This piece of news would naturally be handled by someone. If he rushed to retract it so anxiously, it might make people think he had a guilty conscience.
What he was worried about now was not this, but Elly...
Would she...believe him?
Adam Jones’s thin lips were pressed into a line, his heart unavoidably filled with a few tinges of unease.
Although he hadn’t asked Robert Green to withdraw the Hot Search, he did instruct him to manage the comments.
Any comments attempting to link him with Crystal Sharp in a romantic light simply couldn’t be published.
As a result, the current online comments didn’t involve him much.
After Robert Green left, Adam Jones turned off the online news, set his phone aside, and picked up the documents handed over by his secretary to read.
However, no matter what, he just couldn’t focus on the words, his gaze periodically drifting to his phone resting on the side.
"Will Elly come to ask me?"
If she called to ask him, or even angrily interrogated him, that would mean she cared about him, right?
Forget it, better not wait for her to ask.
Thinking this way, he picked up the phone again, preparing to call Elly Campbell and explain.
Just as he opened his call log, he paused and set the phone aside again.
In his heart, he still hoped that Elly would take the initiative to call and inquire about the news.
But when he had waited all day, and the news online had indeed been retracted as clean as he had expected, Elly hadn’t made a single call.
This made Adam Jones’s heart start to feel somewhat irritable.
Tugging at the tie around his neck, he walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of red wine, and thought about everything between Elly and himself before.
