"In today’s world, with the internet so developed, there are all sorts of people. There will always be some keyboard warriors who refuse to believe the truth and get manipulated by others to attack Adam. Daisy Thompson doesn’t even deserve to have Adam ruin his reputation over her."
Having heard Harry Hall’s explanation, the dissatisfaction on Helen Melendy’s face eased a bit.
"Tonight, Daisy Thompson put all the blame on Sophia Green. Do you think Sophia Green will let Daisy Thompson off the hook?"
Helen Melendy lowered her gaze and thought for a moment, quickly understanding the meaning behind Harry Hall’s words.
Daisy Thompson naturally had Sophia Green to deal with her, so Elly and Adam truly didn’t need to bear a bad reputation for such a person.
After all, the slaps that Elly gave were quite satisfying in the end.
Suddenly, something came to her mind, and she looked up at Harry Hall, asking, "Did you say Adam Jones was hurt?"
Harry Hall was taken aback for a moment, then nodded his head, "Yes."
Then, remembering something, his brows abruptly furrowed.
"I’ll let Elly know."
As she spoke, she took out her phone to send a message to Elly Campbell.
Harry Hall stood by, watching Helen Melendy’s concern for Adam Jones, inevitably feeling a bit jealous.
"Why do you care so much about Adam Jones?"
Helen Melendy’s messaging paused, and she looked up at him, puzzled, then after thinking, she said:
"What’s that to you?"
But after speaking, she felt it wasn’t quite appropriate and added, "The one I’m concerned about is Elly."
Harry Hall didn’t speak, just looked at her with a complex expression, pursing his lips and remaining silent.
Helen Melendy glanced at him again, and after drawing back her gaze, continued to send the message to Elly Campbell.
Meanwhile, Elly Campbell, who had been left outside the door by Adam Jones, stood there befuddled, having no idea what was wrong with Adam.
Could it be that he was unhappy because she had beaten up his birth mother?
The next second, Elly Campbell dismissed that possibility.
She didn’t stand outside guessing wildly; instead, she pushed the door open and went inside.
Seeing that Adam Jones wasn’t in the bedroom, her eyes moved to the firmly closed bathroom door. Hearing noises inside, Elly Campbell thought for a moment and then knocked on the door.
The noises inside briefly ceased, then continued rustling with something.
Seeing that Adam Jones didn’t respond to her, Elly Campbell became even more convinced that he was angry with her. But for the life of her, she couldn’t think of anything she had done that evening, other than humiliating his birth mother, that could have made him angry.
Elly Campbell felt somewhat bewildered. She knocked on the door again, "Adam, what’s wrong? Are you angry with me?"
The person inside still didn’t respond, and Elly Campbell couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Yet, she still patiently asked another question, pressing her lips together, "Is it because of your mother... "
The bathroom door swung open the next second.
Adam Jones stood at the bathroom door, his deep gaze like two bottomless black holes, locking onto Elly Campbell’s delicate face and the clear confusion showing in her eyes.
Feeling a chill at the depth of his gaze, she distinctly saw the anger and disappointment in Adam Jones’s eyes. After thinking it over, the only reason she could come up with was Daisy Thompson.
She herself had no feelings for James Campbell, so, she subjectively assumed that this person who left his mother at the age of six might not care about the role of a mother.
But Adam Jones was not her; she had no reason to impose her perspective on others.
No matter what, that woman was still the mother who had carried him for ten months before giving birth to him.
