She thought she knew Adam Jones, but at that moment, she realized she didn’t know him at all.
“Oh, it’s fine if you didn’t sign. After living apart for more than two years, if one party files for divorce, the court will automatically grant it.”
She spoke casually, not even glancing at Adam Jones as she tugged at her wrist, attempting to break free from his grip and escape the tension that surrounded him.
“Divorce proceedings? You’re overthinking it.”
Adam Jones suddenly let out a cold laugh, his eyes mocking Elly Campbell’s overestimation of herself.
“It seems you don’t understand the definition of living apart.”
Elly Campbell didn’t want to waste time arguing with Adam Jones over trivial matters. Trapped by him and unable to leave, she shot him a cold look.
“If a married couple has been separated for over two years due to a breakdown in their marriage, and one party requests a divorce, the court will automatically grant it. If you, President Jones, have any objections to this regulation, Jones’s legal consultants will explain it to you in detail. I am still working, so would you please step aside?”
Adam Jones stood firm, blocking the doorway, his lips curling into a mocking, cold smile.
“A breakdown in marriage? Since when did our relationship ever break down?”
Elly Campbell was momentarily stunned, finding his shamelessly extreme words laughable.
“That’s right,” she said with a biting tone. “There were never any feelings between President Jones and me, let alone any to break down.”
With that, she forcefully pushed him aside, catching Adam off guard and sending him stumbling out the door.
As she stormed off, Adam Jones’s expression gradually darkened.
He couldn’t even fully comprehend the surge of emotions inside him when he saw Elly Campbell’s face again.
For so long, he had believed his feelings for her were nothing but disgust and hatred. But when she had disappeared without a word four years ago, vanishing without a trace, his life had fallen apart. In those years of silence, he came to realize his feelings for her weren’t as simple as he had thought.
Even though she had humiliated him, something about her still held a different place in his heart.
Adam Jones’s unexpected appearance had thrown off Elly Campbell’s mood for the entire day.
Finally, her shift came to an end. As she walked out of the hospital, she spotted Robert Green waiting at the entrance. He approached her with a grin, calling out, “Madam.”
The title made Elly Campbell frown, her displeasure evident.
“Assistant Green, Adam Jones and I are divorced, please address me differently.”
“Alright, Madam, I’ll take note,”
Robert Green smiled, seemingly unfazed by Elly Campbell’s response. “Madam, please follow me. The president is waiting for you in the car.”
Elly Campbell didn’t bother to argue about the title with Robert Green. She shot him a cold glance, ignored the black Maybach parked by the roadside, and headed toward the spot where her car was parked.
Robert Green quickly followed her but froze when Elly Campbell shot him a cold glare, unsure whether to stay or go.
Elly Campbell got into her car and was about to close the door when a lean arm suddenly reached out, blocking it.
She looked up, locking eyes with him, those deep eyes full of irritation. Elly Campbell frowned, clearly impatient.
“Do you need something, President Jones?”
“Naturally, I’m here to take you home.”
Elly Campbell let out a cold laugh, her lips curling. “Which home? The Jones family home? If I recall correctly, four years ago, President Jones, you asked me to make room for Miss Baker. Four years later, and she still hasn’t moved in?”
