"I’ve asked around, the commercial secrets you betrayed cost Jones only a couple of hundred million, which I can still afford to lose, so there’s no need to make a big deal and insist on sending you to jail,"
Upon hearing Adam Jones’s words, Sophie Baker was clearly taken aback, having not expected him to say such a thing.
Though he could afford to pay a few hundred million, and even at the first his father had proposed a double compensation to let Adam let her off, Adam had refused.
So why is he saying this now?
But soon, Sophie figured it out—it had to be that bitch Elly Campbell, who else could it be?
She thought, all these years, Adam had never been stingy with her when it came to money, readily giving her more than a few hundred million, so why would he care about a loss of one or two hundred million?
It must have been because Adam had listened to Elly Campbell’s words, insisting on having her imprisoned, that he firmly refused to let go.
Thinking this, Sophie cursed vehemently in her heart.
If it hadn’t been for Elly Campbell, how would she have suffered so much in prison?
The more Sophie thought, the more she hated, but she still couldn’t understand, if Adam was so influenced by Elly Campbell’s words, why would he release her this time?
Could it be that there was trouble in the relationship between Adam and Elly Campbell?
Just the thought of such a possibility excited Sophie, yet her face remained pained as she looked at Adam Jones.
In her eyes, a faint glimmer of tears sparkled, as if she had suffered immensely, biting her lower lip, she said:
"Adam, thank you for not pursuing the losses of Jones, I will have my father compensate you for them."
Adam Jones waved his hand, saying, "Didn’t I say? It’s just a couple of hundred million, which I can still afford to lose, there’s no need to talk about compensation. Compared to what you’ve done for the Jones siblings, this amount of money is nothing."
Sophie knew that Adam was referring to the time she saved him and Lily Jones.
But back then he had warned her; he hated it most when she tried to use favors to get what she wanted, especially after Elly Campbell returned...
Oh right, Elly Campbell again.
His attitude towards her had become colder and worse, all after Elly Campbell reappeared.
It was definitely that bitch stirring things up behind the scenes, fortunately, Adam wasn’t deceived and woke up early.
Thinking this, she quickly waved her hands, saying:
"It’s nothing, it’s all in the past, besides, the compensation you gave me at the time was plenty, you really shouldn’t dwell on it."
Adam Jones looked at her, then sat in the chair, silent for a long time, as if hesitating about something.
After being schooled in prison, Sophie had learned to be much more patient, and with Adam Jones not speaking, she too stayed quiet, just sitting there obediently.
After a long time, Adam Jones finally made a move, sitting up straight in the executive chair, his gaze intense as he looked at Sophie, saying:
"To be honest, I had an accident in the United States a while back, and when I woke up, I had lost my previous memories."
Sophie was initially startled by his words, and the next second, she opened her mouth in shock, staring at Adam Jones in disbelief.
"Adam, you... you..."
Adam Jones nodded and then made a gesture for silence, saying:
"Don’t tell anyone, only a few close people know about this."
Sophie was already stunned by the news, but hearing Adam Jones say only a "few close people" knew, filled her heart with even more joy.
Was Adam telling her this because, perhaps, she was one of his close people?
