Elly Campbell lifted her head from her mobile phone, looking at Elly’s worried face, "Hm? It’s nothing."
Elly pressed her beautiful red lips together, choosing her words carefully before saying:
"You haven’t been rendered foolish by Adam Jones, have you?"
The hand Elly held her phone with paused, then she laughed and shook her head.
"What’s there to be angry about? He’s just a man. Compared to the three years of cold treatment he gave me during our marriage, him openly playing with another woman this time is like respecting me."
Elly watched Elly Campbell somewhat speechlessly.
She couldn’t believe she could even utter the word "respect."
Crazy! Her niece must have been driven mad by anger.
She didn’t say anything more to Elly and got up to leave.
Elly Campbell watched her aunt’s back and chuckled softly.
She knew her aunt was concerned about her, but this matter between her and Adam was theirs alone, and she didn’t want to involve more people.
The online flame war grew fiercer, and some comments devoid of moral compass, Elly knew without checking, were paid trolls hired by Sophie Baker.
Saying things like if Elly Campbell couldn’t keep her man in check, she shouldn’t blame him for being unfaithful.
And comments like in the face of true love, even the lawful wife must step aside.
Even more absurd were comments suggesting that Adam Jones, being the man he is, shouldn’t just stop at one woman—he could be forgiven even if it were a group of women.
And such comments even climbed to the top of the Hot Comments.
That day, after she left the Jones Corporation, she drove directly back to the Campbell family home, never returning to the Jones residence.
Many were watching Adam’s reaction, waiting for him to coax Elly Campbell back from her family home. But he didn’t.
For several days, Elly stayed with her family, and the online scandal involving Adam and his mistress slowly subsided.
Just when a few people still pitied Elly for having married a monster, the Old Lady of the Jones family, after a previous supportive Tweet, posted another one.
"There’s only one Young Miss in the Jones Family, we do not accept any disreputable women."
Upon release, this Tweet turned Sophie Baker into a laughingstock online.
Sophie Baker had been in a good mood these past few days, and didn’t care how much she was vilified online as a shameless mistress.
They were just jealous that she had managed to marry Adam and become the First Lady of the Jones Corporation.
In the future, wouldn’t she be approached by various people trying to curry favor with her to gain benefits from the Jones corporation?
The more these people cursed her, the more it seemed to Sophie that they were just envious of her.
But now, the person posting on Twitter was Adam’s grandmother, and that was not just any random person.
Even if Adam didn’t remember that old hag, she was still an elder of the Jones generation, with a venerable identity far above any common folk.
What if Adam took into account that Old Lady’s opinions and didn’t divorce Elly?
The more Sophie thought about it, the angrier she became, silently cursing the Old Lady fiercely in her mind.
Shortly after the Old Lady posted that message, reporters caught the Old Lady’s car appearing at the Jones Corporation building.
Soon after, she was invited inside by the employees.
No one knew what the Old Lady said to Adam in the CEO’s Office, but everyone knew she gave him a severe scolding.
"This ancient creature, how come she has survived so many brushes with death yet never dies."
Seeing the Tweet posted by Mrs. Jones, and the fact that she had personally gone to the Jones Corporation to berate Adam, which then went viral on Hot Search, Sophie was so enraged she smashed her newly purchased mobile phone.
