PopularNovelChapter 760: 760. Heart, got cold_1
The role of a mother, compared with that of a father, really does have its differences.
With this thought, she moved her dry lips and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, | should have asked for your opinion
first..."
Your opinion...
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Adam Jones's "Do you even care aboutat all?"
Hearing the suppressed fury in his tone, Elly Campbell also couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness in her
heart.
Was it really because of Daisy Thompson?
So, she plotted to drug her, to ruin her completely, and she shouldn't retaliate?
But at that time, in her subconscious, she had somehow convinced herself that no matter what she did, Adam
Jones would stand by her side.

She lowered her eyes, remaining silent for a long while, and after a long time, she spoke with a hint of defiance:
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
Adam Jones chuckled coldly, "With your capabilities, why bother apologizing to me?"
With that, he walked past Elly Campbell out of the bathroom, the mocking sarcasm in his voice making Elly
involuntarily frown.
She turned to watch the man walking towards the study with his back to her, her gaze dimming slightly.
She didn’t speak again but stood in place for a good while, her heart growing colder bit by bit.
But the next second, Adam Jones, who had just entered the study, cout again. He walked determinedly
towards her, looking irritated and helpless against her, and said:
"Do you know how dangerous tonight was?"
Elly Campbell was stunned, still not understanding what Adam meant, then she heard him continue:
"If the waiter who cto see you deliberately told you the Thompsons’ plan, would you have just drunk that
wine?"
At this moment, Adam Jones felt somewhat relieved that the recruitment system for the island was so strict to
prevent security breaches. When they hired people, they almost examined these people’s family backgrounds
for three generations up and three generations down to ensure that no one on the island was easily bribed.
But after all, human hearts are unpredictable, and even with his thorough preparations, unexpected incidents are
still inevitable.
Just like the people who broke onto the island tonight to kill him.
Even with the tightest security measures on the island, they still managed to get in, didn’t they?
Now, the thought of this woman facing Daisy Thompson alone made him uncontrollably worried.
If... If they had succeeded...
Adam Jones couldn't even bear to think about it. Every tthe thought crossed his mind, he wished he could
tear that old woman to pieces.
After Adam finished speaking, Elly took a long while to realize what he was angry about.
A faint light began to emerge in the depth of her previously dimmed eyes.
"Are you worried about me?"
When Adam heard her ask this, his angry eyes narrowed slightly.
"What else did you think?"
Elly pressed her lips together, her previously downcast mood quickly lifting.
She knew it, her island lord couldn't possibly be blaming her for Daisy Thompson's incident.
Initially, she really hadn't thought too much about it; after all, if that person truly wanted to schagainst her,
he wouldn't have told her, and perhaps she would have fallen for it.
There was no need to go out of his way to risk drawing her attention by messing up.
Therefore, she had still chosen to trust that waiter. After all, this island belonged to Adam Jones; if he colluded
with Daisy Thompson to plot against her successfully, not only could he lose his job, but there would be even
worse consequences waiting for him.
