Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1012. Intentionally provoking her

Elly Campbell walked up, and Adam Jones very proactively took the bag from her hands and set it aside.

As Queen Elly sat down on the sofa, he eagerly scooted over and took a seat beside her.

"I originally just wanted to come to the company to mingle and make my presence known, but I didn’t expect to run into Sophie Baker downstairs and took the chance to provoke her a bit."

As she said this, her lips curved into a smile, saying,

"Sophie Baker, being an illegitimate daughter, has a strong sense of inferiority deeply ingrained in her. This inferiority complex continuously drives her to boast and to exude a sense of superiority that others don’t have."

"But every time she tries to get others to recognize this sense of superiority, she’s always knocked back down to reality, especially by the person she hates the most. What do you think happens to her then?"

Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow and smilingly asked Adam Jones.

Adam Jones wasn’t stupid. With just that hint from Elly Campbell, he immediately understood what she was getting at.

His gaze slightly darkened as he said,

"So you deliberately provoke her every time?"

Elly Campbell didn’t deny it and candidly nodded, admitting,

"Right, I do it on purpose. There’s nothing that irritates her more than me provoking her."

Speaking of this, Elly Campbell’s eyes deepened a bit.

"All these years, she has always liked to compare herself to me, to compete with me. She fantasizes about crushing me into the dirt, but every time she fails, and instead, each time she is the one crushed by me, so sooner or later she’ll be driven to desperation by me."

At this point, Elly Campbell let out a derisive sneer, only to be thwacked hard on the forehead by Adam Jones.

"Dare to laugh!"

Elly Campbell rubbed her forehead, which wasn’t really hurting, and muttered,

"Why hit me?"

"Aren’t you afraid she might genuinely go crazy if you keep provoking her? What if she hurts you?"

Adam Jones’s deep voice carried a noticeable displeasure, clearly he was really angry.

Elly Campbell knew he was worried about her, but at the moment, she had to flush out the pair of hands hidden behind the scenes before she could truly rest easy.

Investigations like the current one without a target made her feel like a grasshopper tied up and floating at sea, at any moment ready to be pressed into the water by a pair of hands or to have the cord cut, drowning in the depths.

The only ones she could target now were Lily Bankston and Sophie Baker, and with Sophie Baker, it was easier to find faults.

"Isn’t that what you’re here for, to soothe her?"

Elly Campbell, holding his arm, coaxed him while acting spoiled.

Adam Jones responded with an annoyed cold snort.

The thought that he had to sacrifice his dignity to uncover the person behind the scenes irritated Adam Jones.

Especially since the person he had to deal with was someone who couldn’t be more foolish.

Knowing that he was upset, Elly Campbell very perceptively changed the topic and said,

"I have another matter to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Adam Jones, knowing he had no "husbandly authority" in front of his wife, didn’t dwell on the previous issue and simply said,

"Have you asked Grandma? Was Lily Bankston at the presidential banquet nine years ago?"

"She was."

Adam Jones replied truthfully.

"Lily Bankston was invited as a well-known psychologist at the time, and since she was close to me, we went together."

Embracing Elly Campbell’s waist, he sat down and said,

"I don’t remember anything now, so I’m not sure about the specifics back then."
