Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1018. The internally selected leading actress

She seemed to worry that he might be even the slightest bit upset by her words.

Yet, he only looked on with a calm face, showing no sign of anger, and then continued,

"If you don’t divorce her soon, might she continue to scheme and take things that don’t belong to her?"

She bit her lower lip, still feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"But if you propose divorce to her, might she become unhappy and, just like today, use shares to threaten you... making you too passive..."

Her words, circling around the point, told Adam Jones that he should not only divorce Elly Campbell but also figure out a way to take back the Jones shares from her hands.

Seeing that Adam seemed thoughtful, as if considering her words.

A moment later, Adam raised his eyes to look at her, his perfect lips curving into a smile of just the right degree as he said,

"You’re right, but the shares in Elly’s hands are a big threat to me. I’ll find a way to trick the shares back from her, and when that time comes, I’ll divorce her immediately."

Although Adam didn’t say he would marry her after the divorce, Sophie Baker read into his unsaid words very proactively.

Her heart surged with joy, as if she could already see Adam divorcing Elly, Elly being driven out of the Jones Family, and herself becoming the Young Miss of the Jones Family.

"So, you had to endure being hit today, and for that, you were wronged."

Adam was rarely so gentle with her, and this easily pleased Sophie. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Eager to present a gentle and proper image before Adam, entirely different from Elly’s aggressive approach, even though she wished she could immediately have that little wench downstairs leave, she didn’t show the slightest bit on her face.

Hearing Adam say she had been wronged today, she quickly shook her head and said,

"I’m not wronged, I’m fine, don’t worry about me."

She now endured this grievance, waiting for the day when she would officially become the lady of the Jones family. Not only did she want to make that little wench leave the front desk, but she also wanted to ensure she could never find a satisfying job.

She was curious to see who would dare to go against Mrs. Jones and employ a worker who had been dismissed by Mrs. Jones.

"You’ve come at just the right time, I was about to look for you."

Adam’s voice interrupted Sophie’s pleasant daydreams.

She came back to her senses and saw Adam passing her a file folder, saying,

"It seems you’ve pretty much recovered. This is some major production from top directors that I’ve been in touch with these past few days. I’ve already greased the wheels, so just give them a nod and go audition.

No matter how you perform, the leading lady role is yours."

Upon hearing this, Sophie’s joy was immediate.

Stepping forward, she took the file folder Adam handed her and opened it, where the names of the directors and blockbusters, as well as the cast for the lead and supporting male roles, were all clearly marked.

The director was a renowned figure, the project was a popular big-budget production, and even the lead and supporting male and female roles were actors and actresses who had won various awards.

Being offered the leading role in such a set-up, she knew that if it had not been for Adam’s intervention, not even her father, James Campbell, would have had such good connections and resources.

She had just entered the entertainment industry at the "advanced age" of twenty-seven; without Adam’s help, she really couldn’t have had such a high starting point.

She then looked over the other big productions in the folder, all of which had very high settings, making her eyes sparkle.

Her eyes brimmed with emotion as she looked at Adam, her eyes filled with love.

"Adam, thank you..."
