Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1273. Things are not simple

Finding the signs left by Elly was just a matter within their professional field for them, and it would not be too difficult.

After making arrangements, Adam Jones did not sit idly by; he followed the mercenaries out the door.

Not long after the car slowly left the Jones residence, it suddenly came to a halt.

"Boss, it’s the madam."

The mercenary in the passenger seat quickly turned back and informed Adam Jones.

Upon hearing this, without any hesitation, Adam quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

From a distance, he could see Elly approaching the Jones residence in a daze, her expression downcast, as if she had lost her soul, and she also looked very disheveled.

"Elly!"

Adam rushed forward, seeing that she was barefoot, holding her high heels in hand, probably having walked a long way since the soles of her feet were rubbed raw.

But she seemed to be oblivious or rather, it seemed she was deliberately punishing herself in this way.

She slowly raised her eyes, and when she saw Adam’s face, she was stunned for a long time and then suddenly broke into tears with a smile, "Adam... I didn’t find my mom..."

"I did everything as told, but I still couldn’t find my mom... She was covered in so much blood..."

Her emotions fluctuated greatly, choking up as she spoke.

Adam did not know what she had gone through during this period but hurriedly bent down to pick her up and headed back.

"Mom’s already back, let’s go home and talk."

Elly was stunned by his words, "What did you say? You said mom’s back?"

She struggled to get down from Adam’s arms, but he stubbornly held on and did not let go.

"Yes, mom was brought back by those people with some minor injuries, the doctor is checking on her now, let’s go home first."

Elly’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? Are you not lying to me?"

"You’ll know whether I lied to you or not once you go back and see for yourself."

Adam gazed gently at the instant brightness in her eyes, frowned slightly thinking about the skin rubbed off her soles.

Things were not as simple as they appeared.

Elly had gone missing for a day, yet her mother-in-law was suddenly returned unharmed.

So what exactly had Elly experienced during that day?

Many questions circled in Adam’s mind, but for now, he could only push those doubts aside.

Despite Adam repeatedly emphasizing that Jenna Clark had come back, Elly was still unable to fully believe it.

At a time when she had completely lost hope, Adam suddenly told her that her mother had returned with only a few minor injuries, it was hard for anyone to believe easily.

But perhaps she was truly exhausted, and only when being held by Adam did she realize the skin had been rubbed off the soles of her feet, and a faint sting was felt.

Unknowingly, she had walked such a long way barefoot and hadn’t taken a taxi the whole way. freewebnøvel_com

Her head gently rested against Adam’s chest, and she remained silent.

It wasn’t until they entered the Jones’ door that Adam didn’t put her down but carried her straight upstairs.

Elly had not seen Jenna and her heart suddenly tightened, even thinking that Adam might really be deceiving her.

Her body slowly tensed up in Adam’s arms, and in a hoarse voice she quietly asked:

"Where’s mom?"

At this moment, she was nothing like the decisive and capable corporate woman known for calling the shots outside, but more like a helpless and lost child separated from her mother.

Adam looked at the panic and fear in her eyes, and his heart tightened slightly.
