Chapter 1523: 1523. I want to smash his teeth.
After his figure disappeared from her sight, Elly Campbell’s gaze was still fixed on the office door, her face showing a thoughtful expression.
“What’s the matter?”
Adam Jones’s low voice sounded in her ear, simultaneously interrupting her train of thought.
Elly Campbell shook her head, then looked at Adam Jones, and said:
“Do you also feel that Ethan White is acting a bit strange?”
Adam Jones’s deep eyes squinted slightly without revealing any emotions. Recalling Ethan White’s reaction just then, the color in his eyes deepened a bit, but on his face, he said:
“Why would I pay attention to him?”
“You were clearly watching him just now.”
Elly Campbell exposed him assertively.
Adam Jones’s expression remained unchanged. He responded calmly:
“If not for fearing I would make you angry, when he finished speaking just now, I would have already broken his teeth.”
Elly Campbell: “…”
Although Ethan White was somewhat peculiar, Elly Campbell didn’t particularly focus on his intentions, so she didn’t continue discussing Ethan White with Adam Jones.
She was about to ask when Adam Jones would return to the Jones Group, but seeing Adam raise his hand to check his watch, he unexpectedly spoke first:
“I have to head back to the company first. I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Alright.”
Adam Jones leaned down, kissed Elly Campbell on the forehead, then turned to leave.
Compared to frequently looking back as he left in the past, this time Adam Jones walked away quite decisively, which somewhat surprised Elly Campbell.
She shook her head and smiled, not thinking much of it. She turned and went back to her desk to start her work for the afternoon.
As Adam Jones left Elly Campbell’s office, the color in his eyes deepened even more.
When he walked out of the Campbell building and headed towards the parking lot, he saw Ethan White’s low-key colored Maybach parked in front of his car. As he approached, the car window slowly rolled down.
“President Jones, do you have time to talk?”
He took off his sunglasses, looked at Adam Jones, and said with a serious expression.
Adam Jones squinted at him, pondered for a moment, then opened the door of the Maybach’s passenger seat and sat in.
“Elly might be in trouble.”
The two found a nearby coffee shop to sit down. Just after they sat, Ethan White spoke first.
Adam Jones cast a glance at Ethan White, his face betraying no thoughts. After they each ordered a cup of coffee, Adam Jones said:
“Go ahead, what’s going on?”
Just now at the Campbell building, he felt that Ethan White’s behavior was somewhat off, especially when he seemed to want to call him along as he left, making him even more suspicious of the man.
That’s also why he hurriedly left the Campbell building just now.
As expected, Ethan White didn’t leave the Campbell building immediately but waited for him in the parking lot.
Seeing Adam Jones’s indifferent reaction, Ethan White knew Adam probably sensed something when he was in Elly Campbell’s office earlier.
Ethan White smiled, though he still disliked Adam Jones’s arrogance, he had to admit that dealing with smart people was indeed much easier.
He took a small sip of the coffee brought by the waiter, his gaze fell on the speckled shadows of the trees outside the café. After being silent for two seconds, he shifted his gaze back to Adam Jones and said:
“President Jones, you’ve heard about our family’s troublesome relatives, right?”
Adam Jones lazily lifted an eyelid and replied heavily, “Mhm, I’ve heard, but I’m not interested in knowing more.”
Ethan White let out another faint laugh. Regarding the White Family’s disputes over inheritance and power, he had no interest in explaining much to Adam Jones.
