Chapter 1029: 1029. Keeping face just to live off a woman. Chapter 1029: 1029. Keeping face just to live off a woman. “Okay.”
Elly Campbell nodded her head, feeling indeed a bit tired, and without insisting, she went upstairs.
When passing by Ivy Lentz’s room, she heard what seed like a phone call, faintly making out the words “daddy,” which made it clear Ivy was talking to Sean Lentz.
Just as Elly Campbell was about to listen more closely, the door to Ivy Lentz’s room suddenly opened.
Seeing Elly Campbell at the door, Ivy Lentz’s face slightly changed, a hint of panic in her eyes.
And this obvious panic did not escape Elly Campbell’s sharp observation.
Elly Campbell did not bother to justify why she was eavesdropping on the phone call. She appeared much more at ease compared to Ivy Lentz’s panicked deanor.
Her gaze lightly swept over the mobile phone in Ivy Lentz’s hand, she said:
“Talking to Mr. Lentz?”
Ivy Lentz, upon hearing Elly Campbell address Sean Lentz in this manner, felt sowhat displeased.
She wanted to say that her father was her elder, her own uncle, and that she shouldn’t be so rude.
But now, under soone else’s roof, she dared not assertively correct Elly Campbell’s address.
Moreover, Elly Campbell had a tongue sharp as thorns: whoever displeased her, she pricked.
“Yes… yes, I told Daddy about Grandpa falling down the stairs, and he’s really worried, said he must co and see Grandpa.”
Ivy Lentz explained guiltily, trying to convey to Elly Campbell how good and filial her father was.
Elly Campbell was no fool, not about to naively praise Sean Lentz’s filial gesture. Instead, she said with a laugh:
“If Mr. Lentz wants to reconcile with Aunt 2, why doesn’t he co over himself to apologize and admit his mistakes? Instead, he’s sending you, his daughter, to do it.
Why must a man act so spinelessly, lacking even the courage to apologize?”
Elly Campbell had no intention of giving Sean Lentz any face, pretending to be the dutiful son-in-law, right?
She was determined to strip away his hypocritical facade.
Upon hearing Elly Campbell speak so disrespectfully about her father and herself, a flash of malice and distortion flickered through Ivy Lentz’s eyes.
But that malice was quickly reined in by Ivy Lentz, with a rigid smile, she said:
“Daddy is also afraid that Mommy is still angry with him and too ashad to see her.”
“If he doesn’t have the courage to apologize, where does he get the nerve to ask for a reconciliation? Is he saving all his thick skin to be a kept man?”
“Elly Campbell, you…”
Ivy Lentz could no longer contain herself, the ferocity previously hidden in her gaze now blatantly displayed on her face.
Seeing that Ivy Lentz could no longer keep up her act, Elly Campbell’s lips curled into a sowhat mischievous smile.
Then, without another word, she turned and went back to her room.
Upon closing the door, the sly smile on Elly Campbell’s face instantly faded, and a coolness took its place.
She didn’t believe her grandfather’s fall was an accident.
Lying down beside the bed, Elly Campbell’s mind was cramd with many things.
The airplane accident involving Henry Jones over twenty years ago, Adam Jones being drugged and kidnapped nine years earlier, the car accident Adam had in the United States a few months back…
His sudden disappearance, sudden reappearance, and the bizarre loss of mory…
Each event made her feel as though she was in a fog; just by reaching out to dispel a layer of mist she could see everything clearly.
Yet, she always felt sothing was missing.
Letting Adam deal with Sophie Baker first, to draw out the people behind her, might just be a major clue.
