Chapter 1116: 1116. What is she really after?
Adam Jones was stunned for a mont, and the next second, he sighed and said,
“No wonder…”
“No wonder what?”
“No wonder I dreamt that you were remarrying, which jolted awake.”
Adam held Elly Campbell’s hand, speaking with an expression of fright,
“Thank goodness I woke up; otherwise, I wouldn’t even have a ‘sugar mama’ to rely on.”
Elly, who had been “sorrowful and upset,” was instantly amused by Adam’s words.
“You know what’s good for you.”
Adam laughed and hugged her tightly, then kissed her forehead and said seriously,
“Now that I’m back, leave everything to ; you just rest well.”
Elly nodded in agreent, but although she was supposed to rest, how could she truly set her mind at ease?
How could she rest easy without understanding Lily Bankston’s motives and those of the people behind her?
After her emotions had settled, Elly returned to her usual calm deanor and said,
“What’s your take on Cam Green’s situation?”
At the ntion of Cam Green, Adam’s face grew more somber.
“He obviously knew about my amnesia which emboldened him to spout nonsense in front of .”
Elly nodded, which was sothing she had been pondering since her ti at the President’s mansion.
“The fact of your amnesia has been well-concealed; aside from a few of us, only the people on Lily Bankston’s side knew about it. It’s no coincidence that Cam Green is aware of these matters.”
Upon hearing this, Elly looked at him and asked, “What role do you think he plays for Lily Bankston and her group?”
She didn’t speak of Lily Bankston alone but referred to Lily Bankston’s group to confirm that the whole matter couldn’t possibly be orchestrated by Lily Bankston alone.
She didn’t have that much influence.
Moreover, until now, they still couldn’t understand what motivated Lily Bankston to do these things.
Thinking along these lines, Elly voiced the question in her heart—
“What do you think is Lily Bankston’s motive behind these actions?”
ntioning Lily Bankston caused Adam’s expression to turn sowhat mournful.
Since he was young, he didn’t have parents around, and it was Aunt Lily who helped his grandmother raise him and his sister.
When he fell ill with a fever, she was the one who stayed up all night without sleep to care for him until dawn.
When he was in a bad mood, she counseled him patiently until he cheered up.
Even at this mont, he was reluctant to believe that soone he regarded as his own mother would plot against him and even co close to costing him his life.
“What on earth does she want? What could she possibly want that I couldn’t give her? Why would she sche against like this?”
Hearing the restrained and husky tone in Adam’s voice, Elly’s heart ached as she held his hand.
She could understand his feelings at this mont.
If now, suddenly, her own mother wanted her life, she too would be bewildered.
“It won’t be until she tells us herself that we will know.”
She held Adam’s hand, offering comfort.
“Don’t think too much; she might have truly cared for you at one point. As to why she suddenly changed, we simply can’t speculate.”
Adam nodded, even though he was very reluctant to accept this fact. With reality laid bare, he had no choice but to face it.
After a mont of contemplation, he said,
“Since I took over Jones Corp, I’ve been investigating my father’s death. For the past dozen years, Aunt Lily has been investigating this matter with …”
He still habitually referred to Lily Bankston as Aunt Lily.
“The last ti I went to the United States to see her was to talk to her about Jacob Clark.”
Elly didn’t interrupt but listened quietly as he spoke about what had happened in the United States.
