Chapter 1131: 1131. Death throes
Mrs. Thompson thought Elly believed her and imdiately felt a sense of relief, even proud of her own cleverness.
“What’s the deal with this woman then? Why was she hiding in my room and trying to stab with a knife?”
“This…”
Mrs. Thompson’s eyes quickly whirled around.
Elly pulled Lily Jones to sit by her side and watched with great interest as the woman spun her tale like a performing clown.
“Sophia heard from Lily that Elly wanted to kill you. She was very worried, so she followed Lily’s advice, hid under the bed, and waited for Elly to co. She intended to strike first and subdue Elly, so you would be safe…”
“But she didn’t anticipate that all of this was just a trick by Lily and Elly. It must have been very dark in the room at the ti, which was part of Lily’s plan. It made Sophia unable to distinguish if it was you or Elly. When Sophia made her move, she must have thought it was Elly who…”
“Pfft—”
Elly, who had been listening by the side, just couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
“You have the skills of a screenwriter. You should personally write a script for your stepdaughter the actress; it would surely be a hit.”
Mrs. Thompson wasn’t afraid to confront Elly directly, especially now that her son had amnesia.
“Elly, stop pretending. Adam knows exactly what you’ve done to him. The shares you forcefully financed for the Jones Corporation ended up in your own pocket. You’ve been plotting against Adam since the accident. Do you really think Adam would trust you?”
She tried using this statent to remind Adam Jones to further distrust Elly.
She expected Elly to imdiately deny it, but instead, Elly nodded calmly, “Yes, I did invest legitimate money into Jones Corporation, and the shares are rightfully mine. Is there a problem?”
Elly sat down next to Adam Jones and looked at Mrs. Thompson with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying,
“Mrs. Green, you seem to be very aware of my actions, aren’t you?”
Then, she turned her gaze to Cam Green, saying,
“I didn’t expect Master Green to have such a wide network that even our Jones Corporation directors couldn’t trace things back to , yet you’re so well-inford.”
Cam Green already had a bad feeling when Mrs. Thompson ntioned this.
The fact that Elly was the person behind the financing company was only known to Adam Jones himself and the contacts in the United States.
But now, they knew about it too, wasn’t it clear they were about to expose everything?
Adam Jones’ gaze also shifted slowly to him at that mont, “I haven’t even ntioned this to Elly, how did you know?”
“This…”
Cam Green was instantly choked up by Adam’s question, unable to bear looking into his deep, scrutinizing eyes, and instinctively avoided his gaze.
“It was… a friend who told ?”
“What friend?”
“I… I can’t say.”
Of course, Adam Jones knew where Cam Green had gotten the information, so he didn’t plan to press further.
“If you can’t say, then you can’t. Mrs. Thompson, you’ve said so much, you must be tired. How about we sit down and watch a play starring Miss Green?”
Cam Green and Mrs. Thompson didn’t understand why Adam Jones suddenly suggested watching a play starring Sophia Green out of the blue.
But at that mont, none of them protested, nor did they notice the even grayer hue on Sophia Green’s face.
In the living room, the 100-inch TV screen lit up, and in the next second, the image of Sophia Green appeared before everyone’s eyes.
