Chapter 1146: The fox’s tail is gradually revealed.
She opened the door and walked out, seemingly having heard so commotion upstairs, the voices of two people arguing, which then stopped.
“Aunt Lily.”
“Aunt Lily.”
Both their faces looked rather unpleasant.
Lily Bankston was looking forward to such a scene, smiling as she ca downstairs.
“As soon as I opened the door, I heard you arguing. What’s going on?”
While she spoke, Lily Bankston looked at Adam Jones, adopting the tone of an elder to rebuke him,
“Adam, you too, a grown man should be more considerate to his wife.”
Adam Jones, face ashen, didn’t speak, but walked over to Lily Bankston and changed the subject,
“Aunt Lily, Gloria told you were looking for ?”
If it had been a normal marital relationship, Adam Jones would have said he heard it from Elly Campbell, not from Gloria.
So, just from Adam’s words, Lily Bankston could infer that the couple’s relationship had indeed hit rock bottom.
She thought for a mont, then smiled and said,
“Yes, there is sothing I need to discuss with you.”
“Alright, let’s go to the cafe then.”
“Mm.”
Lily Bankston nodded her head but didn’t call Elly Campbell along, as if deliberately ignoring her.
Seeing Elly Campbell’s complexion worsening, the hidden smile in Lily Bankston’s eyes grew a bit deeper.
Adam Jones also didn’t call Elly Campbell to join them, knowing that whatever Aunt Lily wanted to discuss with him, she probably preferred Elly Campbell not to be present.
Elly Campbell didn’t follow them, and after Adam Jones and Lily Bankston left, she sat down huffily on the couch.
Once they reached the cafe, Lily Bankston casually started the conversation,
“What were you two fighting about?”
“Nothing much, just about the presidential election next month. She asked about sponsoring a candidate.”
Adam Jones replied indifferently, but Lily’s expression beca serious.
Still, she seemingly unconcernedly said, “All this quarreling over that? Can’t you just indulge her?”
“She said that before I lost my mory, I always supported the current President, Tony Wilson.”
Adam Jones did not conceal anything from Lily Bankston, as he began to prepare coffee at the cafe table.
“That day, Elly Campbell had Tony Wilson send Jas Grant to hypnotize to recover my mory. I was a bit cautious at the ti, worried she might be playing so other angle.”
Hearing this, Lily Bankston seed to understand, “So, during that hypnosis session, you didn’t cooperate with Jas Grant?”
“Mm, Elly Campbell has sched against several tis. How could I possibly trust soone she introduces without reservation?”
Adam Jones chuckled.
Lily Bankston nodded, “No wonder.”
“No wonder what?”
“No wonder Jas Grant couldn’t help you recover your mories. I thought that after years in business, he had neglected his profession.”
Hearing this, Adam Jones looked at Lily Bankston curiously, smiling,
“From what you’re saying, Aunt Lily, you’re quite familiar with this Jas Grant?”
“We were at the sa school when we were younger.”
Lily Bankston replied nonchalantly.
Adam Jones did not inquire further about their relationship, instead, he asked,
“Do you think it’s worthwhile for to support the President?”
He poured a cup of coffee for Lily Bankston and continued,
“Elly Campbell had him introduce Jas Grant to , which suggests she’s quite close to the President. I’m not too comfortable with this person.”
Lily Bankston took the coffee, sipping thoughtfully before smiling,
“Is this what you were just arguing about?”
Adam Jones nodded, “I told her I don’t rember Tony Wilson. Even if I were to support him, I’d want to observe him for a while longer.”
“That’s a reasonable thought, especially since you don’t really know anyone right now.”
“But Elly Campbell insists that I’ve always been a supporter of Tony Wilson. The more anxious she gets, the more suspicious I find it.”
