Chapter 1166: 1166. Visiting Prison
She resorted to her usual tricks and said to Jas Campbell,
“Dad, I know I was blinded by stupidity back then. I was just too envious that Elly could marry Adam, so I used such an extre thod.”
“At that ti, Uncle Forest didn’t tell about the dark plan behind it all, he just said he had a way to help get close to Adam.”
As she spoke, she covered her face with both hands and began to sob softly.
Jas Campbell cherished Sophie Baker, his daughter, more than Elly Campbell, who was unworthy; Sophie was the one who was filial and considerate toward him.
He also knew that Sophie didn’t have the courage to get involved in Ian Foster’s affairs, so now, listening to her cry so sadly and fearfully, his heart softened a bit.
lody Baker saw his expression soften slightly and hurriedly seized the opportunity, stepping forward and saying,
“Jas, I know it was all our fault this ti, and we know we’ve caused you major trouble, but now, we really have no way out.”
She clutched Jas Campbell’s arm, looking pitiful, and pleaded,
“Jas, if Adam Jones finds out we were involved in his kidnapping back then, he will surely take his anger out on you too. And with the connection to Elly Campbell, just think, can the Campbell company still be preserved?”
When he heard her words, his face suddenly changed, and she continued to stimulate him, saying,
“Jas, when Elly sold you so many shares of the Campbell company, did you really think she was content? Perhaps this ti, it’s her chance to take back the Campbell company.
By then, you’ll have lost the billions from that ti and have to hand over the Campbell company to Elly on a platter. Can you really accept that?”
Jas Campbell was shaken to the core by lody Baker’s words.
Initially, he sold all of his private assets to gather enough money to buy the shares from Elly Campbell.
Now, apart from his shares in the Campbell company, he didn’t have much cash on hand, and his private assets were scarce. If the Campbell company were truly taken by Elly, he would be left with nothing.
“What do you want to do?”
After a long while, Jas Campbell, his voice grave and his body weary, finally spoke.
Seeing Jas’s attitude finally soften, the Baker mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dad, could you find a way to arrange a eting with Benjamin Forest?”
Sophie Baker, clinging to Jas Campbell’s arm, asked gently.
The fear and insecurity hiding in her eyes still made Jas Campbell unable to bring himself to refuse.
“Alright, just this once. But if I find out that you’re up to anything else behind my back, I won’t help you again.”
“Thank you, Dad. Rest assured, I won’t dare do it again,”
Sophie Baker said lowly, and with her always dutiful and obedient deanor in front of him, Jas once again believed her.
Jas Campbell had to work hard to find the person responsible for guarding Benjamin Forest and managed to arrange a eting for the Baker mother and daughter with Benjamin Forest.
Sophie Baker was a public figure, and with her currently in the lilight, paparazzi were a common sight around her. She had to disguise herself thoroughly, and with the help of soone Jas Campbell hired to shake off the paparazzi, they finally reached the Detention Center where Benjamin Forest was being held.
Ian Foster’s case involved a wide range of persons, and so of the unconvicted associates were scattered in different Detention Centers.
Benjamin Forest was kept in a Detention Center in the West City District of Boston, and Jas Campbell had to make a great effort and use so of the Old Master’s connections to arrange for the mother and daughter to et Benjamin Forest.
“This way,”
the guard in charge led them towards one of the visitation rooms.
