Chapter 1241: 1241. Like a poor relative begging for help
In other words, Jas Campbell would soon be knocking on their door again.
Indeed, three days later, Jas Campbell did co knocking once more.
This ti, Elly Campbell didn’t have him stopped but let him in instead.
Jas Campbell’s visits to the Jones Family weren’t frequent—it was only when he was a child that the Old Master and his late mother would often take him and Elly to drop by the Jones Family.
But that was all decades ago. Though the Jones Family was still there, the interior decoration of the villa had completely changed.
His relationship with his daughter Elly had always been poor; in the years she married Adam Jones, he hadn’t set foot in the Jones Family ho.
Now, sitting in the Jones Family living room, Jas Campbell no longer possessed the sense of superiority of a father-in-law; instead, he seed particularly ill at ease.
He was like a poor relative showing up to ask for handouts, with not a shred of confidence.
Particularly since he had been sitting in the living room for quite so ti and still hadn’t seen Adam and his wife appear.
He drank cup after cup of coffee waiting, until, finally, he grew impatient.
He looked at the servant in the hall and said sternly,
“When will your Young Master and Young Miss co over?”
“Mr. Campbell, please wait a mont, the Young Master and Young Miss are bathing the little grandson and will be here soon.”
Hearing this, Jas Campbell felt his guts wrench once again.
With so many servants in the Jones Family house, since when did the couple need to bathe the child themselves?
Clearly, the couple was deliberately leaving him to stew here.
How preposterous!
Jas Campbell’s face darkened again and again, his expression shifting unpredictably as he considered lashing out in anger, but in the end, he held back.
This was the Jones Family ho, not a place where he had the luxury of losing his temper.
These past few days, he had co to see many people for who they really were.
They used to treat him with great courtesy when they were eager for a partnership with the Campbell, addressing him as a brother, even closer than actual brothers.
But now that the Campbell was in trouble.
Those people avoided him like the plague, making all sorts of excuses to reject his requests, unwilling to help.
Currently, the Campbell had no chance to turn the situation around, and declaring bankruptcy was only a matter of ti.
Jas Campbell knew that if the 55% of shares weren’t given to Elly, they might as well be thrown to the wind.
Giving them to Elly might get so cash in return, but if not, he truly wouldn’t survive.
So, he had co over, cheek in hand.
After patiently waiting a bit longer, Adam Jones and his wife finally appeared.
“You two sure are busy.”
Upon eting them, Jas Campbell couldn’t help but make a few snide comnts, which the Jones couple simply ignored.
Being disregarded in such a fashion, Jas Campbell had a mountain of frustration with nowhere to vent, and he had to forcibly restrain himself.
“CEO Campbell, do you have business with us this ti?”
Elly Campbell sat opposite Jas Campbell, her tone indifferent, without even the slightest bit of courtesy.
In Jas Campbell’s eyes, this high-handed attitude was a deliberate way to belittle him.
Bitch!
Jas Campbell cursed inwardly in rage, yet his outward deanor was exceptionally conciliatory as he said,
“I’ve given it two days of thought and agree to the transfer proposal you made the other day. I’ll transfer all my shares to Elly Campbell.”
He looked towards Adam Jones, starting to speak.
But he saw that Adam Jones did not imdiately respond, nor did he even show a hint of joy.
Adam simply sat languidly by Elly’s side, waiting for her to speak, showing an attitude that sought her guidance above all, which made Jas Campbell’s eyes ache with irritation.
After waiting in vain for Adam Jones to speak, Jas Campbell turned his gaze back to Elly Campbell.
