Chapter 1272: 1272. Jenna Clark found it
She wanted to defend herself, but seeing Adam Jones’s increasingly ugly expression, her defensive words reached her lips, but she was too scared to swallow them back.
Adam Jones forced himself to calm down, looked at the secretary, and tried to speak in a gentle tone:
“Think about it carefully, did CEO Campbell say anything else?”
If it really had sothing to do with his mother-in-law’s case, even if Elly was in a rush to leave and it wasn’t convenient for her to contact him directly, she would certainly have left so clue for him.
Although he thought so, Adam worried that Elly’s stress disorder triggered by Helen lendy’s stabbing had not yet healed, and with the sudden disappearance of her mother-in-law, she might no longer have enough ability to think.
If the other party used her mother-in-law to blackmail her, she would definitely comply.
The more Adam thought about it, the more uneasy he beca.
Fortunately, after Adam had asked, the secretary rembered the words Elly left behind when she departed—
“CEO Campbell said she had an urgent matter to attend to, and if you co looking for her, wait for her by the office desk.”
“By the office desk?”
Adam Jones caught onto this unusual phrase with extre precision.
The secretary understood what Adam ant and nodded, emphasizing:
“I also felt that CEO Campbell’s words were a bit strange at the ti, but she indeed said that…”
Before the secretary could finish speaking, Adam Jones quickly walked towards Elly Campbell’s office.
He arrived at Elly Campbell’s office desk, which didn’t have many items on it except for a few files she was looking through, so stationery, a business card holder, and others.
On the desk, there was also a piece of white paper with a rather crudely drawn symbol on it.
Adam Jones recognized this symbol.
During the winter break, Elly’s cousin, Mark Campbell, had developed a new ga, with a storyline where the protagonist moves up from a street thug to the position of a martial arts sect leader.
In the middle of the ga, there was a copy where the protagonist created a secret signal.
After William Campbell and Mark Campbell played that ga, he also clamored to join them in the ga.
The Jones family’s estate was vast, with a private orchard and swimming pool, and after William Campbell was brought back to the Jones residence, Adam even specially had a private amusent park built on the grounds of the Jones estate.
This symbol was created by William Campbell, and their family had played it several tis at the Jones residence.
Now, this symbol showing up in her office and her ssage through the secretary clearly wasn’t for him to co over for a ga.
Adam Jones frowned deeply.
The Jones estate, no matter how large, could not be compared to an entire city; finding the marks left by Elly Campbell would certainly not be as easy as within the Jones property.
He tried calling Elly several tis but could not get through, which made him even more anxious.
He imdiately returned to the Jones residence, ready to assemble a team to look for Elly, only to find out that Jenna Clark had been found.
She was thrown onto a vacant lot near the Jones residence.
Her clothes were covered in blood, which seed frightening, but she had only suffered minor abrasions.
The blood on the clothes was not Jenna’s but was from pig’s blood that had been splashed all over her.
“Grandmother, please take care of my mother-in-law; I need to go find Elly.”
Adam Jones didn’t have the ti to inquire about Jenna Clark’s condition; while continuing to call Elly, he arranged for a few forr rcenaries who had worked in Africa to follow the clues left by Elly to find her.
rcenaries are accustod to carrying out missions deep into enemy territory, and their reconnaissance capabilities are typically more professional than others.
