Leo Hall saw him silent and said:
"Actually, you don’t need to think too much. I’m telling you this not to say that it’s definitely Thomas Smith who did it, but..."
He glanced towards Helen lendy, smirking:
"Don’t you like my sister-in-law? Then it wouldn’t hurt to help her check out Thomas Smith, right?"
Edward Smith looked at his expression, full of anticipation for drama, snorted coldly, and said:
"Seems like you really want to undermine your brother?"
Leo Hall raised his eyebrows, tacitly agreeing.
Afterwards, the two didn’t continue the previous topic, but Edward Smith, influenced by Leo Hall’s reminder, felt a bit intrigued.
After all, they are both high-ranking mbers of prestigious families. Even the tiniest suspicion leads to investigation, especially when there’s a coincidence. Just as he felt closer to Helen lendy, Leo Hall told him that Helen’s poisoning is linked to Thomas Smith.
This is more than just a tiny suspicion.
Did Thomas Smith learn sothing he doesn’t know?
The Comndation Ceremony ended half an hour later, and anwhile, the banquet was ready to begin.
In previous years, Adam Jones was a sought-after figure, but tonight was noticeably different.
Although many people still ca to chat with Adam Jones, it was evident they hadn’t brought their daughters along.
Knowing that Adam Jones is hard to win over, they’ve shifted their targets.
Elly Campbell looked at Edward Smith and Leo Hall surrounded on the far side, then glanced at a certain soone ignored by everyone but bald old n, and teasingly said:
"Island Master Jones isn’t so charming tonight."
Adam Jones heard the teasing undertone, knowing what she ant.
He also glanced over to Edward Smith and Leo Hall, smiling:
"Do you want to be as charming as back then?"
Seeing Elly Campbell thoughtfully supporting her chin before responding:
"I like the feeling that everyone admires you, but you only admire ."
As she spoke, she playfully blinked.
Adam Jones was amused by her, reached out to wrap her shoulder, and whispered:
"You think nobody envies or is jealous of you now? They just can’t stand you, can’t beat you, and feel annoyed watching you, so they stay away."
After Adam finished, Elly Campbell sat in silent contemplation for a few seconds, then sighed long, "It’s becoming a bit lonely."
This sounded obnoxious, and if other girls heard it, they’d probably hate her with gritted teeth.
At the President’s mansion banquet, even though everyone had their own sches, the surface was harmonious.
After the banquet, people didn’t imdiately disperse.
At such events, those who co have unusual status and influence, making it the perfect occasion for networking or business talk.
Despite knowing there’s no chance with Adam Jones and Harry Hall, even if their daughters are willing to be a mistress, it’s not wanted.
Nonetheless, many were still unwilling to give up, trying to show their daughters before these two.
What if they took interest?
Which man doesn’t cheat?
No matter how good Adam Jones is to his wife, how long he spoils her, he might get tired over ti, right?
Without taking a chance, how would they know good fortune wouldn’t befall them?
Harry Hall is relatively easier to break into compared to Adam Jones.
