Chapter 240: Madam Mother-in-law_1 Chapter 240: Madam Mother-in-law_1 He approached Jenna Clark, nodded, and greeted her, “Mom.”
Jenna Clark saw Adam Jones at this mont, her usually gentle face showing so aloofness, thinking that Adam was here to take William Campbell away.
The fact that Elly Campbell had lost the custody battle was sothing she had told her imdiately after the verdict.
Even though it was over the phone, she could hear the disappointnt and sorrow in her daughter’s voice, but that child always wanted to appear strong, never letting anyone see her vulnerability. As a mother, she could only pretend not to notice.
“Now that you’re divorced from Elly, I’m afraid I can’t accept being called ‘mom’ by President Jones.”
Her voice was soft, still as gentle and elegant as ever, but her tone held so dissatisfaction.
Adam Jones smirked bitterly in his heart, pursed his lips, and didn’t refute Jenna Clark’s words.
“So you’re in such a hurry to take William away?”
Jenna Clark looked at Adam Jones with sarcasm, her voice colder than before.
Adam Jones heard the misunderstanding in her words, and this ti he didn’t remain silent, instead explaining sowhat urgently:
“Mom, you’ve misunderstood, I’m not here to take William away.”
“Not? Then what are you here for?”
In Jenna Clark’s eyes, disbelief was rife.
Seeing the undisguised distrust in Jenna Clark’s eyes, Adam Jones bitterly smirked again in his heart.
“I’m here to take care of so business for the branch.”
It wasn’t surprising that the Jones Corporation had branches in Alaska, so hearing him say this, Jenna Clark didn’t doubt him.
Besides, with Adam’s arrogant nature and his tendency to look down on others, winning the custody case ant he could take William back to the Jones family ho right now if he wanted, and she would have no say in it.
Adam didn’t need to be so amiable and explain too much to his forr mother-in-law.
Thinking this, Jenna Clark’s expression lightened considerably.
Looking again at her grandson and forr son-in-law, seeing her grandson’s undisguised longing for his father, she sighed inwardly.
“Well, I’ll leave William in your care then, I won’t go inside.”
“Alright, thank you, Mom. Take care,” he replied.
Watching the once-high-and-mighty young man being so respectful in front of her, Jenna Clark felt unaccustod and got into her car.
As the car drove away from the neighborhood gate, the Old Lady who stayed in the car and hadn’t co out rembered the scene from before and said:
“That young Adam seems to have changed sohow.”
Hearing this from her mother, Jenna Clark laughed, “I can’t figure out what he’s thinking either. He’s calling ‘Mom’ more diligently now than before they got divorced.”
She knew her daughter well, understanding that it’d be impossible for Elly to completely let go of Adam; she wouldn’t believe it even if she was told otherwise.
In other matters, her daughter was decisive, efficient, and shrewd, but when it ca to Adam, she had fallen hard. Climbing out of such a quagmire wouldn’t be so easy.
Not long after the Clark family’s car left, Elly Campbell returned.
She parked the car and, upon reaching the hallway, saw Adam Jones holding William at the elevator entrance, waiting; her face turned slightly paler.
Like Jenna Clark, she too thought Adam was there to take William away.
She just hadn’t expected Adam to co personally for William, so when she saw him on the sa flight to Alaska that morning, she didn’t even consider this could be the reason.
When Adam saw her, his brows twitched slightly, because it hadn’t crossed his mind to take William away right then; seeing the color drain from Elly’s face, he thought it was due to the company’s matters.
