Chapter 277: 277. Jones, the Almighty Last-Hit Master_1 Chapter 277: 277. Jones, the Almighty Last-Hit Master_1 Elly Campbell spoke in an even tone, calm and composed, which infuriated Sophie Baker and her daughter, contorting their faces into hideous expressions.
“Elly Campbell, in any case, you must apologize to your Auntie Susan today. No matter what, she is your stepmother; she’s your elder!!!”
Jas Campbell gnashed his teeth and glared at Elly Campbell, putting on the air of a family patriarch.
“Stepmother?”
Adam Jones, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. His low voice, carrying a chill, imdiately put a touch of unease in the hearts of Jas Campbell and his party.
Adam’s gaze slowly shifted toward lody Baker, standing beside Jas Campbell, his eyes showing a hint of surprise that was rarely revealed, “Miss Baker has been promoted?”
He slightly curved his lips, his expression unexpectedly earnest, “Waiting for twenty-six years is no easy feat, congratulations.”
When those present heard Adam Jones say this, they were all taken aback, and their expressions began to change unpredictably.
Adam Jones was known for not liking to interfere in other people’s business, so his “congratulations” sounded ironically sarcastic instead.
Promoted?
Waited for twenty-six years?
Didn’t that explain everything?
The ambiguous words Jas Campbell had used to scold Elly Campbell could have left the uninford believing that he had t lody Baker after the divorce, but with Adam’s words, many had caught on.
Only half a year had passed since the divorce, and yet this woman had waited for twenty-six years. What did this an? It ant she had been the mistress for twenty-six years and might have even instigated their divorce.
If that were true, then whether she was humiliated or beaten by her stepdaughter, she deserved it!!
The faces of lody Baker and her daughter kept changing colors. If it had been anyone else, she might have torn their mouth apart, but the person sitting in front of them was Adam Jones, the unapproachable head of the Jones conglorate.
Confronted with the strange looks from all around, Sophie Baker was so angry she felt like blood would spurt out, but she still had to put on an aggrieved and compromising face. With reddened eyes and tightly bitten lips, she looked at Adam Jones and choked up, “Adam… Adam, how… how could you say that?”
“Hmm?”
Adam Jones still had a puzzled look, as if he hadn’t understood the aning behind Sophie’s words. After pausing for a mont, his face revealed a hint of realization, and he nodded, saying, “True, it’s not exactly a glorious event, there’s nothing to congratulate; sorry, I take back my well-wishes.”
Jas Campbell and his party: “…”
That apology was better left unsaid.
Was he sincerely apologizing, or deliberately making it difficult for them to maintain their dignity?
Their expressions began to shift vividly, a spectacle too amusing to describe.
The murmurs from the crowd rose again, shifting from criticizing Elly Campbell to berating lody Baker and her daughter.
“Pfft! I thought it was the daughter who was the brat, but it turns out it’s a mistress moving up in the world. She deserves to be hit. If you ask , it’s not just about breaking her fingers; even breaking her head would be deserved.”
“Didn’t you hear her daughter say she didn’t even break the mistress’s fingers? Clearly, that shaless mistress is intentionally framing her.”
“How malicious of her to break up a family and then fra the daughter. Are all mistresses so shaless?”
“Nonsense! Would any woman with dignity beco a mistress?”
“I rember now, isn’t that man the chairman of the Campbell Group?”
“Now that you ntion it, I rember too. My God, is that… isn’t that President Jones of the Jones Company??”
