“You filed for divorce with the court?”
Adam Jones grasped her wrist with a darkened expression.
“I’ve already entrusted the entire divorce matter to my lawyer. If President Jones has any question, he can discuss it with my lawyer. I’m off work now, please let go of my hand,” she said.
Hearing this, not only did Adam not let go, but he also tightened his grip on Elly Campbell’s wrist, “Are you in such a hurry to divorce me because of the man on the phone?”
He remembered James Churchill’s face, the very image of a playboy, a romantic who left a trail of broken hearts everywhere. How could Elly be with someone like that?
Every time Adam mentioned her son, Elly instinctively felt a twinge of guilt and always subconsciously avoided his gaze.
And such guilt of hers easily led Adam to believe she was avoiding him because she had found another man.
“Elly!”
A familiar pang of pain crossed his heart, but it was quickly smothered by rage, “I won’t divorce you. Get that out of your mind. As for James Churchill and your illegitimate child, I have plenty of ways to make them disappear.”
Illegitimate child?
Elly Campbell’s face changed, completely ignoring the mention of James Churchill from Adam’s words. At that moment, she was shocked by the term “illegitimate child.”
Was the “illegitimate child” Adam was talking about William Campbell?
Did he… did he know she had a child?
If he knew about the child’s existence, he would sooner or later find out that William was his son. She feared she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.
Whenever Adam mentioned that child, Elly always showed that same guilty conscience and subconsciously evaded his gaze, which further convinced Adam that Elly felt guilty because she was carrying another man’s child during their marriage.
Rage started to spread uncontrollably, and with it, the loss and pain in his heart were driven away.
His hand captured her defiant jaw, forcing her to look directly at him. His eyes, usually unfathomable, were now filled with cold fury, “Do you hear me?”
Elly Campbell was pinched painfully, but she just looked at him coolly, stubbornly refusing to bow down and compromise.
“Adam Jones, I’ve wasted three years of my life with you. If… if there was even a shred of lingering feelings for you, I wouldn’t be divorcing you. Now that I am determined to divorce, it means that for the rest of my life, even in death, I will never be with you, Adam Jones!”
Her gaze was filled with loathing, especially with the last sentence, which she spat out between clenched teeth.
Adam’s heart was cruelly pierced by her words. The way she looked at him was like a sharp sword thrust into his chest, so resolute, without a hint of mercy.

The strength in his hand unwittingly relaxed, and Elly Campbell took the opportunity to sweep his hand away, her eyes just as cold as his.
“Also, don’t keep dragging others into this marriage that’s only a shell of what it was, looking for excuses. Even without James Churchill, this marriage of ours would be over,” she declared.
Her determined and aggressive gaze made Adam feel a hint of helplessness. Just like that, she looked at him, leaving him nowhere to hide, “Adam Jones, four years ago, the moment you brought Sophie Baker to humiliate me, any possibility between us was destroyed.”
With that, her gaze coldly swept over his face, and then she walked away with long strides.
