Chapter 36: 036. Are You Jealous?

Editor: Henyee Translations

At that moment, Elly Campbell stood by the nurse’s station, where the nurses, spotting Adam Jones, couldn’t help but lower their voices and gossip.

The head of Jones Corporation—recognizable at a glance.

“Wow!is that Adam Jones?”

“It really is him. He’s even more handsome in person than on TV. My God, I never expected to see him here. Is he here to see Dr. Campbell?”

“I remember now, four years ago, he also came to see Dr. Campbell. Could it be that they knew each other from back then?”

“I know, I know, Adam Jones’s sister, Lily Jones, was brought to the hospital for emergency treatment ten days ago, and it was Dr. Campbell who treated her.”

“Oh my, I’m so jealous of Dr. Campbell, to be able to be so close to Adam Jones.”

“What are you all rambling about? Anyone with eyes can see that Dr. Campbell and Dr. Churchill are the real item. Dr. Campbell would never fancy anyone else.”

“…”

As the nurses excitedly discussed, none of them knew that the fortunate Dr. Campbell they were talking about had once been the lawful wife of Adam Jones.

Adam Jones stood there, his expression cold and silent, his gaze fixed on Elly Campbell. With each passing moment, as he overheard the nurses’ gossip, his frown deepened.

That last sentence stoked the flames of his anger to their peak, yet he fought to keep it under control.

He stared at Elly Campbell’s indifferent expression, a bitter laugh escaping him in his frustration. “Was that pretty boy just now your lover, the one you cheated with?”

Elly Campbell had long lost the desire to argue over such trivial matters with Adam Jones. Hearing his words, she simply played along.

“Yeah, what about it? Not bad taste, huh?”

Before coming here, Adam Jones had repeatedly reminded himself to approach Elly Campbell calmly, but her behavior made it nearly impossible for him to keep his composure.

“President Jones, do you need something? If not, don’t block the way.”

Elly Campbell felt uneasy under Adam Jones’s intense stare. Her brows furrowed as she tried to step around him to leave, but he grabbed her wrist and marched ahead.

“Adam Jones, what are you doing? Let go!”

Her face soured, but despite her protests, her wrist remained firmly in his grip, leaving her no choice but to be dragged and pulled all the way to the staircase at the end of the corridor’s safety passage.

“Adam Jones, let go!!”

Elly Campbell was livid, her voice rising sharply in anger.

Before she could react, Adam Jones shoved her forcefully against the wall behind her, his eyes flashing with an intensity that was downright menacing.

“Elly Campbell, you really are something!”

Adam Jones bit out each word with a cold edge, the sharpness in his eyes so intense it seemed capable of drawing blood from Elly Campbell’s face.

“You dragged me all the way here just to compliment me?”

Elly Campbell leaned casually against the wall behind her, a slow, mocking smile creeping onto her lips.

Before she could respond, Adam Jones’s hand shot out, gripping her chin with a vice-like force. His fingertips dug into her jaw, tightening with each passing second, making Elly Campbell’s face drain of color from the pain.

“Elly Campbell, is this why you’ve always been pushing me for a divorce, so you could shack up with your lover?”

Adam Jones’s words exploded from him in a roar of fury, catching Elly Campbell off guard. But the surprise was brief—she quickly understood and a knowing smile tugged at her lips.

“So, you’re angry because of this?”

She raised an eyebrow, studying his face as if she’d stumbled upon something unexpectedly amusing.

“Getting upset over something like this… makes me wonder if you’re… jealous?”
