Chapter 368: 368. Jones Confidential Leak_1

Adam Jones detected the coldness in her voice and felt his heart sink, fearing he might have angered Elly Campbell again. Reluctantly, he slowly let go of her hand.

His downcast eyes briefly flickered with despondence as he watched Elly Campbell start to walk away, and somewhat frantically, he called out to her, "Where are you going?"

When she reached the last part of her sentence, Elly Campbell’s gaze turned colder, with a hint of an unfriendly warning emerging.

But when Adam Jones saw her like this, a sense of joy rose from the depths of his heart, a happiness that spilled unrestrained from his eyes.
