<strong>Chapter 1400: 1400. Passing the knife for murder</strong>


    Hearing this, Elly Campbell let out a dismissive “tsk” and rolled her eyes at him, saying, “You don’t have the guts.”


    Adam Jones: “…”


    However, he really didn’t continue this kind of joke with Elly Campbell.


    It was enough to tease his wife once, and he didn’t even care to think about a woman with impure intentions like Jasmine Churchill.


    Raising his hand to Elly’s shoulder, he pondered for a moment before carefully speaking:


    “William Hall has been making some big movestely.”


    Elly thought the previous topic was over, but when Adam brought up Harry Hall’s father, William Hall, out of the blue, she couldn’t help but be surprised.


    Combining this with their earlier mention of Jasmine Churchill, she promptly said:


    “Does this have to do with you allowing Jasmine Churchill into the Jones Corporation?”


    Adam Jones gave her a look, with an indescribably proud look, as if to say “My wife is the smartest in the whole world,” which made Elly’s mouth twitch.


    That proud look in the eyes of her own ind master made Elly feel a bit embarrassed.


    She shoved him gently from behind, her face blushing, and said, “What are you looking at, get on with it.”


    Adam Jones was pushed by her and leaned on her shoulder, then stretched out his hand to bring her into his embrace.


    That clingy act made Elly even more unable to look straight.


    How did she ever think this guy was as cold and unapproachable as the Himyan Snow Lotus?


    Elly looked at her ind master with disdain, waiting for him to speak.


    After Adam Jones had his fun, he finally became serious, saying:


    “William Hall wants to support his illegitimate son andpletely kick Harry out of the Hall n.”


    What does that have to do with the Jones Corporation?


    “Even if William Hall wants to support Leo Hall, he can’t bypass Harry. Harry isn’t just any good-for-nothing yboy; there’s also one thing…”


    Adam Jones paused, “William Hall believes that Harry has the backing of the Jones Corporation.”


    Elly understood why Adam used the phrase “believes.”


    She wasn’t very familiar with Harry Hall, but at least in her eyes, someone who could catch the attention of her reclusive ind master, someone he grew up with, surely had his merits.


    William Hall assumes that Harry has the support of Adam Jones. Even if that’s not the case, if William Hall really decides to target Harry, Adam wouldn’t just sit idly by.


    So, William Hall is targeting the Jones Corporation while clearing the path for his illegitimate son?


    A cold smile appeared in Elly’s heart; such favoritism from a father was indeed extreme.


    But now that her ind master mentioned it, she understood.


    If William Hall wants to make way for his illegitimate son, then he needs to clear the obstacles for him.


    If he thinks the Jones Corporation is blocking Harry, then the Jones Corporation must be Leo’s biggest obstacle.


    Her thoughts turned briefly, and she immediately had a realization.


    “Charles Churchill is teaming up with William Hall?”


    So, Jasmine Churchill is ying the role of the insider?


    Thinking of this, Elly suddenly found it hard to suppress augh.


    Putting aside William Hall for now, having managed to take control of such arge enterprise as the Hall n, he was naturally no ordinary man.


    But what about Charles Churchill?


    Unable to even secure the family business, yet still foolishly attempting to join forces with William Hall against the Hall n?


    Is William Hall not afraid that Charles Churchill will hold him back?


    Adam Jones saw the hidden amusement in his wife’s eyes and immediately understood her thoughts.


    He said with augh:


    “Some people are courting death, and we might as well pass them the knife.”


    “And this knife is Jasmine Churchill?”


    Elly raised an eyebrow.
