<h4>Chapter 1477: 1477. About to end in failure</h4>


    Harry Hall didn’t stay in ce this time, nor did he notice William Hall’s noticeably paleplexion.


    Seated on the sofa, his body sank deeply into the cushions. Regarding Harry’s words, he couldn’t tell whether they were mere spection or if Adam Jones had already obtained concrete evidence proving he was the mastermind.


    If it was the former, he’d still be in the clear. Without evidence in Adam’s hands, Adam couldn’t do much to him. But if Adam uncovered that he was the one orchestrating the car ident intended to kill Elly Campbell, Adam would unquestionably not let him walk away unscathed.


    Dealing with just Harry Hall had already exhausted him; if he had to face Adam Jones at this critical juncture...


    William Hall dared not think any further.


    If it was merely apetition with Harry for control of the Hall n, even if he ended up being ousted, Harry wouldn’t do anything irrevocable to him. After all, he was Harry’s father.


    But attempting to kill Elly Campbell was another matter entirely. If Adam Jones found out, given Adam’s almost reverential devotion to his wife, would he show him any mercy?


    Harry wasn’t exaggerating. If Adam Jones got wind of this, he’d ensure William was crippled for life—never to recover.


    And then there was Anta Baker. The Jones couple’s incredible stroke of fortune was nothing short of astonishing. Twondslides, and yet they hadn’t lost a single member.


    He’d nned to leverage the deaths of others to sway public opinion and pin the me on the Jones Company’s engineering project.


    In doing so, both the Jones Company and the Campbell Corporation’s stock prices would plummet, allowing him to seize the opportunity to acquire Jones Company shares. If any funds were leftover, a takeover of Campbell wouldn’t be out of the question.


    But now, everything was heading in the opposite direction of his predictions.


    Thend he’d purchased—government policies on it remained stagnant, freezing all his funds tied up in the project.


    The Hall n’s stock price hadn’t seen a dip either, making it impossible for him to buy back shares.


    At this juncture, should Harry beat him to acquiring those shares, he’d truly have no foothold left within the Hall n.


    William Hall’s anxiety grew the more he pondered, until finally, he picked up his phone and called his friend working in urban development, hoping for updates on thend’s situation. The response he received, however, made him feel as though he’d fallen into a freezing abyss.


    What had he just heard? Thend he’d purchased wouldn’t be developed for at least another ten years?


    How was that possible?


    The Jones Company had clearly been gearing up to invest in those properties; how could this be happening...


    He refused to suspect Charles Churchill of falsifying information.


    They were in the same boat. If Charles dared deceive him, giving him fake intel, William could easily turn around and deliver him to Adam Jones.


    Just the fact that his daughter had stolen the Jones Company’s trade secrets would be enough for Adam to destroy himpletely.


    Moreover, the industries Charles Churchill had recently invested in showed simrly stagnant progress, with most of the Churchill n’s capital trapped in them.


    So, the only usible exnation was...


    Adam Jones had long been aware of Charles Churchill’s intent in inserting Jasmine Churchill into the Jones Company, setting up false data for her to pilfer intentionally.


    While publicly acting like a love-struck fool—running off to Anta Baker’s side and indulging his wife—he’d created an illusion of lowered vignce.


    From the very beginning, Adam Jones had understood William Hall’s ns, as well as Charles Churchill’s strategy.


    And so, he yed along, devising a trap for them to fall into.


    Not only had William Hall fallen headfirst into it, but he’d felt smug about it, thinking he’d gotten Adam Jones right where he wanted him. He even envisioned a future where the Hall n was firmly in his grasp, with Harry Hall driven out.


    The deeper William Hall delved into these thoughts, the colder his body felt.


    If Adam Jones had truly orchestrated this borate trap, there was no way Harry Hall wouldn’t be in on it.
