009. Pick her up and go home_1
Such a good opportunity, and he dragged it out for four years?
She thought she knew Adam Jones, but at this moment, she realized she knew nothing about him at all.
"Oh, it's fine if you don't sign, after living apart for more than two years, if one party files for divorce, the court will automatically grant it."
She spoke casually, not even glancing at Adam Jones as she struggled to free her wrist from his grip, trying to escape the space that contained him.
"Divorce proceedings? You're overthinking it."
Adam Jones suddenly let out a cold laugh, the look in his eyes mocking Elly Campbell's overestimation of herself.
"It seems you don't understand the definition of living apart."
Elly Campbell didn't want to argue these trivial matters with Adam Jones here. Blocked by him and unable to leave, she gave him a cold look—
"If a married couple separates for more than two years due to a breakdown of their marriage, and one party requests a divorce, the court will automatically grant the divorce. If President Jones has any objections to this regulation, Jones's legal consultants will explain it to you in detail. I am still working, so would President Jones please step aside."
Adam Jones still blocked the doorway, his lips curled into a mocking, cold smile.
"A breakdown of marriage? Since when did our relationship ever break down?"
Elly Campbell was stunned for a moment, finding his shamelessly extreme words laughable.
"That's right, there were never any feelings between President Jones and me to speak of, let alone to break down."
After speaking, she forcefully pushed him out, and Adam, caught off guard, was pushed out of the door.
Watching her angrily leave, Adam Jones's expression gradually darkened.
Even he didn't know how excited he felt inside when he saw Elly Campbell's face again.
He had thought his feelings for Elly Campbell were only disgust and hatred, but when she left without a word four years ago without any news, his life had been a mess during these four years, and he understood his feelings for her weren't as he had thought.
Even though she had humiliated him like that, she was still different to him.
Because of Adam Jones's sudden appearance, Elly Campbell's mood was completely affected by him all day.
She finally made it to the end of her shift, and just as she left the hospital, she saw Robert Green waiting at the hospital entrance, who came up to her with a grin—
"Madam."
The appellation made Elly Campbell frown slightly in displeasure.
"Assistant Baker, Mr. Jones and I are divorced, please address me differently."
"Alright, Madam, I'll take note," Robert Green replied with a smile, not taking Elly Campbell's words seriously, "Madam, please come this way, the president is waiting for you in the car."
Elly Campbell: "..."
Not bothering to argue over a title with Robert Green, she cast a cold glance at him, ignoring the black Maybach parked on the roadside, and walked towards where her car was parked.
"Madam..."
Robert Green quickly followed her but was met with a cold glare from Elly Campbell that stopped him in his tracks, uncertain whether to stay or go.
Elly Campbell got into her car and was about to close the door when a lean arm suddenly reached out to block it.
Looking up, she met those deep eyes filled with irritation, and Elly Campbell frowned impatiently—
"Does President Jones need something?"
"Naturally, I'm here to take you home."
Home?
Elly Campbell let out a cold laugh, her lips curling, "Which home? The Jones Family home? If I recall correctly, four years ago, President Jones, you asked me to make room for Miss Baker. It's been four years, and she still hasn't moved in?"
