James Churchill’s smile froze, and those big, bewitching eyes darkened for a moment.

His thin lips, hidden behind the rim of his glass, he glanced sideways at Elly Campbell, “Are you mad at me?”

“Coming to this kind of event without telling me, am I not supposed to be angry?”

Elly’s voice was somewhat cold, the first time James had seen her speak to him with such an expression since he had known her.

He didn’t know what Elly had just gone through, but he could sense the sadness and helplessness she bore within her anger.

“I’m sorry, Elly. I was wrong this time; I won’t do it again.”

His usually nonchalant demeanor faded, his captivating eyes intensely focused on Elly, brimming with deep affection and tenderness, which she couldn’t see.

Elly didn’t speak, continuing to drink from her glass, one after another without stopping.

“Elly, you’ve had a lot to drink, stop drinking.”

“…”

Without a response, Elly kept drinking.

James’s brows furrowed, and as he reached out to take the glass from Elly’s hand, someone else beat him to it.

James was stunned. So was Elly. As she looked up, she met Adam Jones’s deep black pupils and the faint irritation they revealed.

“Adam Jones, what are you doing?”

Elly’s eyebrows suddenly knotted, looking at Adam with dense disgust and a cold estrangement.

Adam stood in front of her, one standing, the other sitting, and their height difference made Elly feel even more overwhelmed.

She frowned and stood up in front of Adam, shortening the distance between them, and let out a sarcastic laugh—

“President Jones is really domineering. Just because I said a few things about your sweetheart, you won’t even let me drink?”

Perhaps because she had drunk quite a bit, her cheeks were flushed, making her exceptionally attractive under the light.

Especially her clear and bright eyes, as dazzling as stars, compellingly arresting.

“If I hit her, would President Jones throw me out of this function directly?”

Adam’s face hardened as he pulled her into his arms, away from James Churchill.

“Elly Campbell, you’re really causing me worry.”

Adam gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger bubbling in his chest, as he kept Elly immobile by his side.

After struggling fruitlessly for a while, Elly gave up.

Adam only let go of her after they had moved away from the crowded area.

“Adam Jones, if you have something to say, just say it. Isn’t it upsetting for your darling beloved to see us pulling and tugging at each other?”

She leaned against the wall behind her, the cold marble against her slender back seeping in a chill.

It also made her more awake from the drowsiness induced by the alcohol.

Once again hearing Elly lump him together with Sophie Baker, Adam’s displeasure deepened.

“Elly, can you stop being so presumptuous? When did I ever say Sophie was my beloved?”

The irritation in his tone took Elly by surprise, and then she laughed out loud.

Her cheeks flushed red, feeling hot, but her eyes were cold.

“Adam Jones, if I’m stupid enough to need you to tell me explicitly before I see the truth, then I truly deserve to be scorned by you.”
