Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 1298: 1298. That’s actually clever

She kissed William Campbell’s cheek and, seeing his lips chapped from hitting the bed frame, a shadow flickered across her eyes as she said:

"Don’t tell anyone that Mommy did this, okay? Mommy is afraid that Daddy will get mad at me and say that Mommy is bullying William."

Before Mommy and Daddy, William had always been protective of Mommy. Hearing that Daddy might get mad at her, he decisively chose to cover for her.

"If Daddy discovers it, I’ll just say I bumped it myself by accident."

Elly Campbell nodded her head in approval, touched William’s head, and said:

"You little bastard are quite clever."

William didn’t understand what "little bastard" meant, but hearing Mommy praise his cleverness made him beam with joy, and the shadow that scared him earlier instantly vanished. noveldrama

After Adam Jones left, he called James Grant to inquire about hypnosis.

If Elly truly was under that woman’s control, hypnosis would surely reveal it.

She’s trying to pose as an amnesiac to impersonate Elly, isn’t she?

He wondered if she’d dare to undergo hypnosis.

To his disappointment, James informed him that hypnosis only works with the subject’s cooperation or when the subject is unconscious.

If the woman remained alert and resistant, he wouldn’t be able to hypnotize her.

Hanging up the phone, Adam Jones furrowed his brows, his expression stern.

He had been too presumptuous, whereas, in reality, things were not going as smoothly as he assumed.

One thing he didn’t want to face was that this woman dared to appear before him unabashedly, unafraid of being exposed.

Besides her terrifying and foolish blind confidence, there was something else... Elly, maybe...

The mere thought of such a possibility clenched his heart, making even breathing difficult.

After a moment, gripping the sore spot over his heart, he took a deep breath, "No, Elly can’t be in trouble."

Upon learning that Elly Campbell was alive and back, Jenna Clark immediately rushed over from Alaska City.

Upon arrival at the airport, Adam Jones’s driver took her straight to the Jones residence.

"Adam, why did you bring me here? Let me go back and see Elly first."

Jenna could hardly sit still now that her daughter had come back alive.

Yet she saw Adam Jones standing before her with a serious face, saying solemnly:

"Mom, the one who came back isn’t Elly."

"How could it not be Elly? Didn’t they say Elly was back..."

Jenna faltered, her face suddenly paled, obviously realizing something.

"Is it that woman from the surveillance footage?"

Adam Jones nodded and said:

"I suspect Elly is in her hands, so we can’t act rashly for now."

Adam Jones didn’t mention the other possibility; he worried Jenna couldn’t handle it, and even he himself couldn’t accept that possibility.

Originally thinking her daughter had been found, Jenna deflated completely upon learning it was an impostor, slumping into a chair, eyes full of disappointment.

After a while, something else seemed to occur to her, she looked up at Adam Jones and said:

"Since she’s pretending to have amnesia, can’t we rightfully have James Grant do hypnosis on her? Once she’s been hypnotized, we can find out Elly’s whereabouts."

Saying this, a glimmer of hope returned to Jenna’s eyes, previously filled with despair.
