Chapter 1422: 1422. Your appetite is too big.
At that time, every department head watched with wide eyes as their own big boss rushed out of the meeting room with a pale face.
No one knew exactly what had happened. It was their first tseeing their ordinarily composed and calm boss with such a look of panic and alarm on his face.
Adam Jones was still recovering from the shock of the car accident. He remembered the road surveillance footage that Robert Green had obtained from the traffic police, and even now, seeing her standing safe and sound in front of him, his heart had not fully calmed down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the surveillance footage, Leo Hall was seen coming out of the hospital and, upon seeing the oncoming truck, immediately pushed her out of the way, causing both of them to fall to the ground.
At that moment, Leo Hall's reaction was without any hesitation.
If he had hesitated even for half a second, Elly might have...
Therefore, regardless of what kind of person Leo Hall was, Adam Jones was sincerely grateful to him.
But his outward attitude did not display the warmth and tearful gratitude one might expect towards a lifesaver. "Thank you for saving my wife. The Jones Family will surely repay you." Leo Hall smiled and said, "A few days ago, my father mentioned that President Jones is my elder brother's biggest supporter. If President Jones wants to repay me, wouldn't he support my brother?" As he said this, his expression remained cheerful and innocuous, as if making such a request was entirely reasonable and straightforward, which suddenly reminded Elly Campbell of what he had said to her before: that he didn't care for the Hall Clan's power, and his ambitions lay elsewhere.
Because he truly wasn't interested in the Hall Clan, did that make him feel justified in his request? Elly Campbell wasn't sure and didn't delve further into the question.
It was Adam Jones who stopped in his tracks, turned back to look at him, and chuckled lightly: "You're underestimating your elder brother. I have never intended to meddle in the Hall Clan's family affairs." He glanced at Leo Hall and continued, "Besides, even if CEO Hall gave you the whole Hall Clan, your elder brother wouldn't value such a trifle." The Hall Clan was indeed lesser than the Jones Corporation by a significant margin, but it was not as trivial as Adam Jones had made it out to be.
If Harry Hall truly didn't care for it, then it only meant Harry Hall had enough assets to compete with the Hall Clan on his own.
Leo Hall's gaze subtly sharpened.
Interesting, things were more intriguing than he had imagined.
"Then perhaps President Jones could doa favor and tell my elder brother to let go of the Hall Clan and pass it on to me?" Adam Jones showed no interest in his candidness and simply said, "You're too greedy." "Doesn't my action of saving your wife weigh more than a share of the Hall Clan's inheritance?"
Adam Jones's departing footsteps paused again, "You saved my wife, and if I'm to repaylyou, I'l use what belongs to the Jones Family. I won't use Harry Hall's assets, but..." Adam Jones quirked a corner of his lips, "If I handed over the Jones Corporation to you, could you even swallow it?"
Adam Jones wasn't blustering. No matter what purpose Leo Hall had, one thing he said was true. not even the Hall Clan, let alone the Jones Corporation, would compare to the importance of his wife's little finger. If Leo Hall truly asked him for the Jones Corporation, he would give it.
Adam Jones had enough confidence in himself, built from nothing, not to be lacking that much self-assurance.
Leo Hall knew Adam Jones had this confidence; if the Jones Corporation really ended up in his hands, with Adam Jones's talents in the business world, a mere flick of his finger would be enough for the Jones Corporation to eventually return to his possession.
