As her heart ached, her envy toward Adam Jones's limitless doting on Elly Campbell deepened.
She knew that even to prove Elly Campbell's innocence, Adam Jones didn't need to do this. His extravagant spending was solely because his wife was being accused and he wanted to defend her publicly.
Thinking about it, Sophia Green felt so sour as if her internal organs were corroded by vinegar.
She stared intently at Adam's face. He seemed to have no interest in the antiques. Even when Jeny Chapman was explaining the origins of the antiques to everyone, he was listening indifferently, showing no expression of amazement.
Rather, occasional gasps of astonishment were heard from others, both marveling at George Parker's tactics and admiring Adam Jones for his bold and confident lavish spending.
Yet when Jeny Chapman announced the prices, Adam didn't even blink. Tens of millions sounded to him as insignificant as mere cents.
There's no comparison; comparisons could make one spit blood.
