Not just the people around her, even Elly Campbell herself noticed something was wrong.
She cried and sniffled as she said, "You... you wait, next month's, the month after next's living expenses... all... all have been advanced."
Adam Jones was amused by her antics, and while holding her, he coaxed:
"Alright, alright, alright, no more living expenses needed, it's all yours, let's save it for our son's wedding."
Elly had no idea what was happening to her. Clearly, she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't stop no matter how hard she tried.
She couldn't remember how long Adam coaxed her before her emotions finally calmed down.
Those who had been cheering Adam on now came to tease her one by one.
Others spoke politely, but Lily Jones directly said:
"Just my brother, with his outdated, straight-guy proposal, made you cry like this, don't you have any self-worth?"
Lily's face full of disdain earned her a cold, warning look from Adam Jones.
