Even now, she was eagerly awaiting news of Adam Jones's death so she could divide her son's inheritance.
Edward Gresia looked at Adam Jones and couldn't help but feel pity for the man, whose father had passed away, and whose mother only thought about claiming his inheritance.
At this moment, Adam Jones had no idea that he was being pitied by someone he considered beneath him.
Adam had learned something about that woman from Elly Campbell as well.
He had no memory of that woman, nor any fondness for her, except for the knowledge that she was his biological mother; he felt nothing else.
If he had any memories of the time, he would feel a hint of disgust toward that woman. Now, to him, she was merely a stranger he held in no regard.
Elly Campbell had not told him about other bizarre things that Mrs. Thompson had done; he naturally didn't know that the woman had once tried to scheme his wife into sleeping with another man. Otherwise, he would not simply disregard her as a stranger.
