In other words, James Campbell would soon be knocking on their door again.
Indeed, three days later, James Campbell did come knocking once more.
This time, Elly Campbell didn't have him stopped but let him in instead.
James Campbell's visits to the Jones Family weren't frequent—it was only when he was a child that the Old Master and his late mother would often take him and Elly to drop by the Jones Family.
But that was all decades ago. Though the Jones Family was still there, the interior decoration of the villa had completely changed.
His relationship with his daughter Elly had always been poor; in the years she married Adam Jones, he hadn't set foot in the Jones Family home.
Now, sitting in the Jones Family living room, James Campbell no longer possessed the sense of superiority of a father-in-law; instead, he seemed particularly ill at ease.
He was like a poor relative showing up to ask for handouts, with not a shred of confidence.
