Chapter 148: 148. Too much bullying_1

"Not only do I know her, but we are also very close!"

Adam Jones gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice, the image of Elly Campbell being frightened out of her wits caused a pain in his chest. He held the soft child in his arms, wanting to spank her, yet he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

The child wanted wholeheartedly to see him. How could he blame her? Besides, how could a three-year-old child think of everything?

"Does William Campbell know that sneaking away like this would worry and scare Mommy? What if a bad person took you away? Aren’t you afraid of making Mommy sad?"

Adam Jones patiently spoke to little William Campbell.

"I know, but I was afraid if I was slow, Uncle would get on a plane and leave, and then I wouldn’t be able to find you," said little William Campbell as he blinked his innocent eyes, lifting his wrist to show the children’s watch he wore. "Look, Uncle, this is a special watch Uncle William Forest made for me. It has a program set up inside, so if someone takes me away, I can press this button and the watch will connect to the emergency dispatch, and then the police will find me."

Adam Jones: "..."

Was the child so fearless because of this watch?

Fortunately, the public order in Alaska was very good. If they met a well-planned human trafficker, what use would this watch be?

When Elly Campbell received the news from the police that her child was at the airport, she was still in a daze, not understanding why the child would run there by himself.

But at that moment, she didn’t have time to think further and hurriedly rushed to the airport.

"The child is in the VIP lounge. Please follow me this way," said an airport staff member, leading Elly Campbell and two police officers responsible for the case toward the VIP lounge.

As she pushed the door open, she saw little William Campbell standing in front of a man. The man was half-kneeling, his back to her, speaking to the child.

That figure, that voice; Elly Campbell knew them all too well—her already unhappy face suddenly darkened to the extreme.

The sound of footsteps behind him made Adam Jones turn around. Seeing Elly Campbell’s pale face and her slightly trembling lips, his brow furrowed, "The child..."

"Slap—"

A slap landed fiercely on Adam Jones’s face. The sound was so loud it made onlookers gasp.

"Adam Jones, you have gone too far!"

Elly Campbell’s eyes were red, her trembling figure unable to calm down even when seeing her son safe and sound right before her eyes.

Taken aback by Elly Campbell’s slap, Adam Jones’s expression quickly turned ugly.

His deep-set eyes chilled slightly. He was about to scold her when he saw her trembling from head to toe, the watery mist in her reddened eyes. The urge to berate her was forcefully suppressed.

Her son was missing. It was easy to imagine how afraid, how panicked she had been. Now seeing him with the child, she must think that he silently lured her son over. All the anger and feeling of injustice she had accumulated erupted in that moment.

And with that, the slap fell on him.

The onlookers watched anxiously. Just then, Robert Green entered and happened to witness the scene, leaving him dumbfounded.

Seeing that Adam Jones kept a stern face and remained silent, he quickly stepped forward to explain on Adam Jones’s behalf, "Ma’am, you’ve misunderstood, the President, he..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Elly Campbell’s cold voice cut off Robert Green’s words. She walked up to William Campbell, trying hard to control her emotional breakdown, and picked him up. "Baby, let’s go home."

After speaking, without a single glance at Adam Jones, she turned and walked out.
