Chapter 167: 167. Full of Malicious Speculation_1

——Adam Jones isn’t even married, where did the child come from, a coincidence that he looks alike?

——Just because he’s not married doesn’t mean the child can’t be illegitimate, right? With what Adam Jones is worth, wouldn’t finding a mistress be a piece of cake?

——I saw this father and son yesterday at XX amusement park, the child’s mother is very pretty too, they looked just like a family of three.

——You guys should stop guessing, I was standing right next to the child’s mom at the time and I asked her myself, she said that wasn’t Adam Jones, just someone who looked like him.

——The person above must be a kid, so naive, you believed that? As if a mistress would let you know.

——The person above, you’re the funny one, calling someone a mistress without even knowing them, you talk so bitterly, and it’s not even certain that the man is Adam Jones; and even if it is Adam, are you just jealous because you can’t be Adam Jones’ mistress?

...

Elly Campbell couldn’t bear to keep reading, these were some of the milder comments, with many that were simply unsightly, alleging that William Campbell is an illegitimate child, that she was Adam Jones’ kept mistress. In short, any despicable comment you could imagine was there.

"CEO Campbell?"

Seeing Elly Campbell’s face grow increasingly gloomy, the secretary guessed that the child must really be William Campbell, and the man holding William... wasn’t that President Jones?

Did CEO Campbell refuse to cooperate with Jones Corp because there was bad blood between her and President Jones?

Was CEO Campbell really President Jones’s mistress?

No, no, that couldn’t be right, CEO Campbell isn’t short of money. Besides, if she truly were President Jones’s mistress, why would she refuse to work with him?

The secretary’s inner gossip fire blazed stronger, almost asking outright but she managed to hold back.

"Of course, it’s not William, go ahead with your work, don’t get involved."

Even though Elly Campbell denied it, the secretary could tell from her grim expression that the person in the photo was definitely William Campbell, she didn’t ask any further and left with her tablet.

On the other side, as soon as the Hot Search came out, Adam Jones received a call from Robert Green.

All sorts of comments flooded the internet, some said the man wasn’t him, others said the child’s mother was his mistress and the child was born out of wedlock. There were also speculations that the child was his and his wife’s, but such comments were few and quickly submerged.

Comments suggesting William Campbell was an illegitimate child made up about eighty to ninety percent of them, many filled with malice.

Adam Jones’s face darkened. He had considered bringing his son back to the Jones family in a rightful manner, but he had never intended for the child to enter the public eye, especially not in this manner.

He made a call to Robert Green, "Get someone to pull off the Hot Search, delete all topics related to William online."

"Yes, President."

After hanging up, Robert Green began to deal with the matter.

The response from Jones Corp was swift, and though the story of Adam Jones’s illegitimate child had spread rapidly, it was quickly contained by the astonishing efficiency of the Jones Corporation.

When people went online to search for related topics, they could hardly find a thing, which showed the reach of Jones Corp’s influence.

Even though the topic was pulled off, many had seen it early in the morning and had saved the photo.

"William, is this photo really you?"

Lynn Clark showed the downloaded photo on her phone and asked William Campbell.

"It’s me, yeah, I went to the amusement park with Mom and Dad yesterday. Huh? Auntie, how do you have a photo of that, were you at the amusement park too?"
