Chapter 201: 201. That’s really too bad_1

"Lynn."

She took a deep breath and called Lynn Clark over.

"Madam."

Lynn Clark had been feeling depressed lately. Ever since the day she had given Adam Jones her phone number, he had never contacted her, causing her once firm confidence to gradually crumble.

"I will be going back to Boston for a few days. I will send William to stay with my mother, so you can take a few days off. There’s no need for you to come over."

Lynn knew that Adam Jones was in Boston. Hearing that William would be returning to Boston, she immediately thought of Adam and tentatively asked, "Madam, William has been talking about wanting to see Mr. Jones. Since you’re going to Boston, would you like to tell Mr. Jones to come and see the child?"

As she spoke, fearing Elly Campbell might suspect her of having ulterior motives, she quickly added, "The child is still young, and it would be better to have his father around."

Elly Campbell looked at Lynn’s face, full of sympathy for William, and stared at her for a long time, making Lynn feel somewhat uneasy, "Madam..."

"Does William truly talk about Adam Jones every day?"

"Yes... yes, he does."

Elly Campbell looked at her for a while and said nothing, only withdrawing her gaze indifferently.

Didn’t she know her own son?

Although he initially longed for the role of a father, that role wasn’t necessarily Adam Jones.

Since Elly had clearly told William that she didn’t like Adam Jones, William would definitely not mention him in front of Lynn.

Despite his young age, William was entirely like Adam Jones in disposition—if he wasn’t keen on getting close to someone, he wouldn’t waste any time on them.

Lynn saying so was simply because she had taken a fancy to Adam Jones.

Elly couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. She was still such an innocent young girl.

"I’m going back to handle the divorce proceedings with Adam Jones. Perhaps William might end up being awarded to him."

She didn’t plan to hide this from Lynn and spoke candidly.

Upon hearing this, Lynn’s face couldn’t hide the shock, "Madam, you’re getting a divorce from Mr. Jones?"

Originally when William said that Madam and Mr. Jones had registered their marriage, she didn’t believe it. So they were truly a married couple, and now they were getting a divorce?

In her heart, Lynn felt a faint trace of joy, which she dared not show in front of Elly.

"That... that’s really unfortunate."

Elly Campbell just smiled faintly, "There’s nothing to regret."

Elly didn’t say much to Lynn. Young girls always dreamt of marrying into a wealthy household but had no idea how heartless the person inside could be.

She didn’t want to shatter Lynn’s dreams and knew even if she did say something, Lynn might not listen.

On the day of the hearing, Elly didn’t bring William with her. After all, he was a child, and she feared the confrontational atmosphere of the courtroom would scare him.

Just as Elly and Helen Melendy stepped out of the car, a black Maybach slowly stopped in front of the courthouse entrance.

Adam Jones got out of the car, wearing a finely tailored, custom-made dark grey suit that accentuated his tall and handsome stature, while also adding a bit to the chill that seemed to emanate from him.

Elly’s steps subconsciously paused as Adam’s gaze turned towards her. It lingered only a half-second before moving away.

When the time for the hearing arrived, Elly and Helen Melendy entered the courtroom and sat down together. Adam Jones sat on the set of seats to her right, with a wide aisle between them.

Aside from Adam Jones and his personal assistant Robert Green, only his lawyer Harry Hall came this time.

Neither party had many people in attendance, so the spacious courtroom wasn’t particularly noisy.
