Chapter 247: 247. Ambition Higher Than the Sky_1

He hadn’t intended to pay any attention to this little nanny, but some people, with no real talent, have their heads in the clouds. And that would be fine, except they also lack any self-awareness.

If he didn’t make himself clear, who knew what else this woman might do to provoke further misunderstandings for Elly Campbell.

Lynn Clark’s face turned from white to red, and then from red back to white, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and her eyes swiftly reddened.

She had never before been so humiliated or had her facade so ruthlessly peeled away in this manner. She thought that even if Adam Jones was indifferent to her now, he wouldn’t be heartless enough to confront her feelings so directly and speak in such an embarrassing way.

"Mr. Jones... Mr. Jones, I didn’t mean anything by it, how... how could you speak of me like that..."

Her complexion drained of color, her voice choked with a sob, her eyes glistening with tears, she looked pitiably vulnerable.

Then came a cold sneer from Adam Jones’s lips, "When you dropped that bowl in front of Elly Campbell just now, what exactly were you thinking? Do I need to spell it out for you? Elly may be too blind to see your intentions, but do you think I am?"

Upstairs, William Campbell, busy on a phone call, suddenly sneezed.

Adam Jones had put down his chopsticks and stood up, his face hardening as he warned, "Since Elly Campbell has hired you to take care of William Campbell, I won’t interfere with her decision, but if you dare to do something you shouldn’t, I’ll make you regret ever having been born."

Lynn Clark’s face was virtually thrown to the ground and crushed by Adam Jones, leaving her nothing to do but shed tears.

Every word Adam Jones said was like trampling her dignity underfoot.

Why couldn’t she compare herself to Elly Campbell?

She was no less beautiful than Elly Campbell, a top graduate from a prestigious university, and she was not lacking in excellent suitors. Aside from her family background, she didn’t think she was inferior to Elly Campbell in any way!

Why did he have to humiliate her like this?

Lynn Clark felt both pain and hatred in her heart. Was it wrong for her to want to marry a good man?

Was it wrong for her to have lofty aspirations?

Just because she came from a lower social standing, should she not strive for better and be content with her lot?

She wasn’t willing to accept that!

From childhood, she had always been the "child from someone else’s home" held up as an example. Today, for the first time, someone so bluntly and without any warning, had debased her, leaving her unable to refute a single word.

The look in Adam Jones’s eyes was terrifying, the disdainful, oppressive gaze robbed Lynn Clark of the courage to look him in the eye.

Yet, when she thought about how Elly Campbell would give orders to Adam in his presence, she felt both envy and jealousy.

Why could Elly Campbell do whatever she pleased in front of Adam, while she, who had done nothing but express a little fondness, had to endure such humiliation?

After delivering his warning, Adam Jones picked up William Campbell, who had just finished eating, from the dining table and wiped his mouth.

"Come on, let’s go play with Daddy."

"What about Mommy?"

"Mommy is busy with work, so let’s not bother her."

William Campbell nodded, "Okay then."

And so, Lynn Clark watched, eyes wide open, as after giving her a dressing down, Adam Jones casually carried William Campbell out the door as if nothing had happened.

Ten minutes later, Elly Campbell finished her phone call and exited the study, a subtle expression on her face.

Descending the stairs, she saw Lynn Clark silently clearing the dishes and chopsticks, with no sign of Adam Jones or William Campbell in the living room, her heart sank.

"Lynn, where’s William?"
