Chapter 429: 429. James Campbell is a child who never gives up_1

Since Elly Campbell returned from the United States, James Campbell gradually realized that he seemed to be so oppressed by her that he couldn’t catch his breath, no matter what he wanted to do, Elly could easily suppress him.

So, at this moment, even though he wished he could bite her into pieces, he didn’t dare to show it on his face.

Upon hearing the Old Master’s scorn, his face turned sheepish as he said, "Dad, I was wrong that day, haven’t I come to apologize to you?"

"Hmm, you can leave after you’ve apologized."

The Old Master knew that a person like James would "never go to the temple for nothing", if he wasn’t seeking something, why would he humble himself to apologize?

It was all for the sake of his illegitimate daughter, no doubt.

As expected, when James heard the Old Master say this, his mouth twitched, his expression hesitant, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving immediately.

"Dad, you go ahead and eat first, I’ll talk to you after you’ve finished your meal."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Elly and Adam Jones’s faces inconspicuously before sitting down in the living room to wait.

"Let’s eat."

The Old Master didn’t pay any more attention to James and just told everyone to eat.

Not only the Old Master but Elly too was aware of why James had come to seek the Old Master in such a cringing manner, and the corners of her lips curled contemptuously.

He still hadn’t given up.

James indeed had done a lot for his daughter Sophie Baker.

But clearly, James’s trip was in vain.

After finishing their meal, Elly, not wanting to see James, put down her chopsticks and went upstairs. Elly was worried about leaving the Old Master alone with James, so after finishing her meal she stayed with the Old Master and didn’t leave.

Seeing that his wife hadn’t asked him to leave, Adam, who would have loved to stay overnight, naturally had no intention of leaving so soon.

Thus, when James saw Elly and Adam, one on each side, assisting the Old Master out of the dining room without any sign of leaving, his face grew a little unsightly.

He had thought that once they had finished eating, Elly and Adam would leave, so that it wouldn’t be so stressful for him to talk with the Old Master.

Or at least, even if that detestable Elly didn’t leave, it would have been okay if Adam left. But regrettably, neither had any intention of leaving.

He held back and held back but finally couldn’t help speaking up, only to hear the Old Master say, "What do you want from me?"

James’s heart skipped a beat, and when the Old Master took the initiative to ask, he didn’t know how to start.

Or more accurately, he didn’t dare to speak while Elly and Adam had not yet left.

Moreover, with the two of them there, even if he asked the Old Master for something, they would interfere, especially that despicable Elly.

If it weren’t for Elly, maybe Adam wouldn’t have been so heartless as to send Sophie to the Police Station, considering the many years of relationship between Sophie and Adam.

Thinking this, James couldn’t help but glower viciously at Elly, but he accidentally met Elly’s mocking gaze, which made him instinctively shudder.

When he realized he was actually so afraid of Elly, he cursed inwardly.

"Dad, you should rest first, I’ll find you tomorrow."

James eventually gave up on the idea of seeking the Old Master’s favor at the moment; he had to find a time when Elly was not around.

After saying this, he turned to leave but then heard the Old Master’s deep voice coming from behind him—

"If you’ve come to plead for your illegitimate daughter, you might as well give up that thought right now."

James halted in his tracks, turned around, and said anxiously, "Dad!"
