Chapter 448: 448. Wife got jealous_1

Descending the stairs, he walked straight toward Elly Campbell and began, "Where’s that little nanny you hired?"

Hearing Adam Jones suddenly mention Lynn Clark, Elly Campbell instinctively frowned, "I gave her the day off, do you need her for something?"

Adam Jones paused for a moment, faintly detecting something unusual in Elly Campbell’s tone, and instantly understood, letting out a light chuckle.

He raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "What are you thinking about."

Elly Campbell, hearing his tone, always felt something was off but before she could figure it out, Adam Jones added,

"I just want to remind you that the nanny has bad intentions, you’d better fire her."

Not expecting Adam Jones to say this, she was startled for a moment, then scoffed, "Oh? And what bad intentions does she have? Did she come on to you?"

In fact, she had already noticed this aspect, finding Lynn Clark’s behavior more repulsive than mere seduction.

If it had only been seduction, it might have been forgivable, but Lynn Clark always seemed to take her anger out on her because of Adam Jones, which inevitably made Elly Campbell defensive.

It wasn’t Lynn Clark confronting her that Elly Campbell feared, but the prospect of Lynn Clark taking her anger out on William Campbell when her back was turned, something she couldn’t tolerate.

The only solution was to fire Lynn Clark, to eliminate this possibility altogether.

Thinking about this, Elly Campbell couldn’t help but redirect some of her annoyance at Adam Jones.

If it wasn’t for him, Lynn Clark would still be a very capable nanny.

She was well-educated, pleasant to look at, cooked delicious meals, and, crucially, unlike older nannies, she was adaptable and could keep up with William Campbell’s ideas.

When she first had Lynn Clark take care of William Campbell, she was very satisfied.

Because of this, she didn’t treat Lynn Clark like a mere servant but rather as a young sister who had just entered society, helping her out when she could.

She also paid her a higher salary than other employers did, but that girl was too greedy.

Even if she aimed high and set her sights on Adam Jones, it was no excuse for spilling her malicious emotions onto her.

Hearing her ask this in such an indifferent tone, Adam Jones felt a mix of amusement and annoyance, "Can’t you see whether she’s made a move on me or not?"

Elly Campbell gave him an irritated look, "In this world, there are plenty of women who want to seduce President Jones, what’s so surprising?"

"Is that so?"

Adam Jones’s dark eyes narrowed, "Then why don’t you seduce me and give it a try?"

Elly Campbell couldn’t be bothered with him and turned her head to look at William Campbell.

Adam Jones, however, didn’t let her off so easily. He reached out to turn her face back toward him and said in the face of her slightly angry gaze,

"She also gave me her phone number and told me to contact her anytime."

She gave him her phone number?

Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow internally, finding this little nanny to be more capable than she had thought.

"So, President Jones has been in touch with our little Lynn? No wonder you’re in such a hurry to ask about her when you can’t see her," she said.

This time, Adam Jones didn’t speak but merely watched her quietly, a slight smile gradually creeping into his eyes, which left Elly Campbell somewhat perplexed and, inexplicably, feeling a bit guilty.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Elly Campbell frowned and asked in a lower voice.

A deep, husky chuckle emanated from Adam Jones as he leaned down to meet Elly Campbell’s eyes, his dark pupils reflecting her guilty look. He gently touched her nose and teased,

"Jealous?"

These simple three words struck directly at Elly Campbell’s sensitive sore spot, immediately infuriating her.
