Chapter 467: 467. Daughter’s beauty is the original sin_1

In the simplest terms, a woman’s beauty can sometimes be an original sin, and Elly Campbell’s beauty had become an unforgivable great sin.

Now, seeing her get out of Adam Jones’s car, those who didn’t recognize Adam were fine, but those who did felt even worse.

Even if she were a mistress, she would be Adam Jones’s mistress.

Just this point alone was enough to make people feel sour.

Everyone watching the scene was stunned, but it was William Campbell’s class teacher who first came to her senses, feeling a sudden panic upon learning that William’s father was indeed Adam Jones.

Elly Campbell recognized William’s homeroom teacher and walked straight towards her.

"Miss Davis."

Shaken from her initial shock, Miss Davis nodded to Elly and then looked at Adam, who was holding William, and said with forced composure,

"Mr. Jones never came to the kindergarten before; I had no idea you were William’s father."

Hearing this, the cool look on Adam Jones’s face sank down a notch.

"My mother-in-law told me that my son got into a fight with a classmate at kindergarten yesterday, and my son doesn’t hit people without good reason, so I wanted to come and ask what exactly happened?"

Adam’s tone wasn’t harsh, but his expressionless face and slightly narrowed eyes involuntarily invoked a primal sense of fear in people.

And the words "my mother-in-law" in Adam’s statement were enough to let everyone know that the woman by his side was not his mistress but the legitimate Mrs. Jones.

At this moment, coincidentally, two parents were passing by with a child who still had bruises on his face. Hearing Adam’s words, they trembled.

Miss Davis felt her heart drumming at Adam’s question. Although she had told William’s grandmother that she was unaware of the actual cause, she did in fact know the truth.

It was only a matter of catering to the parents of a child named Xiao Ming that she deliberately concealed the truth about the fight, and to outsiders, the fault seemed to lie primarily with William.

"Well, Mr. Jones, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Feeling uneasy, Miss Davis glanced at Xiao Ming’s equally anxious parents standing behind Mr. and Mrs. Jones and felt an irritation brewing within her.

If it weren’t for these two, she wouldn’t be questioned by Adam Jones now.

Although Adam’s tone wasn’t heavy, she could clearly sense the displeasure in his words.

Adam Jones’s son being bullied at school was no small matter.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Adam laughed, but his laugh was like that of Lord Yama from Hell, causing people’s hearts to involuntarily tremble again.

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, then it needs to be explained clearly. I’m usually busy with work and seldom pay attention to my son’s matters, but I find it incredible that he would hit someone at kindergarten."

Upon hearing Adam’s words, Xiao Ming’s parents thought he was feeling remorseful for his son’s actions and were secretly pleased.

The couple exchanged a glance, quickly brought their son, who William had beaten black and blue, forward to meet Adam.

"Mr. Jones is being too harsh; it’s inevitable for children to have rough-and-tumble play, it’s nothing to worry about."

While they said this, they subtly pushed their son in front of Adam, so he could see clearly what condition William had left Xiao Ming in.

They saw an opportunity to curry favor with Adam while he was in self-reproach.

If they could gain even a small favor from Mr. Jones, it would be a great fortune for them.
