Chapter 469: 469. Don’t spoil your son_1

But these words, they only dared to say them in their hearts; nobody had the courage to actually defend someone in front of Adam Jones’s face.

These self-proclaimed prominent figures of Alaska were really nothing outside of it.

Deep down, they knew this all too well; even if what Adam said was utterly unreasonable, nobody was willing to stand up for a stranger.

Moreover, they were hoping to cling to Adam Jones’s "big tree" by leveraging their children’s attendance at the same school as his son.

Elly Campbell, who had not planned to speak up, also didn’t expect Adam to teach his child that way and she somewhat disagreed with his approach.

Although Xiaoming’s parents indeed deserved a lesson, she thought he shouldn’t teach his son like that. If William turned into a little bully who bullied others with his power, that would be awful.

Thinking this, she reached out and gently tugged on Adam’s sleeve, frowning, she said, "Don’t corrupt our son."

Adam, on the other hand, appeared quite unconcerned, believing that anyone who bullied his son needed to be put in their place.

If the other party didn’t have the ability to fight back, that was their own fault for being weak.

However, facing the reproachful gaze of his wife, Adam toned down and said in a low voice, "Then we’ll do as you say."

This quick change from being imperious and arrogant in front of others to adopting a whipped demeanor in the presence of his wife was utterly embarrassing to witness.

Was this really the legendary cutthroat, iron-fisted, and cold-blooded head of the Jones family?

In the presence of his wife, he seemed to have no status at all.

While men saw it in one light, women, on the other hand, felt both envious and jealous of Elly Campbell.

With only a bit of dirty money at hand, their own men would put on a long face in front of them, yet here was Adam Jones, a man at the pinnacle of the social pyramid looked up to by everyone, almost groveling before his wife.

It truly was infuriating to compare oneself with others.

No wonder they say that the more a man dotes on his wife, the wealthier he is; the saying really held true.

Those men who acted like lords in front of their wives and children, yet became as meek as dogs before those more powerful than them, deserved to spend their lives wallowing in the mire.

Some of the female parents present looked sidelong at the men beside them, and their faces were filled with disdain.

Elly had no idea that Adam’s simple gesture had sparked so many thoughts among those gathered.

At that moment, a middle-aged man hurried from inside the garden towards the gate. It was the director of the elite kindergarten, surnamed Drago.

"Mr. Jones, what a pleasure to meet you. I had no idea you would be visiting our campus; it truly is an honor. Please, let’s move to our campus’s reception room and discuss any issues there," Drago said.

Adam glanced at Director Drago, who was sweating profusely, then swept his gaze over the large crowd at the entrance of the campus. He frowned slightly and nodded his head, following Director Drago inside.

After a few steps, he paused, turned back to Xiaoming’s parents and William’s homeroom teacher, Mr. Gresia, and said, "Let them come in as well."

Xiaoming’s parents and Miss Davis felt a sudden tremble in their hearts under the gaze that Adam swept over them.

As Adam carried William inside, his other hand did not forget to firmly hold Elly’s hand, displaying their affection all too obviously.

In front of so many onlookers, Elly felt it would be inappropriate to forcefully withdraw her hand from his, so she begrudgingly allowed herself to be led by him inside.
