Chapter 867: 867. We can’t let Professor Ford misunderstand.

Especially since James Campbell brought Melody Baker with him, and like an idiot, made all sorts of blunders, the Old Master must have felt too ashamed to face Master Clark and the others.

With that thought, Elly Campbell’s gaze swept over the faces of James Campbell and Melody Baker, her eyes fierce, startling Melody Baker once again.

"No, Elly, the Old Master still has matters to attend to and must rush back. You all stay here a few more days to keep your grandfather and the others company."

Old Master Campbell was not in high spirits and made to leave.

"Dad."

It was at this moment that a voice came from behind, Jenna Clark’s.

Turning around, Jenna Clark had already hurried over.

Having had quite a bit to drink before, Jenna was still slightly intoxicated. She had intended to go upstairs to rest but was called down by her own father, who asked her to have a proper talk with Old Master Campbell.

Hurriedly, she washed her face, not even taking the time to dry the droplets on her skin before running down.

After all, she had been calling him "Dad" for nearly thirty years, so when Jenna chased after him just now, she hadn’t changed the address.

Elly Campbell noticed Jamuna Ford, trailing behind Jenna Clark, seemed visibly taken aback, and her heart suddenly filled with worry.

She feared he might think her mother still harbored some feelings for James Campbell.

Speaking of James Campbell, Elly’s gaze subconsciously drifted toward him and she caught his eyes, shining brightly as they rested on Jenna’s face, tinged with a hint of infatuation.

Elly’s brow furrowed suddenly.

Although this man was her biological father, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was leering at her mother.

Elly calmly stepped forward, blocking his gaze from Jenna, while giving him a look of disgust.

James Campbell was taken aback, feeling slightly guilty under his daughter’s gaze and covered a cough with his hand, sheepishly looking away.

Meanwhile, Melody Baker, having been inexplicably scorned by James Campbell earlier and feeling dejected, had her full attention on him and had noticed the glint in his eyes when Jenna appeared.

Especially when she heard Jenna call the old man "Dad," she clearly saw the affectionate spark in the depths of James Campbell’s eyes.

A pang shot through Melody Baker’s heart, leaving her with a twinge of unease.

Was it possible that James suddenly found his ex-wife so attractive that he regretted divorcing her?

Melody Baker lowered her eyes, her fists clenched quietly as a dark gleam passed swiftly across them.

She had been compromising for so many years, and now that even her daughter had sacrificed so much to get to this point, she had been waiting for the position of Mrs. Campbell for a full 26 years. With her daughter in prison, how could she willingly hand over her place to Jenna Clark?

At this moment, Jenna Clark was completely unaware of what was going on in the minds of James Campbell and Melody Baker. She had come out to clarify things to Old Master Campbell after listening to Master Clark’s words.

The Old Master was the Old Master, and James Campbell was James Campbell; she could tell right from wrong, and would not take out her frustration with James on the Old Master.

Moreover, her feelings for James Campbell had gradually dwindled ever since she found out about his affair during her pregnancy with Elly.

So apart from being disgusted with James Campbell, she felt no resentment, and certainly bore no grudges against the Old Master, who had always protected her and Elly.

Jenna Clark supported the Old Master as they walked toward the gazebo in the Clark Family’s yard, talking about something unknown.
