At that moment, he immediately said, "Mommy, you sit here and rest well, watch me and Daddy win the big trophy to come back, and cheer us on, okay?"
Elly Campbell glared fiercely at Adam Jones’s triumphant smile. Thinking of her knee that still couldn’t bend, she decided not to pretend to be strong.
Besides, compared to her, Adam Jones’s chances of winning were definitely higher.
As long as her son got the championship and was happy, it actually didn’t matter whether she participated or not.
"Okay, William Campbell has to cheer up!"
Elly Campbell leaned over to kiss her son’s cheek and gave him a big hug as encouragement.
Seeing the difference in Elly Campbell’s treatment towards her son and him, Adam Jones felt rather jealous.
He squeezed his son aside without a hint of emotion and, with a smile meant to please, looked at Elly Campbell, "Elly, I need a kiss and a hug for encouragement too."
Elly Campbell: "Get lost!"
Adam Jones decisively took his son and moved far away.
Elly Campbell watched the backs of the father and son, held back but couldn’t help herself, and her lips slightly curled upwards.
The following events were mostly tests of the physical strength of the adults and children, and with the innate physical advantage men have, it was the fathers who competed with their children in every pair.
"William Campbell’s mom."
Just as Elly Campbell’s gaze lingered on the intense competition of the father and son in the distance, a voice laden with awkwardness and unease sounded by her side.
Elly Campbell turned her head and saw it was Miss Davis, her son’s homeroom teacher.
Thinking of the grievances her son had suffered, Elly Campbell didn’t have a very good impression of Miss Davis.
From Miss Davis’s consistently cold attitude towards her and the overly enthusiastic tone of the phone call asking her to join the parent-child sports day, Elly Campbell knew Miss Davis was intent on embarrassing her in collusion with little Ming’s parents.
If she had come alone with William Campbell today, she didn’t need to guess how Miss Davis and little Ming’s parents would have humiliated them.
The things little Ming called William Campbell, like an illegitimate child, were most likely not only from his parents but also often mentioned by Miss Davis.
Adam Jones must have guessed this too, which is probably why he had Miss Davis go with little Ming’s parents to Director Drago’s office.
She wondered why she had come to find her now?
"Is there something you need, Miss Davis?"
Elly Campbell’s attitude was somewhat indifferent, which made Miss Davis feel even more uneasy.
Being called into President Drago’s office earlier, although President Jones hadn’t targeted her directly, she had witnessed how he dealt with little Ming’s parents and was already scared stiff.
After worrying for most of the day, she still couldn’t help but come to Elly Campbell to test the waters to see if they knew about her involvement.
In fact, she knew the reason behind the fight between William Campbell and little Ming that day, but she hadn’t spoken up.
The reason she had called William Campbell’s mother yesterday was after hearing little Ming’s parents’ wishes, planning to call over William Campbell’s mother today and then take the opportunity to mock a woman who was a mistress.
But who would have thought that not only was William Campbell not an illegitimate child, but his father was also the president of the Jones Corporation, a figure too high for little Ming’s parents to provoke.
If she had known William Campbell was Adam Jones’s son, she certainly would have taken good care of him privately, never letting him be bullied .
Now, she didn’t know what President Jones was going to do with her and was extremely panicked.
