James Campbell’s expression changed, and before he could speak, Elly Campbell continued, “I’m just curious, if you were to take issue with me, how would you plan on dealing with me?”
“You…”
James Campbell’s face darkened, his least favorite thing was Elly Campbell’s confident and fearless demeanor, as if she didn’t care about anyone else.
If she wasn’t his daughter, how dare she be so bold and righteous?
At this moment, James Campbell seemed to have forgotten what exactly had allowed him to become a well-known figure in the business community.
Elly Campbell didn’t want to waste time on this matter with James Campbell; she turned to leave but then heard his sinister voice from behind her—

“William Campbell is Adam Jones’s son, right?”
Elly Campbell’s footsteps suddenly halted; clearly, James Campbell’s words had successfully impacted her.
He slightly raised an eyebrow, appearing smug; he knew that Elly Campbell always had a weakness.
As long as he had her weakness in hand, why fear her refusal to compromise?
Elly Campbell turned to look at him; it was not surprising to her that James Campbell recognized that William Campbell was Adam Jones’s son. Little William, though only three years old now, had facial features that were almost a carbon copy of Adam Jones’s.
Not just James Campbell, even a stranger seeing William could likely link him to Adam Jones.
Therefore, Elly Campbell had no intention of hiding anything from James Campbell; instead, she was curious about what he intended to do by bringing up William.
“So what?”
“You’ve been back for so long and never let Adam Jones know about William’s existence; it seems you are afraid Adam Jones will come to claim William, aren’t you??”
A smirk appeared on James Campbell’s face.
Elly Campbell was momentarily stunned. She had long expected James Campbell had no good intentions but didn’t think he would use this to threaten her.
Seeing Elly Campbell silent, the smugness on James Campbell’s face became even more evident, “Let’s make a deal. You persuade the Old Master to let Sophie into the Campbell Family, and I won’t tell Adam Jones about William’s existence. How about that?”
Elly Campbell looked at James Campbell and, after a long moment, his shamelessly outrageous request made her laugh.
Seeing her reaction, James Campbell’s brow furrowed, “What’s so funny?”
“If you want to tell Adam Jones, just go ahead and tell him. William is Adam Jones’s legitimate son. What do you think I’m afraid of?”
Watching the look of astonishment on James Campbell’s face, her smile grew, “Adam Jones knowing about William’s existence will only lead to him taking him back; perhaps it could even improve my marriage with him. I’m actually worried for you, CEO Campbell. Your precious illegitimate daughter is so intent on marrying Adam Jones; I wonder if she’ll still have a chance?”
She looked at the changing expression on James Campbell’s face with disdain, “If CEO Campbell doesn’t mind doing me this great favor, then by all means go ahead. When Sophie Baker comes crying to you that her perfect marriage opportunity was ruined, don’t blame me for it.”
James Campbell had always wanted Sophie Baker to marry Adam Jones; who knew how much effort he had put into that. Could he really willingly hand Adam Jones back to her?
“Plus, if the Old Lady of the Jones Family finds out she has a great-grandson, your illegitimate daughter shouldn’t even dream of stepping into the Jones Family’s house, let alone marrying into it.”
“You… Elly Campbell, you…”
James Campbell was so choked up by Elly Campbell’s words that he could only tremble and point at her, the smug look on his face having long disappeared.
“Think carefully before you make a decision. And another thing…”
As she said this, Elly Campbell’s gaze suddenly turned stern, “My son is the legitimate heir of the Jones Family; don’t you dare try to trade him for an illegitimate daughter who can’t show her face in public.”
She finished speaking and without another glance at James Campbell, she turned and left.
