Chapter 451: 451. Firing the babysitter_1 Chapter 451: 451. Firing the babysitter_1 Could the Emperor’s illegitimate son be on par with ordinary folk?
The different gazes of the crowd were upon them, and the family of three erged from the residential complex hand in hand, under such scrutiny.
It was peak rush hour, and the roads were congested everywhere. They decided to simply go out and hail a taxi.
While waiting for a taxi at the entrance, Lynn Clark returned.
“Madam, you’re back!”
She hastened towards Elly Campbell, glancing subconsciously at Adam Jones’ face. After the previous warning from Adam, Lynn had beco much more restrained. She only dared to greet him before shifting her attention away from Adam to Elly:
“Madam, my graduation thesis is almost prepared, and I plan to start job hunting after I officially graduate next year. So, for the coming half year, I can look after William with peace of mind.”
Elly, seeing Lynn’s enthusiasm, couldn’t figure out how to voice her decision to dismiss her.
Although Lynn harbored so fantasies about Adam, it was undeniable that she had indeed taken very good care of William.
Telling Lynn now that she was worried she might harm William in the future, hence the dismissal, made it impossible for her to utter the words.
Thus, she could only grit her teeth and search for an excuse, only to hear Adam say:
“That won’t be necessary, you’ve been dismissed.”
Upon hearing Adam’s words, Lynn’s face turned pale, and she looked up sharply at Elly, her eyes quickly reddening.
“Madam, is it… is there sothing I did wrong? Why… why do you want to dismiss ?”
Was it simply because she liked Mr. Jones?
Just because they were divorced, did that an no other woman was allowed to like her ex-husband?
To dismiss her for such a reason was utterly laughable.
She had so generously claid she wouldn’t interfere with her private affairs, yet when Lynn admitted she liked Mr. Jones, Elly started to get upset?
Ha! How utterly hypocritical.
“No, you’ve done nothing wrong…”
Elly was about to explain, but Adam forcefully cut her off.
“It’s my decision to dismiss you. As for the reason, I think you should know.”
Adam’s eyes narrowed impatiently, “We will double your pay as per the employnt contract, and you may leave now.”
Lynn looked at Adam with trembling lips, taking in the forcefulness and the ruthlessness in his gaze as he spoke each word.
“Mr. Jones, I’ve explained to you, I haven’t…”
“Whether you have or not is irrelevant. What’s important is that I want to dismiss you. Do you understand?”
Adam interrupted Lynn impatiently. At that mont, the taxi they had called arrived, and he quickly took Elly and their son into the cab, without giving Lynn another glance.
Watching the car pull away before her, a flash of resentnt quickly passed through the depths of Lynn’s eyes.
With the weekend nearing, the shopping district was especially crowded with people out shopping and dining. Once the three had alighted from the cab, Adam promptly took hold of Elly’s hand and, with his other arm holding William, he explained with a smile when Elly glanced sideways:
“There are too many people here; I’m afraid you two might get lost.”
Elly: “…”
Without waiting for her to speak, Adam, holding her hand and carrying their son, entered the mall directly across the street.
This wasn’t the first ti the family of three went out together; the last ti had been several months ago during Christmas Day, where they had visited a nearby amusent park.
But this ti, both Adam and Elly felt that William was much happier than before; even though he had been to this mall many tis, he still found it very exciting.
