<strong>Chapter 1452: 1452. William Hall is too anxious</strong>


    “It’s a pity to fall into your hands. I wonder if, by then, your beloved younger cousin sister will still want to call you Adam brother.”


    Recognizing that Elly Campbell was teasing him again, Adam Jones lifted his hand and gently pped her on the hip, “You rascal! Are you itching for trouble again?”


    Elly Campbellughed and pleaded for mercy.


    Then, she heard Adam Jones continue:


    “William Hall is too impatient this time. I didn’t expect that as he aged, his greed would actually grow stronger. Trying to take over Harry’s shares wasn’t enough; he even set his sights on Jones Corporation. If it’s not him who gets destroyed, then who else could it be?”


    Hearing him mention William Hall again, Elly couldn’t help but think about the overly entric Leo Hall, and her brow faintly furrowed.


    Later, the two headed to the few school buildings Jones Corporation was funding for construction.


    In the mountainous area, there was originally both an elementary and a middle school.


    Though called an elementary and middle school, in reality, it was just a single two-story school building.


    The first floor was for elementary sses, while the second floor was for middle school.


    Even with all the studentsbined, there weren’t enough for a single proper ss. Teachers were even scarcer, with many of them having to cover multiple subjects.


    When Elly and Adam arrived, it happened to be recess.


    A few students were ying on the dirt ground paved with yellow y, their faces still covered in grime.


    Due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the ground hadn’tpletely dried. The children’s already tattered clothes now looked even filthier.


    At that moment, a young woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, walked out of the ssroom. Unlike the children, she looked clean and fair. Though her clothes weren’t expensive, they were tidy and appropriate. Upon closer look, her face was adorned with a delicate touch of light makeup, giving her an air that stood out starkly against the messy backdrop of the school.


    Judging by what the children called her, she should be the teacher here.


    Although Anta Baker was impoverished, the scenery—lush greenery, abundant trees, and air rich with negative ions—had nourished her skin remarkably well.


    Her makeup appeared refined and wless, striking the perfect bnce without seeming overly done.


    The female teacher noticed them at this point. Unlike the locals in the mountain vige, the couple’s clothing was clearly much more elegant.


    Seeing the two of them, the teacher paused for a moment, then walked toward them with a somewhat curious air. “May I ask who you two are?”


    “We’re here in the mountains to work on infrastructure projects and thought we’d stop by to check things out,” Elly Campbell replied with a smile.


    The teacher nodded knowingly and said with a smile:


    “I heard from the Vige Chief that a few businessmen donated a couple of school buildings for the children. The kids are all very happy.”


    Elly cast a yful nce at a certain someone beside her, but she didn’t bother to reveal the donor’s identity explicitly. Instead, she nodded lightly and said:


    “As long as the children are happy, that’s what matters.”


    While answering, Elly kept her eyes on the teacher in front of her and asked:


    “Are you the teacher here?”


    “Yes, I came herest year as part of a volunteer teaching program. Very few teachers are willing to work in ces like this, so I have to take on a few more subjects myself. But my abilities are limited—I do hope the government can send more teachers and improve education here.”


    As she spoke, the female teacher gave a sigh.


    “It takes real dedication to teach in such underprivileged areas. You’re truly an admirable teacher,” Elly Campbell sincerelyplimented, which made the young woman look a little self-conscious.


    “You’re too kind. Honestly, I didn’t really want toe at first. I just thought teaching here would give me a bit of fame and recognition. But after spending time with the children, I’ve grown so attached that I don’t want to leave now.”


    As she spoke, she even yfully stuck out her tongue, looking a bit embarrassed.
