TimeNovelChapter 1452: 1452. William Hall is too anxious "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 slapped her on the hip, "You rascal! Are you itching for trouble again?" Elly Campbell laughed 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 eccentric 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough called an elementary and middle school, in reality, it was just a single two-story school building.
The first floor was for elementary classes, while the second floor was for middle school.
Even with all the students combined, there weren't enough for a single proper class. 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 playing on the dirt ground paved with yellow clay, their faces still covered in grime.
Due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the ground hadn't completely 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 classroom. 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 Atlanta 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 flawless, striking the perfect balance without seeming overly done.
The female teacher noticed them at this point. Unlike the locals in the mountain village, 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 Village Chief that a few businessmen donated a couple of school buildings for the children. The kids are all very happy." Elly cast a playful glance 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 chere last year as part of a volunteer teaching program. Very few teachers are willing to work in places like this, so I have to take on a E 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 sincerely complimented, which made the young woman look a little self-conscious.
"You're too kind. Honestly, I didn't really want to cat first. I just thought teaching here would givea bit of fand recognition. But after spending twith the children, I've grown so attached that I don't want to leave now." As she spoke, she even playfully stuck out her tongue, looking a bit embarrassed.
