So when Elly Campbell spoke earlier, he didn't utter a word, fearing that saying more might make more mistakes, which could give Elly an opportunity to reprimand him.
Elly was exactly the type who wouldn't consider that he was her father and wouldn't restrain her words.
He was afraid she would say something ugly.
Now, seeing his daughter's eyes turn red, instead of comforting her, Adam Jones instead turned around to question her, and James Campbell was immediately displeased.
He furrowed his brow, looked at Adam Jones, and said with displeasure,
"Adam, Sophie didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose, she was just too happy to see you and forgot to hold back. Now that those women have humiliated her like this, how can you still..."
The unfinished sentence clearly conveyed blame toward Adam.
Seeing Adam giving him a cold look, his dark pupils carried a distinct aloofness.
He did not show any humility because he was an elder or Sophie's father.
