My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538

“Hal, don‘t say that. There is no way Mr. Jones is a human trafficker.” Adina lifted the hem of her dress as she walked over. She said in surprise, “I‘m sorry, Mr. Jones. The children don‘t know what they are talking about. I hope they haven‘t caused you any trouble.”

“Mommy, he really is a human trafficker,” George frowned and said. “He tempted Melody to eat a lollipop. Only a human trafficker would do something like that.”

Alden nodded. “We have already called the cops.” Dillon remained calm and said, “Ms. Daugherty, your daughter is adorable , and I couldn‘t help but give her a lollipop. I really didn‘t mean any harm to her.”

“I know.” Adina nodded. She turned around and looked at her son. “Al, call off the police.”

Alden did not move.

This man was too suspicious. Everything about him screamed “bad guy“. Adina slapped her hand against her forehead in resignation. “This is Mr. Jones. The eldest son of the Jones Corporation. The Jones family is ranked among the top three in Sea City. How could Mr. Jones be involved in human trafficking?”

“The eldest son of the Jones family?” Alden narrowed his eyes. “Oh. Is it the Ms. Jones who falsely accused my mother of plagiarism before your sister?”

Dillon was speechless.

Why did he not know that Zhenny and Adina had such bad blood between them?

He was suddenly convinced that his appearance here was a mistake.

“Ms. Daugherty, this is just a misunderstanding.” Cold sweat rolled down Dillon‘s forehead. “I will buy you dinner and apologize personally next time. I have some work to do. I should get going.” After he said that, he turned around and left. He looked like he was running away.

The staff in the store were still talking about it. “I saw that guy acting suspiciously when he walked in, but he had a gold card, so I couldn‘t say anything.”

“That‘s right. He has been staring at those kids after he walked in. Since he was wearing a suit, it didn‘t occur to me that he could be a human trafficker.”
