Chapter 1261: 1261. The woman who appeared in Helen lendy’s hospital room
Adam Jones’s eyes flashed with a stern light, “Against such a family, we have plenty of ways to deal with them. As long as you don’t break the law, you can do whatever you want, okay?”
Elly Campbell knew she had been overly emotional just now, probably startling Adam Jones.
Hearing his words, Elly Campbell remained silent.
With such a family, what could she do to teach them a lesson if not resort to murder or arson?
At most, she could only make them poorer and more miserable.
Despite the reluctance in her heart, Elly Campbell had no choice but to bear with it.
The incident involving an assault by a ntally ill person had also co to a temporary conclusion at the police.
After the New Year, everyone gradually started to get back to work from their holidays.
Harry Hall, having been given a talking to by Elly Campbell that one ti, finally got his daily routine back to normal.
Leanne Richards, either due to a warning from Harry Hall or because she knew that facing a person in a vegetative state at the hospital held no appeal, had not shown up again since being reprimanded by Elly Campbell.
Harry Hall still ca to work at the Jones corporation, and after work, he would spend a few hours with Helen lendy at the hospital.
And Elly Campbell, after Jas Campbell had been ousted from the Campbell company, took charge and beca the new chairwoman of Campbell with an absolute majority of shares.
One day, during lunch break, she visited the hospital, only to encounter an unexpected person outside Helen lendy’s ward.
That person also seed surprised to see Elly Campbell there, pausing montarily.
After a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and greeted with a smile, “Mrs. Jones.”
Elly Campbell rembered this woman; she was the one who ca to the hospital with Leanne Richards to see Helen lendy last ti.
Compared to Leanne Richards’s snobbery, this woman’s attitude was quite cordial.
Nevertheless, because she was associated with Leanne Richards, Elly Campbell instinctively beca guarded against her.
“Hello.”
Elly Campbell nodded to her, “Our last eting was brief, I haven’t had the chance to ask for your na.”
“My na is Clarke Ainley, my father is Jason Ainley.”
Elly Campbell was familiar with the na Jason Ainley, a real estate magnate on par with Alva Hughes.
However, the Hall Family did not seem to have any familial relations with the Ainley Clan, so why was Miss Ainley so close with Leanne Richards?
It was not far-fetched for Elly Campbell to be suspicious; given Leanne Richards’s opportunistic nature, she wouldn’t be so friendly with soone unless there was personal gain to be had.
Likewise, that Clarke Ainley, a woman in her twenties, would be friends with soone like Leanne Richards, it could not help but arouse Elly Campbell’s suspicions.
Especially considering Clarke Ainley was currently standing outside Helen lendy’s ward, which even further stirred Elly Campbell’s thoughts.
With a sense of wariness inside, Elly Campbell kept her composure and asked, “Miss Ainley, what brings you to Helen’s ward?”
Seeing Clarke Ainley smiling serenely, she said, “Seeing Harry looking after Miss lendy personally all this ti, I couldn’t really help him, so I thought to take care of things during his absence, just in case Miss lendy wakes up at so mont.”
Hearing her words, Elly Campbell’s brows twisted subtly.
Why did it feel like there was sothing off about what she said?
Clarke Ainley, perhaps sensing Elly Campbell’s thoughts, continued,
“I’m sure Mrs. Jones can guess so of it, and I won’t hide it from you. Aunt Leanne… oh, that is, Harry’s mother, she has always wanted to set up with Harry, hoping I’d beco her daughter-in-law. With Miss lendy present, she never got her wish, which is why she has always been so hostile towards Miss lendy.”
