Mia Brown was just waiting to hear this. Upon hearing his words, a sudden joy flashed in the depths of her eyes, yet her face remained impassive, not even letting a hint of her pleasure show.
This was a skill that Leanne Richards was far from mastering.
"Have you thought of a plan?"
"Ever since Helen lendy had her accident, Harry Hall has been sowhat distracted with the Hall Clan’s affairs. We can take advantage of Helen lendy’s near-death state to deal him an even greater blow."
Mia Brown didn’t know what William Hall’s plan was, but the ruthless glint in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine, as she roughly guessed he intended to strike through Helen lendy.
After a mont of hesitation, she asked:
"Was Helen lendy’s incident your doing?"
But William Hall just smiled nonchalantly, his hand resting at her waist gave a gentle squeeze and said:
"Am I such a heartless and ruthless person in your eyes?"
This was tantamount to denying any connection to Helen lendy’s incident.
On this point, Mia Brown didn’t harbor any doubts.
For William Hall, if it had been his doing, it would rely have been a trivial matter; he had no reason to deny it in front of her.
"Was it really an accident?"
A mysterious smile appeared on William Hall’s face as he said, "Whether it was an accident or not depends on how we look at it."
Mia Brown was genuinely confused by William Hall’s words now, and before she could ask, she heard William Hall suddenly change the subject—
"Lately, Adam Jones’s wife has been investigating Clarke Ainley."
Upon hearing this, Mia Brown’s face revealed a hint of surprise, "Does she suspect that Clarke Ainley is behind Helen lendy’s incident?"
William Hall’s smile carried a deeper aning, "Adam Jones’s wife sure is astute; to think she could trace it back to Clarke Ainley."
It was unclear whether this was praise or criticism, and Mia Brown didn’t care to discern. She was more curious about whether William Hall had had a hand in Helen lendy’s trouble this ti.
From his tone, it seed almost certain that Helen lendy’s incident wasn’t an accident.
Was it Cissy Ainley’s doing, or was it William Hall’s, or perhaps, had they both had a hand in it?
Mia Brown looked at William Hall with keen curiosity. As for this matter, there was no need for her to delve too deeply; as long as it was good news for her son, it was sufficient.
The more she knew, the more trouble she and her son would face if the truth ever ca to light.
"Helen lendy is now in a life or death limbo, not knowing if she’ll ever awaken. My sister clearly wants Harry Hall to marry the Ainley Clan’s daughter, which would be a trendous boost for Harry."
Behind Harry Hall stands a powerful ally, Adam Jones.
Although Adam Jones has not explicitly intended to get involved with the Hall Clan, if Harry Hall were ever forced to leave the Hall Clan, Adam Jones, his lifelong brother, would undoubtedly lend a hand.
If Harry Hall can’t wait for Helen lendy to wake up and Clarke Ainley keeps dangling in front of him, she doubts there’s a man in this world who could remain so faithfully devoted to a woman who may never wake up, without being tempted by other won.
If Harry Hall gained the support of the Ainley Clan, then her son was almost certain to lose.
She doesn’t need status, having her son bear the stigma of illegitimacy for twenty years, and herself playing the role of a mistress in humiliation. If she ends up relinquishing the Hall Clan after all that, what were these years of struggle for?
"I know what you’re worried about. Not only will Harry Hall not marry Clarke Ainley, but Helen lendy will never wake up either."
