This penniless Fox Spirit, can she afford such a sum?
Her son treats this fiancée like treasure, even if she becos a vegetable, he wouldn’t have the heart to give up. Leanne firmly believes that this money is coming from her son, Harry Hall.
Since Helen lendy woke up, she has been caught up in a series of events, and with her focus entirely on work now, she hasn’t had the ti to think about this money issue or ask Harry Hall or Elly Campbell about it.
Leanne’s words, though harsh, hit upon one truth.
There was no relationship between her and Harry Hall anymore. If it really was Harry who paid the money for her, she had no reason to use it with such ease.
At this very mont, faced with the harsh and sarcastic "debt collector" deanor of Leanne, she was surprisingly uneasy, unsure of how to respond.
"Who said the money for Helen’s hospital was paid by Harry Hall?"
At that very mont, a cold yet strong voice rang out, unwavering.
Everyone present turned their gaze over in unison.
They saw Elly Campbell walking towards them with a stern face, alongside her was Adam Jones, exuding an aura that kept people at bay.
Seeing Adam Jones, Shannon Richards, who stood next to Leanne, instinctively adjusted her appearance, while the Baker mother and daughter beside her quietly checked whether their deanor was appropriate.
Leanne felt a few instinctual twinges of fear upon seeing Adam Jones and Elly Campbell.
The shadows of defeat under Elly Campbell from previous encounters still lingered in Leanne’s mind.
As for Adam Jones beside Elly, he completely disregarded her status as an elder.
She could even imagine that if she said or did anything to Elly, this overprotective husband would certainly not let her off easily.
Elly Campbell didn’t know what kind of grievances Helen experienced at the hands of this venomous old woman before she ca in.
Just a mont ago, after hearing Leanne’s words, Helen’s face clearly showed an expression of unease.
The three won standing beside Leanne wore an expression as if watching a play, ready to help Leanne mock Helen together.
A fire ignited in Elly Campbell’s heart as she strode over to Helen lendy, placing a hand on her shoulder as a strong force of support.
Seeing Elly Campbell approach, Helen’s heart cald down instantly. She looked up and gave Elly a smile.
Elly gave her a nod, assuring her, and then turned to Leanne with a peaceful smile, yet her gaze held so aggressiveness—
"Does Mrs. Hall think I’m dead, or just think that with such a small sum, I, Elly Campbell, can’t afford it and need the Hall Family’s charity?"
If it were soone else, Leanne might have talked back a bit, but not with Elly Campbell.
Everyone knows that the Jones Family lacks nothing but money, and Elly Campbell possessed everything of Adam’s, along with a vast conglorate left by Jas Campbell.
Sotis, Leanne’s targeting was born out of jealousy toward Elly Campbell. Even across generations, she envied that Elly was so unconditionally pampered and indulged by Adam, which gave her the confidence to say anything at any ti with such composure.
Free and unrestrained.
But Leanne, having married William Hall for life, would never know the extravagance of the happiness Elly Campbell enjoyed.
Envy is always frightening; it doesn’t discriminate by age or status, and whenever soone does better than oneself, it triggers jealousy.
It’s like a double-edged sword, hurting others, while also not making oneself feel good.
