Helen lendy couldn’t stand her overly flattering manner, which was downright creepy. She nodded at her with indifference and then looked at Adrian Richards and his wife.
Still, she politely greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt."
Adrian Richards and his wife were shocked and quickly nodded back.
Helen lendy hadn’t formally interacted with them before, but given they’d raised such a harsh daughter like Shannon Richards, they probably weren’t good people.
However, the guests had co, and she had to maintain surface-level politeness.
As long as they weren’t creating trouble, she’d offer them a good face.
Let’s just consider it for her husband’s sake.
Adrian Richards couldn’t be too enthusiastic towards Helen lendy; such social pleasantries naturally fell to Lady Richards.
After saying hello, Lady Richards warmly approached, taking Helen lendy’s hands and sizing her up, softly saying:
"Helen is getting prettier every ti I see her; she seems even prettier than the last ti."
It’s just rainbow praise; it doesn’t cost anything to give.
As for Helen lendy, she was left awkward by the complints, managing only a weak smile as she welcod them into the house.
"Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat."
Harry Hall went over to make a few cups of coffee to serve them.
Though aware they would never go to the temple for nothing, they didn’t overlook basic hospitality.
To get close to Helen lendy, Shannon Richards eagerly sat beside her after her parents took their seats.
Feeling her intentionally drawing near, Helen lendy felt uncomfortable and subtly shifted a bit away, giving her a slight glance.
Shannon Richards didn’t notice her reluctance and continued enthusiastically, saying:
"Cousin-in-law, what’s that perfu you’re wearing? It slls so good; I want to buy it too."
Helen lendy heard her obvious flattery, smiled, raised her arm to sniff it, and replied:
"I’m not wearing perfu; it’s probably the scent of the laundry detergent."
Shannon Richards’ ingratiating smile suddenly stiffened, and clear embarrassnt appeared on her face.
But quickly, she adjusted her expression and awkwardly smiled, saying:
"So that’s the sll of detergent, it’s surprisingly pleasant; I’ll have my maid switch to that brand at ho too."
Helen lendy responded with a polite smile but didn’t pursue her comnt.
Shannon Richards felt a bit embarrassed inside, giving Helen lendy a dirty look in her mind, but kept her smile plastered on her face.
Harry Hall didn’t have the patience for their Tai Chi and straightforwardly asked:
"Uncle, is there sothing you need from today?"
Adrian Richards’ smile faded slightly upon hearing this, knowing Harry Hall didn’t have ti to waste. So he didn’t beat around the bush.
He sighed and said, "Uncle heard that the company in New Horse closed down, and it was all because of you."
He looked at Harry Hall, showing no bla on his face toward him; instead, he seed sowhat resigned and weary.
Harry Hall raised an eyebrow casually without denying it, showing he didn’t care even if Adrian Richards knew.
Adrian Richards continued:
"Harry, Uncle just found out your mother is so muddle-headed, unable to live a good life without creating conflict. But, Harry, one must be reasonable; your mother is an adult. Uncle can’t control her actions, but you can’t let what she does affect Uncle; that wouldn’t be fair to Uncle, would it?"
