Chapter 355: 355. Nobody Trusts Anyone_1 Chapter 355: 355. Nobody Trusts Anyone_1 The anger on his face had subsided a bit, but the oppressive atmosphere around him had not yet dissipated.
Helen lendy gave Harry Hall a cold look, her face revealing a hint of mockery, “What about your precious mother, huh?”
She thought his annoyance was because she called his mother a piece of work and, with a cold laugh in her heart, held back for a while but eventually couldn’t resist saying:
“Do you think your mom is sick? Did I eat her family’s rice, or did I occupy their land? Why is she always causing trouble?”
Harry’s face was dark and grim as he watched Helen lendy for a long ti before finally saying, “My mom’s been causing you trouble?”
“What do you think?”
Helen lendy responded with a mocking raise of her eyebrows, arms crossed over her chest, arrogantly tilting her chin up, “Harry Hall, I think the most unfortunate thing is that I once dated her son. But it’s been so many years; why can’t she let go? Do a favor, go back and tell her that since we broke up three years ago, there’s no chance I’ll cling to you again. Tell her to leave alone.”
After speaking, she stepped into the elevator, leaving Harry Hall alone outside, watching the doors slowly close with a complex expression on his face.
When Helen lendy reached the ground floor, she saw Elly Campbell from afar sitting quietly on a bench in the hospital lawn, her face expressionless.
But the truth that Harry Hall told her about eight years ago must have been a huge shock to her.
Who could accept that because of so ridiculous misunderstanding, they’d been coldly treated for three years?
Helen lendy paused in her tracks for a mont, then still walked up to her with concern.
“Elly.”
She called out with concern, sitting next to her, “Are you okay?”
Elly shook her head and, after a mont, laughed self-deprecatingly, “I just find it a bit ridiculous.”
Her voice was sowhat hoarse, and in the quiet night, it carried a touch of desolation, “If he had asked eight years ago, or when he ca to break off our engagent, if I had asked him, could we have avoided all this?”
Helen lendy kept silent beside her, not knowing how to answer this question.
Elly didn’t need her answer, continuing on her own, “After all, it’s just because we didn’t trust each other enough.
“He didn’t trust , and I didn’t trust him, that’s why we’ve wasted so many years.”
She folded her hands on her lap, her smile bittersweet, “Although Adam and I were engaged, we never really interacted much. At that ti, I was studying in the United States and seldom ca here. The little I knew about him was only from business magazines.”
At this point, she laughed at herself again, “When I first t Adam Jones, I was just eight years old. I longed for Jas Campbell to show more affection, longing for him to spoil and keep company like other kids’ dads.”
“But Jas Campbell despised . Every ti I tried to approach him, I would be chased away. I wondered then if it was because I wasn’t as good as the other children, that’s why my father didn’t like .”
As she spoke these words, Elly was very calm. Even when ntioning Jas Campbell, there wasn’t a ripple in her emotions. Helen lendy knew that for Elly, Jas Campbell was now just a na, nothing more.
“I was sitting by the swimming pool at ho, crying, and then Adam Jones sat down beside , wiping my tears with a handkerchief.”
