Chapter 356: 356. This man must be my Elly Campbell’s _1 Chapter 356: 356. This man must be my Elly Campbell’s _1 She glanced sideways at Helen lendy and offered a faint smile, “I just stupidly gazed at him, thinking in my heart, how could there be such a good-looking brother, so handso that just looking at his face made feel less sad.”
“Pfft—”
Helen lendy couldn’t hold back her laughter, gazing at Elly Campbell as she forced a smile through her sorrow, and said, “So you were already a ‘dog for appearance’ back then, huh?”
Elly Campbell raised her hand and gave her a hard flick on the arm, “Asking for trouble, are you?”
Helen lendy noticed that when Elly Campbell talked about Adam Jones, her tone was still plain and indifferent, as if she were recounting a story.
However, compared to the real indifference when she spoke about Jas Campbell earlier, her voice still carried a wave of emotion when she ntioned Adam Jones that was imperceptible to others.
Perhaps even Elly herself didn’t realize it.
“Maybe I inherited my grandfather’s temperant, naturally domineering. I felt at the ti that a good-looking brother like him had to be Elly Campbell’s husband, and in the future, I would be the only one to marry him.”
Listening to her domineering declaration, Helen lendy teased, “Although you were only eight years old at that ti, you sure were precocious.”
After saying this, upon receiving Elly Campbell’s icy and warning stare, she quickly raised both hands in surrender, “Okay, okay, please continue.”
Elly Campbell seed to think of sothing, and the lines on her face unconsciously softened, “From then on, I thought of him every day, hoping he would visit my ho again, but he never ca back. I asked my grandfather, and he said he had gone abroad to study. It wasn’t until I was fifteen that my grandfather told we would have an arranged marriage with the Jones Family and that I was betrothed to Adam Jones.”
Although Helen lendy didn’t know Elly Campbell back then, she must have been so happy to hear that news, considering how much she liked Adam Jones?
Thinking so, she directly asked.
Elly Campbell didn’t deny it and nodded without hesitation, “Of course, I’ve been yearning for him for eight years, how could I not be happy?”
“At that ti, he was nineteen and had taken over the Jones Family business from Lady Jones. Back then, he was even more dazzling than when I first saw him. I heard everyone praising him as a genius. At eighteen, he completed degrees that people in their twenties or thirties may not achieve. Once he took over the Jones corporation, he brought it back from the brink of danger and reinstated it at the pinnacle of the business world.”
“Even the servants of the Campbell Family knew how outstanding and brilliant the young master of the Jones Family was. I overheard the servants saying privately that soone as worthless as I could marry the young master of the Jones Family only because of the status of Miss Campbell, otherwise Adam would never have married .”
Hearing this, Helen lendy’s brows knitted tightly, and she instantly beca angry, “Your servants sure have so nerve.”
In contrast to Helen lendy’s righteous indignation, Elly Campbell appeared exceptionally calm, “They were right. Back then, aside from the status of Miss Campbell, I really had nothing else to offer. Marrying Adam Jones, I also felt it was above my station.”
Helen lendy was at a loss for words, listening to her underrate herself.
“It was from that ti that I resolved to beco a wife suitable for Adam Jones, I had to possess the worth and ability to match him.”
“At sixteen, I went to the United States alone to study, not even coming back for the New Year. I worked hard to improve and enrich myself, just so that one day when I stood in front of him again, I would be Elly Campbell, soone worthy of being the young miss of the Jones Family, not the Miss Campbell who only knew how to sit by the poolside and cry like when he first saw .”
