Chapter 605: 605. Lose face_1 Chapter 605: 605. Lose face_1 Elly Campbell sensed her unhappiness, patted her shoulder, and pointed to a nearby clothing store, saying, “Your birthday is in a few days, let’s go pick out a dress, it’ll be my gift to you.”
Helen lendy knew that Elly Campbell didn’t want to see her upset and obliged by putting on an excited expression, saying, “Really? Then I won’t be polite, no matter how expensive my choice is, you have to buy it for .”
“Sure. Pick anything you like, who am I to spoil you.”
While saying this, he hooked Helen lendy’s chin with his index finger, eliciting an eye roll from her.
Although Elly Campbell wasn’t short on money, Helen lendy wouldn’t really treat him like a cash cow and just buy whatever was most expensive—she finally chose a business suit that was reasonably priced and also had a great design.
“Helen, wait for a mont; I need to visit the restroom.”
When it ca ti to pay, Elly Campbell’s stomach was feeling uncomfortable, so she stepped away for a bit.
She didn’t know what she had eaten carelessly, but her stomach hurt so much that her legs were a bit weak when she ca out of the mall’s restroom.
Just as she was about to look for Helen lendy, she saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the clothing store.
Elly Campbell felt uneasy, and her legs were so weak that she walked quite slowly.
By the ti she got there, she saw Helen lendy standing inside the store, her face pale and her fists clenched, clearly furious.
“Helen!”
She walked over to Helen lendy and looked at the two people standing in front of her.
One of them was dressed like a typical well-to-do matron, looking down on others with a sense of superiority.
The girl beside her, roughly their age, was clinging to the matron’s arm, her chin slightly raised, with an attitude as haughty as the matron’s.
Elly Campbell recognized this matron—
It was Harry Hall’s mother, Leanne Richards.
To showcase her elite status, Leanne Richards often appeared on the kinds of financial magazines and TV channels that only business professionals would frequent; Elly Campbell would have found it hard not to recognize her.
In truth, the business insights she shared on the Financial Channel were laughable, and Elly Campbell didn’t understand how William Hall could tolerate his wife, who knew nothing yet loved to show off, embarrassing herself on television so frequently.
Seeing Leanne Richards, Elly Campbell didn’t need to ask to know what had happened.
Leanne Richards, always proud of her status, never deigned to look at online gossip. So, even though Elly Campbell had been featured on Hot Search a few days earlier, she didn’t recognize that the woman before her was Adam Jones’s wife.
Simply because Elly Campbell was even prettier than Helen lendy and was evidently acquainted with her, Leanne assud she was like Helen lendy, a scheming woman who used her looks to snag wealthy young masters.
The look in her eyes toward Elly Campbell carried additional scrutiny.
Elly Campbell ignored her, turning instead to Helen lendy, asking, “What happened?”
Helen lendy didn’t want to involve Elly Campbell because of her own problems, so she tried her best to endure Leanne Richards’s attitude and didn’t want to argue with her.
Taking a deep breath and maintaining her composure, Helen addressed Leanne Richards, “Mrs. Hall, as I said, this black card is my friend’s, not Harry Hall’s. I’ve already broken up with him, please stop harassing , okay?”
The fact that she had broken up with Harry Hall was sothing Helen lendy had emphasized many tis, but Leanne Richards wouldn’t believe it.
How could her son, who was such a perfect man, be easily let go of by soone who had taken so much trouble to be with him?
Leanne Richards had always looked down on Helen lendy and, by extension, disdained anyone associated with her.
