Chapter 898: To kill a chicken, why use a butcher’s knife? Chapter 898: To kill a chicken, why use a butcher’s knife? As her words fell, she didn’t wait for lody Baker to react; she took the new slippers she had bought from Helen lendy’s bag and flung them back at lody Baker’s face, leaving lody Baker utterly dumbfounded.
And the woman who had co with lody Baker was startled into stillness by Elly Campbell’s fierce actions, staring at Elly Campbell’s face, mouth agape, unable to speak a word for a long while.
Watching Elly Campbell calmly put the slippers back into Helen lendy’s tote bag and looking at lody Baker’s swollen face, she said:
“Do you think that just because Adam Jones isn’t by my side, I can’t handle you?”
She narrowed her eyes, and although her expression seed nonchalant, it scared lody Baker into instinctively stepping back.
Elly Campbell massaged her sore wrist and continued, “Ever heard of the saying ‘using a sledgehamr to crack a nut’? To deal with a chicken like you, I’m more than enough all by myself; there’s no need for Adam Jones to make a move.”
She suddenly laughed, the corners of her lips gently curving into a smirk, like a devil from Hell, causing lody Baker’s heart to tremble with fear.
“I’ve been too busy lately to bother with you, so I’ve let you jump around for a while, but you’d better take it easy and not rest too comfortably without knowing how you’ll die.”
Elly Campbell’s voice was very cold, and although her tone sounded indifferent, it made the onlookers around them find her quite terrifying.
lody Baker glared at Elly Campbell fiercely, not knowing if she was scared or provoked by Elly Campbell, and suddenly lunged at Elly Campbell like a madwoman.
“Elly Campbell, you bitch, I’m going to fight you!”
But no sooner had she charged than Helen lendy stepped in front of Elly Campbell, and as lody Baker rushed forward, Helen lendy kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying two ters away.
lody Baker clutched her stomach, sitting on the ground in agony, pointing at Elly Campbell and Helen lendy, her face twisted into a ferocious sneer.
“I… I’m going to sue you for intentional injury.”
Helen lendy couldn’t help but roll her eyes ungracefully in front of her.
“Looking for a beating with that big mouth of yours and then blaming others for hitting too hard after getting slapped?”
While she spoke, she took a business card out of her bag and threw it in front of lody Baker, saying, “Here’s my business card, feel free to sue . Let’s go, Elly.”
Without giving another thought to lody Baker’s ugly grimace, the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder into the dessert shop.
“Such a bumr, going out for dessert and running into that piece of work.”
Helen lendy looked at Elly Campbell sitting silently across from her and knew she must be thinking of Adam Jones; her heart inevitably sank.
“Elly, don’t let that piece of work’s words affect you. Her mouth is so vile, she must have said those things deliberately to upset you and make you suffer.”
Elly Campbell didn’t say anything, just shook her head silently and said:
“It’s not about her, I just… I just miss Adam.”
She pursed her lips, lowering her voice, her eyes and her tone filled with lancholy and disappointnt.
Helen lendy wanted to comfort her, but felt that any consolation was futile and even seed like self-deception.
But even if it was just self-deception, she still said:
“Don’t think too much, maybe you’ll hear from him in a few days.”
She held Elly Campbell’s hand, continuing to comfort her:
“With so many jerks around you, and with his love for you, how can he bear to see so many people bullying you? Just wait a few more days in peace; maybe he’ll suddenly appear before you.”
Elly Campbell knew Helen lendy was trying hard to comfort her, and even though such consolation did not help her feel any better, her heart still felt warm.
