Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1256. Aspiring high but fate as fragile as paper

Thinking of the joy clearly written on Leanne Richards’ face when she bumped into these two people earlier, Elly Campbell felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

Helen Melendy’s mishap would make this Leanne Richards the happiest of all, wouldn’t it?

She did not believe for a second that Leanne’s visit to the hospital today was to see Helen.

As for the girl beside her...

Elly had no idea who she was, nor did she know what was on her mind.

But this girl had higher EQ than Leanne Richards, at least she didn’t seem too happy when they ran into each other earlier.

Elly was not in the mood to deal with Leanne Richards and was about to walk away when she heard Leanne addressed Adam Jones,

"Adam, you’ve come at the right time. Harry is your brother, he should listen to you."

Leanne Richards straightened her back, mustering the courage to take on a senior family member’s posture in front of Adam Jones.

Hearing her tone, Elly guessed what she was about to say.

Sure enough, the next second, Leanne Richards said:

"He’s been in the hospital for almost half a month, never went back home once. With the state Helen Melendy is in now, she will never wake up in this lifetime. What’s the use of him staying here?"

Elly’s expression darkened suddenly, about to speak, but Adam Jones took her hand and at the same time, gave her a calm and composed look.

"Mrs. Hall, whatever Harry decides to do is his own choice. I’m not in a position to persuade him, nor will I attempt to do so."

Adam Jones’ expression was staunch, and though Leanne Richards wanted to retort, his gaze silenced her.

But not willing to let it go, she turned her hostility towards Elly Campbell by her side.

Thinking back to how she was ruthlessly ridiculed by Elly in front of a crowd made Leanne loathe Elly to the core.

Birds of a feather flock together; the company one keeps reflects one’s character.

If only Helen Melendy, that short-lived wretch, could pass her misfortune on to Elly Campbell, that little wretch.

Leanne Richards thought maliciously, seeing Elly with a stern face, not uttering a word, and spitefully commented:

"Did all of Helen Melendy’s family die off? Being in such a half-dead state, why cling onto my son and refuse to let go?"

Leanne Richards’ words were particularly nasty, lacking any semblance of sophistication associated with noblewomen, more like an uneducated country shrew.

Elly was already holding back anger, and upon hearing these words from Leanne Richards, her fury rocketed.

Just as she was about to speak, the girl beside Leanne Richards preempted her, saying:

"Aunt Leanne, please don’t talk like this. Miss Melendy didn’t wish for this to happen either." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Leanne Richards’ face showed some disagreement, but because it was the girl who said it, her expression softened somewhat.

Still, her spoken words remained unpleasant to the ear.

"Of course, she didn’t want this to happen. She had hoped to marry my son and become the young Miss of the Hall Family. Too bad, some people aim too high but are doomed by their own fates. Becoming a daughter-in-law of the Hall Family is not that easy."

Saying this, she even let out a snide sneer through her nose, with an expression of schadenfreude she didn’t bother to conceal.

Elly, provoked by these unrefined words from Leanne Richards, couldn’t help but laugh with anger.

The next second, her smile slowly faded away, and a streak of iciness crossed her eyes.

She moved a step closer to Leanne Richards, who instinctively stepped back, her eyes defensively fixed on Elly.

Although she had used those unpleasant words to provoke Elly, deep down she was still somewhat fearful of this little wretch.
