Capítulo 1616: 1616. Your courage to go against the current is truly admirable.

Now she suddenly stopped her and timidly said these things to her. She didn’t think she was genuinely worried about Leanne Richards.

Although she hasn’t interacted with this girl before, her first impression was already formed.

Raising an eyebrow at Alice Baker, she said, “And then? Do you hope that when I hear this news, I’ll be deeply moved and marry Young Master Hall?”

With that, she smiled gently, “You are really too kind.”

Alice Baker, caught off guard by Helen Melendy’s subtle retaliation, turned pale from anger.

Pah! She didn’t hope for her to marry Harry Hall; she wished she would get far away and never let Harry see her again.

She glared at Helen Melendy’s smiling face, wishing she could scratch that Fox Spirit’s face.

But on the surface, she still put on a facade of weakness.

People always have a tendency to sympathize with the weak. Even though she knew she had no chance to sway Adam Jones’s heart, she couldn’t ruin her image in front of him.

However, she could see that Elly Campbell was fiercely protective of her friend Helen Melendy. If she said anything to displease her, she might confront her like a shrew.

Just the right opportunity for Adam Jones to see what kind of wife he married.

Thinking this, Alice Baker continued to Helen Melendy,:

“Miss Helen, I know it’s not right for me as an outsider to say anything, but Aunt Leanne is, after all, Harry’s mother. Because of you, Harry took action against the Richards Clan. The Richards are Aunt Leanne’s family. It’s not good for Harry to make his mother so sad because of you.”

Although Alice Baker’s words were not aggressive, they sounded like heartfelt advice.

But no one is a fool; what seemed like persuasion was indeed a roundabout accusation, blaming Helen Melendy for urging Harry to trouble his mother’s family.

In one sentence, mentioning “because of you” several times, clearly implying that she incited Harry against his mother.

Elly Campbell let out a sneer, showing no intention of giving her any face, saying:

“Since you know you’re an outsider and shouldn’t say anything, yet you’re here gossiping, your courage to go against the flow is really admirable.”

Elly Campbell’s words were far sharper than her pretentious demeanor.

With one sentence, she caused Alice Baker to turn pale.

She had anticipated Elly Campbell would defend Helen Melendy, but didn’t expect her to confront her with her own words, leaving her unable to retaliate.

After all, she truly was an outsider.

Even that opening remark was just being polite.

She felt both angry and aggrieved, recalling the moment when Harry Hall mocked her for meddling, making her even more upset.

This grievance added more sincerity to her feelings.

With a pale face, she bit her lower lip, looked at Elly Campbell, but discreetly swept her gaze across Adam Jones’s face, trying to find any sign of dissatisfaction.

Yet she saw that he simply stood quietly by Elly Campbell’s side, saying nothing, but his presence seemed to silently support Elly.

“Mrs. Jones, I was just being kind…”

“In this world, there are plenty of people who do bad things with good intentions. I don’t know if you’re kind, but your intent to do harm isn’t hidden at all.”
