Chapter 1558: 1558. Words that condemn the heart
Leanne Richards’ words were harsh, each one sharper than the last, as if she was determined to trample Elly Campbell into the dirt forever.
"I’ve already explained it to you, just mull it over yourself."
Though her words were venomous enough, Leanne still felt unsatisfied, as if she hadn’t done her best when she left the hospital room.
Elly Campbell had just arrived downstairs at the hospital when she bumped into Leanne Richards, who was wearing sunglasses and looked rather contemptuous.
Leanne saw her too, and recalling the troubles Elly gave her, naturally she didn’t have a pleasant expression upon seeing her.
She took off her sunglasses, glanced at Elly, and sneered:
"Come to see your good friend?"
Seeing Leanne and hearing her mention Helen Melendy, Elly felt a chill down her spine, with unease filling her eyes.
"You went to see Helen?"
Elly asked coldly, staring at Leanne, teeth clenched.
"Of course!"
Leanne curled her lips in apparent good spirits, "It’s truly a pity, her legs ended up wasted like that, tsk tsk..."
Having exhausted her attacks on Helen Melendy, she now turned her attention to Elly.
"I mean, some people have ambitions as high as the sky, yet fates as fragile as paper. The Hall Family’s door isn’t so easily entered, see? Even God couldn’t tolerate such ambition."
With that, she covered her mouth and laughed.
The unabashed schadenfreude and the cruel, piercing choice of words made Elly’s face suddenly darken; her sharp, cold eyes swept over, scaring Leanne into instinctively backing up a step.
She’s inherently snobbish; when facing someone slightly stronger, she becomes ingratiating.
If someone’s family background is inferior to hers, she becomes arrogant, adopting an aloof demeanor.
She could be bossy in front of Helen Melendy, but she felt an innate fear of Elly.
Faced with Elly’s icy glare, she was instinctively intimidated.
But the next moment, Elly withdrew the coldness from her eyes, snorted, and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Hall says all this simply because you don’t want Helen to marry Harry Hall, right? If your desire is so strong, why don’t you talk to your son and let him fulfill his mother’s wish?"
Leanne heard the blatant mockery in her tone, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
Hah!
If she could persuade her son to change his mind, would she waste time at the hospital confronting that little Fox Spirit, Helen Melendy?
Seeing the sarcasm in her eyes, Elly’s lips curved—
"Is it because Harry Hall doesn’t take your words to heart, so you come to trouble Helen?"
The coldness in Elly’s eyes intertwined with sarcasm and grew even more intense.
Feeling stifled and slightly mortified, Leanne was about to retort when Elly continued:
"You couldn’t manage your husband in the first half of your life, nor your son in the latter half, so you seek superiority before those you deem inferior?"
Striking where it hurts, huh? Who can’t do that?
The last thing Leanne wanted to hear was others using this matter to ridicule her.
As the legitimate wife of the Hall Family, she spent the first half of her life under the shadow of a mistress, living like a joke.
Now, having finally waited for her son to defeat the mistress and illegitimate children, she imagined herself victorious, but Elly’s comment about not managing her son in the latter half of her life felt like a slap, swelling her face thoroughly.
