Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 1364: In 1364, the Ainley Clan’s young lady changed her strategy.

Looking into Adam Jones’ gentle brows and the deep concern that spilled from his eyes, she took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the rising anger inside her.

"Okay."

She agreed to his words, "But I want to go see Helen."

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

"Mhm."

Before they left, Elly Campbell went to the restroom, while Adam Jones stepped out of the ward to make a phone call, avoiding her.

"Where are you?"

The call was to Harry Hall, and it was picked up after just a few rings.

Adam Jones’ tone was somewhat displeased, and Harry could tell.

"Downstairs at the hospital, what’s up?"

"What’s the deal with Clarke Ainley?"

Adam’s voice deepened, clearly more unhappy than before.

Harry Hall was caught off guard by Adam’s blunt question on the other end, "Clarke Ainley? What did she do?"

"She’s been hanging around outside of Helen Melendy’s ward all the time. You didn’t know?"

"What is she doing there?"

Harry’s voice, initially confused, also took on a heavier note, clearly conveying a hint of displeasure.

"You didn’t know she comes to the hospital every day?"

"Of course, I didn’t know!"

Not wanting to say much, Harry simply stated, "I’m at the hospital now, we’ll talk later."

Harry was unaware that Mr. and Mrs. Jones were also in the hospital. Hearing from Adam that Clarke Ainley was at the hospital every day, he was annoyed.

Clarke Ainley was the daughter-in-law his mother, Aunt Leanne, favored and had created many opportunities for her.

But that woman had been decent enough, not doing anything inappropriate in his presence, so he couldn’t really do much to her.

Now that she was lingering outside Helen’s ward every day, he didn’t believe she wasn’t up to something.

Harry’s expression grew darker and darker.

By the time he got to Helen Melendy’s floor, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had just arrived as well.

He saw Clarke Ainley looking rather helplessly at the Jones couple, but when she saw Harry, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.

"Harry."

Hearing this somewhat affectionate nickname, both Elly Campbell and Harry frowned simultaneously.

"Miss Ainley, why are you here?"

Harry didn’t bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

Caught off guard for a moment, Clarke Ainley then sighed, spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness, and said:

"I didn’t want to come, but Aunt Leanne insisted I should..."

Elly Campbell: "..." noveldrama

Is this her switching strategies upon facing Harry?

A flicker of scorn passed through Elly’s eyes as she listened to Clarke Ainley continue to speak to Harry:

"You know how much Aunt Leanne wants us to..."

Stopping mid-sentence, Clarke seemed either embarrassed or felt it inappropriate to continue outside Helen Melendy’s ward. She swallowed her words and went on:

"She asked me to be here outside Miss Melendy’s ward, and by coming here often, maybe you would notice me..."

Her words were straightforward, her tone filled with unwillingness.

And her candid manner – if anyone still doubted her ulterior motives, they would seem to be judging her unfairly.

Elly scoffed internally, Helen with her straightforwardness might not be a match for her scheming.

As Harry heard this, he too frowned. Elly stayed silent; she wanted to see how Harry would handle it.

If he couldn’t even reject a woman who offered herself up on a platter, what would happen when Helen woke up and really became part of the Hall Family? Who knew how Aunt Leanne would treat her then.
