<h4>Chapter 898: To kill a chicken, why use a butcher’s knife?</h4>


    As her words fell, she didn’t wait for Melody Baker to react; she took the new slippers she had bought from Helen Melendy’s bag and flung them back at Melody Baker’s face, leaving Melody Baker utterly dumbfounded.


    And the woman who hade with Melody 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 Melendy’s tote bag and looking at Melody 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 seemed nonchnt, it scared Melody Baker into instinctively stepping back.


    Elly Campbell massaged her sore wrist and continued, "Ever heard of the saying ’using a sledgehammer 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 suddenlyughed, the corners of her lips gently curving into a smirk, like a devil from Hell, causing Melody Baker’s heart to tremble with fear.


    "I’ve been too busytely to bother with you, so I’ve let you jump around for a while, but you’d better take it easy and not rest toofortably 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.


    Melody Baker red 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 Melendy stepped in front of Elly Campbell, and as Melody Baker rushed forward, Helen Melendy kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying two meters away.


    Melody Baker clutched her stomach, sitting on the ground in agony, pointing at Elly Campbell and Helen Melendy, her face twisted into a ferocious sneer.


    "I... I’m going to sue you for intentional injury."


    Helen Melendy couldn’t help but roll her eyes ungracefully in front of her.


    "Looking for a beating with that big mouth of yours and then ming others for hitting too hard after getting pped?"


    While she spoke, she took a business card out of her bag and threw it in front of Melody Baker, saying, "Here’s my business card, feel free to sue me. Let’s go, Elly."


    Without giving another thought to Melody Baker’s ugly grimace, the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder into the dessert shop.


    "Such a bummer, going out for dessert and running into that piece of work."


    Helen Melendy 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 mncholy and disappointment.


    Helen Melendy wanted tofort her, but felt that any constion was futile and even seemed 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 tofort 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 Melendy was trying hard tofort her, and even though such constion did not help her feel any better, her heart still felt warm.
