<h4>Chapter 1261: 1261. The woman who appeared in Helen Melendy’s hospital room</h4><h4></h4>


    Adam Jones’s eyes shed with a stern light, "Against such a family, we have plenty of ways to deal with them. As long as you don’t break thew, you can do whatever you want, okay?"


    Elly Campbell knew she had been overly emotional just now, probably startling Adam Jones.


    Hearing his words, Elly Campbell remained silent.


    With such a family, what could she do to teach them a lesson if not resort to murder or arson?


    At most, she could only make them poorer and more miserable.


    Despite the reluctance in her heart, Elly Campbell had no choice but to bear with it.


    The incident involving an assault by a mentally ill person had alsoe to a temporary conclusion at the police.


    After the New Year, everyone gradually started to get back to work from their holidays.


    Harry Hall, having been given a talking to by Elly Campbell that one time, finally got his daily routine back to normal.


    Leanne Richards, either due to a warning from Harry Hall or because she knew that facing a person in a vegetative state at the hospital held no appeal, had not shown up again since being reprimanded by Elly Campbell.


    Harry Hall still came to work at the Jones corporation, and after work, he would spend a few hours with Helen Melendy at the hospital.


    And Elly Campbell, after James Campbell had been ousted from the Campbellpany, took charge and became the new chairwoman of Campbell with an absolute majority of shares.


    One day, during lunch break, she visited the hospital, only to encounter an unexpected person outside Helen Melendy’s ward.


    That person also seemed surprised to see Elly Campbell there, pausing momentarily.


    After a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "Mrs. Jones."


    Elly Campbell remembered this woman; she was the one who came to the hospital with Leanne Richards to see Helen Melendyst time.


    Compared to Leanne Richards’s snobbery, this woman’s attitude was quite cordial.


    Nevertheless, because she was associated with Leanne Richards, Elly Campbell instinctively became guarded against her.


    "Hello."


    Elly Campbell nodded to her, "Ourst meeting was brief, I haven’t had the chance to ask for your name."


    "My name is rke Ainley, my father is Jason Ainley."


    Elly Campbell was familiar with the name Jason Ainley, a real estate magnate on par with Alva Hughes.


    However, the Hall Family did not seem to have any familial rtions with the Ainley n, so why was Miss Ainley so close with Leanne Richards?


    It was not far-fetched for Elly Campbell to be suspicious; given Leanne Richards’s opportunistic nature, she wouldn’t be so friendly with someone unless there was personal gain to be had.


    Likewise, that rke Ainley, a woman in her twenties, would be friends with someone like Leanne Richards, it could not help but arouse Elly Campbell’s suspicions.


    Especially considering rke Ainley was currently standing outside Helen Melendy’s ward, which even further stirred Elly Campbell’s thoughts.


    With a sense of wariness inside, Elly Campbell kept herposure and asked, "Miss Ainley, what brings you to Helen’s ward?"


    Seeing rke Ainley smiling serenely, she said, "Seeing Harry looking after Miss Melendy personally all this time, I couldn’t really help him, so I thought to take care of things during his absence, just in case Miss Melendy wakes up at some moment."


    Hearing her words, Elly Campbell’s brows twisted subtly.


    Why did it feel like there was something off about what she said?


    rke Ainley, perhaps sensing Elly Campbell’s thoughts, continued,


    "I’m sure Mrs. Jones can guess some of it, and I won’t hide it from you. Aunt Leanne... oh, that is, Harry’s mother, she has always wanted to set me up with Harry, hoping I’d be her daughter-inw. With Miss Melendy present, she never got her wish, which is why she has always been so hostile towards Miss Melendy."
