Chapter 103: 103. Not continuing with scum_1
Elly Campbell turned her head in confusion and when she saw who it was, surprise crossed her face before she understood.
Harry Hall was Adam Jones’s good friend and the chief legal advisor for Jones Corporation; his presence here naturally had to do with his divorce lawsuit with her.
As if he did not see the anger on Helen Melendy’s face, Harry Hall seated himself next to her and spoke to Elly Campbell, "Miss Campbell, I am here on behalf of President Jones to discuss the divorce with you."
"That’s fine."
Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow and saw the uncontrollable anger on her friend’s face. She was curious, but she knew it was not the right time to ask.
She turned to Harry Hall and said, "Then please trouble Lawyer Hall to convey to President Jones to sign the divorce agreement. We are going to divorce sooner or later, so why waste time with legal procedures, don’t you think?"
Elly Campbell said with a smile, yet her expression was very distant.
Harry Hall nodded, and a rare smile spread across his usually austere face, "Miss Campbell does not want the court to intervene and mediate?"
"No need."
Elly Campbell rejected the offer without hesitation, "Whether there is mediation or not, the outcome will be the same. Why waste time?"
Harry Hall smiled again, his usual elegance and nobility on display, "But President Jones has already agreed to the court’s mediation."
Elly Campbell was not surprised by this; after all, Adam Jones had repeatedly refused to sign the papers, and while she did not understand why he was so insistent on not divorcing, his current reluctance was a tangible fact.
"In that case..."
Before Elly Campbell could speak, Harry Hall continued, "I represent President Jones, and Lawyer Melendy represents you, madam. So let’s have this divorce case negotiated directly between me and Lawyer Melendy. You can go ahead with your business for now."
Elly Campbell: "..."
Why did she feel like Harry Hall was rushing her away?
She looked at Harry Hall glancing at Helen Melendy from time to time, her gaze growing cold. Was this Mr. Hall after Helen?
Before she could speak, Helen Melendy stood up and grabbed her bag, "Who wants to talk with you?!"
As soon as the words dropped, she was heading out, only to be quickly grabbed by the wrist by Harry Hall, his lips still curled in an elegant smile, but his cool gaze carrying a hint of pressure that made Helen Melendy feel a confrontational aura coming at her.
"Lawyer Melendy, I have sought you out several times, and you have repeatedly avoided me. I had to come here to catch you. As Miss Campbell’s representative attorney, if I don’t approach you, who should I talk to? You are a renowned attorney yourself; don’t you have any professional integrity?"
"You..."
Helen Melendy’s face alternated between red and pale with anger due to Harry Hall’s words, which seemed soft but were actually needle-sharp.
Then, she gave Harry Hall a fierce glare and sat back down, "Let’s just talk if we’re going to talk. Make it quick, don’t waste my damn time."
She looked at Harry Hall, arrogantly lifting her chin, "Tell Adam Jones to give up this notion. Elly won’t continue with such a scumbag."
Elly Campbell watched her friend’s furious demeanor, especially when she said the word "scumbag" through clenched teeth, and she vaguely understood something.
The "rotten people" Helen mentioned in their circle, Harry Hall was one of them, right?
But what Elly knew of Harry Hall, he always maintained clean and self-improvement, without even a rumor of a girlfriend around him, so how did he become "rotten"?
