Chapter 116: 116. Don’t waste police resources_1

Thin lips were pinched tight into a line at this moment, revealing great annoyance.

Elly Campbell struggled forcefully to break free from Adam Jones’s grip and turned to leave. Since he refused to call Harry Hall, she had no choice but to think of another way.

She did not trust Harry Hall with Helen at all.

"Adam Jones, I don’t want to argue with you about the past. Please call Harry Hall for me or give me his number," she said after taking a deep breath and speaking patiently.

Adam Jones stared at her for a long while. Elly thought he would still be uncooperative, but after a long silence, she saw him circle around her and walk out of the bathroom.

Elly hurriedly followed him, seeing that Adam Jones had already dialed Harry Hall’s number and was handing her the phone.

Elly quickly took it, and after a few rings, Harry Hall answered with a raspy voice.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Hall, is Helen still with you?"

There was silence on the other end for several seconds before a deep "Hmm" confirmed, "She’s asleep."

Just as Elly was about to say she wanted to pick up Helen Melendy, the phone was snatched away by Adam Jones. Elly’s face darkened, "Adam Jones..."

"Helen Melendy is safe with Harry."

Adam Jones interrupted her with a grave voice. Elly glared at him with no good feeling, and scoffed, "How do you know?"

"They are boyfriend and girlfriend."

The reply from Adam Jones left Elly stunned for a good while before she could speak incredulously, "What... what?"

Helen had only helped her get in touch with Harry a few times and now she was Harry’s woman?

Seeming to notice the confusion in Elly’s mind, Adam said, "They’ve been together since their university days."

The surprise in Elly’s eyes deepened.

University?

She remembered Helen mentioning a boyfriend in university, but later they broke up because he cheated, right?

Could that person be Harry Hall?

With this thought, Elly looked at Adam Jones, intensifying the irony in her gaze, "Helen was right, birds of a feather flock together."

Adam Jones didn’t understand why Elly had suddenly made that comment, but the "birds of a feather flock together" she mentioned surely wasn’t meant positively.

His eyebrows knitted almost imperceptibly as he was about to speak, but Elly continued, "They broke up, so what boyfriend and girlfriend are you talking about? President Jones might want to protect his friend, but don’t joke about my friend’s safety."

With that, she didn’t bother to look at Adam Jones’s expression and walked over to the nightstand to pick up the phone, "Hello? Police, please? I want to report..."

Adam Jones wouldn’t take her to find Harry Hall, and she wasn’t inclined to beg him now.

Hearing her, Adam Jones’s eyebrows suddenly twisted, and he stepped forward to press down on her hand, hanging up the phone, "Don’t waste police resources in the middle of the night."

His deep voice carried intense displeasure and reproach, but Elly merely glanced at him dismissively, "I’m worried about my friend’s safety and can’t find her. What’s wrong with reporting that? How does it become wasting police resources with President Jones?"

Seeing the mockery and distance in Elly’s eyes, Adam Jones knew that continuing to argue with her at this moment would be futile. He tried to remain patient and said:

"The matter between Harry and Helen Melendy is none of our business. You sleep here tonight, and look for her tomorrow."

Elly wanted to say more, but Adam Jones’s words finally swayed her.
