Chapter 354: 354. Why do I have to explain myself to you_1

He wasn’t exactly sure what had happened back then, but he believed that Adam couldn’t have chosen to believe something based solely on a word or two from Sophie.

However, he didn’t ask what level of investigation had been reached, after all, recalling the incident from those years wasn’t a pleasant memory, especially since it involved Elly Campbell.

Helen Melendy, seeing that Harry Hall couldn’t come up with an answer, didn’t press further. She struggled forcefully a couple of times and wrenched her hand free from Harry’s grip, saying:

"I’m going to find Elly, you keep an eye on that pig, Adam Jones."

But as she turned to leave, her wrist was caught again by Harry Hall.

"What are you doing now?"

"You haven’t explained the situation at the club clearly to me, and now you’re planning to just walk away?"

Since their reunion, it had always been Helen Melendy who was either keeping a straight face or shouting at him—this was the first time he had confronted Helen Melendy with a cold expression.

Those usually gentle eyes had become icy, and his stare seemed to frighten Helen for a moment.

But she still stiffened her neck and said, "Why should I explain to you, who are you to me?"

"Helen Melendy!"

Harry Hall’s face darkened, and he raised his voice sharply.

The volume rose with his anger, startling Helen into an instinctive tremble, and she forgot to retort.

"If I hadn’t arrived in time, what were you planning to do?"

His face darkened, his gaze locking onto Helen’s flickering eyes as he questioned her.

"I... I called Elly over, didn’t I?"

She moved her lips, offering a weak rebuttal.

"Elly? Just her?"

Harry Hall let out a cold laugh, "If I hadn’t been there, she wouldn’t even have been able to find where you were. Do you really think Elly has become so powerful that she can do anything?"

"You..."

Helen Melendy’s already deflated demeanour became tinged with anger due to Harry’s clear disdain for Elly, "Criticize me if you must, but why bring Elly into this?"

Watching her eyes widen in anger, Harry Hall sneered with a touch of sarcasm, "At least you have some loyalty."

When he heard Elly mention she was in trouble, heaven knows how scared he was.

He painstakingly reviewed the security footage one by one, and it was not easy finding her. When he entered, he saw her surrounded by a group of men.

If he had been a moment later, he didn’t dare to think what could have happened.

And yet this woman had the audacity to give him attitude when he was just looking for an explanation—not a nose like a nose, not eyes like eyes. He really owed her from a past life.

"No loyalty? Your pig of a brother has been bullying Elly for so long, and yet you’re always speaking up for him? You’re cut from the same cloth; just get lost, the lot of you,"

Helen Melendy, who was typically hot-tempered—as Harry Hall had said, she could become violent when provoked—was extra irritable when her verbal sharpness didn’t match Harry’s, and she aimed a kick towards Harry’s knee.

"You have the nerve to demand an explanation for today’s events—as if it wasn’t your snobbish mother throwing her weight around because of your family’s dirty money, stirring up trouble for me, I wouldn’t have had to deal with those disgusting men today."

The more Helen Melendy thought about it, the angrier she became, but aware that they were in a hospital and worried about disturbing the patients’ rest, she stormed off after yelling her piece at Harry Hall.

Stunned by Helen Melendy’s shouting, Harry Hall was at a loss for a few seconds before he snapped back to reality and quickly followed after her, "What did you say??"
