Chapter 356: 356. This man must be my Elly Campbell’s _1

She glanced sideways at Helen Melendy and offered a faint smile, "I just stupidly gazed at him, thinking in my heart, how could there be such a good-looking brother, so handsome that just looking at his face made me feel less sad."

"Pfft—"

Helen Melendy couldn’t hold back her laughter, gazing at Elly Campbell as she forced a smile through her sorrow, and said, "So you were already a ’dog for appearance’ back then, huh?"

Elly Campbell raised her hand and gave her a hard flick on the arm, "Asking for trouble, are you?"

Helen Melendy noticed that when Elly Campbell talked about Adam Jones, her tone was still plain and indifferent, as if she were recounting a story.

However, compared to the real indifference when she spoke about James Campbell earlier, her voice still carried a wave of emotion when she mentioned Adam Jones that was imperceptible to others.

Perhaps even Elly herself didn’t realize it.

"Maybe I inherited my grandfather’s temperament, naturally domineering. I felt at the time that a good-looking brother like him had to be Elly Campbell’s husband, and in the future, I would be the only one to marry him."

Listening to her domineering declaration, Helen Melendy teased, "Although you were only eight years old at that time, you sure were precocious."

After saying this, upon receiving Elly Campbell’s icy and warning stare, she quickly raised both hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, please continue."

Elly Campbell seemed to think of something, and the lines on her face unconsciously softened, "From then on, I thought of him every day, hoping he would visit my home again, but he never came back. I asked my grandfather, and he said he had gone abroad to study. It wasn’t until I was fifteen that my grandfather told me we would have an arranged marriage with the Jones Family and that I was betrothed to Adam Jones."

Although Helen Melendy didn’t know Elly Campbell back then, she must have been so happy to hear that news, considering how much she liked Adam Jones?

Thinking so, she directly asked.

Elly Campbell didn’t deny it and nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I’ve been yearning for him for eight years, how could I not be happy?"

"At that time, he was nineteen and had taken over the Jones Family business from Lady Jones. Back then, he was even more dazzling than when I first saw him. I heard everyone praising him as a genius. At eighteen, he completed degrees that people in their twenties or thirties may not achieve. Once he took over the Jones corporation, he brought it back from the brink of danger and reinstated it at the pinnacle of the business world."

"Even the servants of the Campbell Family knew how outstanding and brilliant the young master of the Jones Family was. I overheard the servants saying privately that someone as worthless as I could marry the young master of the Jones Family only because of the status of Miss Campbell, otherwise Adam would never have married me."

Hearing this, Helen Melendy’s brows knitted tightly, and she instantly became angry, "Your servants sure have some nerve."

In contrast to Helen Melendy’s righteous indignation, Elly Campbell appeared exceptionally calm, "They were right. Back then, aside from the status of Miss Campbell, I really had nothing else to offer. Marrying Adam Jones, I also felt it was above my station."

Helen Melendy was at a loss for words, listening to her underrate herself.

"It was from that time that I resolved to become a wife suitable for Adam Jones, I had to possess the worth and ability to match him."

"At sixteen, I went to the United States alone to study, not even coming back for the New Year. I worked hard to improve and enrich myself, just so that one day when I stood in front of him again, I would be Elly Campbell, someone worthy of being the young miss of the Jones Family, not the Miss Campbell who only knew how to sit by the poolside and cry like when he first saw me."
