Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 2011. Summer Hall Extra Story (213)

The initially tool-like Edward Smith, standing by his sister, was suddenly "pulled" out, a trace of displeasure immediately surfacing in his eyes.

He probably guessed who this woman suddenly approaching was, but he still feigned ignorance and asked:

"And you are?"

Shannon Richards beamed with joy when he responded and said:

"I’m Harry Hall’s younger cousin sister, my name is Shannon Richards, you can just call me Shannon."

Helen Melendy watched her, eager to attach herself, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly; and this time, it was anything but elegant.

"Surname is Richards?"

Edward Smith’s lips curved into a cold smile.

"Isn’t that part of the Richards Clan that used to bully my sister along with your aunt?"

Before coming to the Smith Family, Shannon Richards never considered that Edward Smith would be aware of past events. Hearing him bring it up so bluntly now, with a hint of anger in his tone, her heart sank heavily.

The smile she had tailored to present her charm before Edward—one she thought would attract others—froze on her face.

"Mr. Smith, you... you might be misunderstanding me..."

In her heart, however, she was furious with Helen Melendy, the gossip. Were past matters so outdated that she needed to go complain to her brother now?

After Harry Hall messed up the Richards Clan this way, did she still intend to go after her?

Shannon Richards felt both anxious and angry, thinking Helen Melendy was such a despicable person, now haughty with the Smith Family support.

Edward Smith could see from the anger and helplessness on her face that she was blaming Helen Melendy in her heart.

He let out a cold snort, leaving not a shred of dignity for Shannon Richards, and directly said:

"Miss Richards, there’s no need to blame my sister in your heart. Do you really think Edward Smith is so useless he doesn’t even know what she’s been through?"

His voice wasn’t heavy, but every word was clear and powerful.

"Tonight is my sister’s birthday, and I don’t want to make a scene and ruin her party. As for you using someone else’s invitation to get in, I won’t hold it against you. Behave yourself."

After saying this, he turned to Helen Melendy and said:

"Don’t waste time here, mom and dad are over there, or you can go find your husband. I’m leaving."

"Okay, big brother."

Helen Melendy winked at him and pointed towards Elly Campbell and Johnson Fefferman’s direction, saying:

"Big brother, go over there."

Edward Smith didn’t need to look to know what she was scheming again, and glared at her, but his feet disobediently headed towards Johnson Fefferman.

After Edward Smith’s straightforward rebuke, Shannon Richards’ face turned increasingly pale, her heavily invested alluring yet innocent makeup was also overshadowed.

After Edward Smith left, Helen Melendy looked at Shannon Richards and straightforwardly exposed her thoughts, saying:

"Set your eyes on my big brother?"

Shannon Richards was so shocked that she looked up at her quickly, instinctively shaking her head to deny, "No...no, sister-in-law, you... you misunderstand, I..."

Helen Melendy didn’t listen to her words at all, directly raising her hand to interrupt her.

At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, she was like a big bad wolf bullying a little lamb, extremely detestable.

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, so you don’t need to put on that pitiful act. Can’t we just talk seriously?"
