Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1923: Summer Hall Side Story (125)

At this moment, Helen Melendy’s phone rang. She took a look at it and said to Harry Hall:

"It’s my mom calling, I’ll step outside to take it."

"Alright, be careful."

Helen Melendy no longer needed assistance while walking, although her steps were still slow. Harry Hall, however, couldn’t help but remind her.

Helen’s words, "my mom," made Shannon Richards’ eyebrows twitch slightly as she naturally thought of Edward Smith’s mother.

She hesitated for a moment, looked at Harry Hall, and tentatively asked:

"By the way, cousin, I ran into your wife and Madam Smith at the mall the day before yesterday. Madam Smith mentioned she’s your wife’s mother, what’s going on? Wasn’t your wife’s family already..."

Shannon Richards carefully considered her tone and choice of words to make her probing seem less obvious.

Harry Hall’s eyes narrowed subtly as he glanced at her sideways.

Shannon’s heart skipped a beat, afraid Harry Hall might think she had ill intentions. She dared not meet his gaze.

"That day, I saw that your wife and Madam Smith looked very much alike, so I was curious."

After silently looking at her for a few seconds, Harry Hall withdrew his gaze. Without hiding anything, he said:

"Madam Smith is indeed Helen’s biological mother, and Edward Smith is her real brother."

Even though Shannon had already guessed this, Harry Hall’s confirmation excited her, and she tightly grasped her clothes to avoid showing her emotions too clearly.

Harry Hall decided to answer Shannon’s question to make sure this family, including his own mother, fully understood whom they could or could not provoke.

Adrian Richards had heard about this from his daughter before coming. Initially, he didn’t fully believe that a parentless orphan could be the daughter of a prestigious family.

From the beginning, they, like their sister, looked down on Helen Melendy because of her humble origins.

But in the blink of an eye, the girl they once disregarded as a "wild chicken" had soared high, entered a prestigious family, and turned into the young lady of a grand household.

It wasn’t just Shannon who couldn’t accept such a change in identity; even the elders found it hard to reverse their positions suddenly.

Not to mention Leanne Richards, who had always maintained an air of superiority over Helen Melendy.

As a mother-in-law who considered herself superior, having to adapt to her daughter-in-law’s position was something challenging for anyone to accept.

While the Richards family inwardly sighed, new thoughts began to surface.

Adrian Richards smiled with satisfaction and said:

"So Helen is a daughter of the Smith Family. That’s quite a status. I must say, Harry, you’ve truly found a treasure in marrying such a good wife."

Harry Hall curled his lips without denying, "Indeed, I’m very fortunate to have married Helen."

At that moment, Helen Melendy had just finished her call and walked back in, overhearing Harry Hall’s sudden declaration, and looked over at him, meeting his smiling eyes with a smile of her own.

Lady Richards, noticing her entrance, also took the opportunity to praise:

"No wonder when I first met Helen, I thought this child had an extraordinary aura. A girl from a prestigious family is truly different; her noble bearing just can’t be hidden."

Lady Richards looked at Helen Melendy with eyes as loving as if she were her own daughter, with an affection that seemed to spill over unstintingly.
