Chapter 1526: 1526. Awakening
Now in the Hall Family, she was the one in charge.
Thinking this, even her steps became lighter.
“Madam, it’s a call from Madam Ainley.”
Leanne Richards had just dressed up and came downstairs when the servant handed her the phone.
The “Madam Ainley” the servant referred to was Clarke Ainley’s mother, Lily Hill.
Upon hearing it was her, Leanne raised her eyebrows slightly.
Back then, she wanted to form an alliance with the Ainley Clan and have her son marry Clarke Ainley, so she spoke good words in front of Lily Hill many times.
Although Lily Hill also admired Harry Hall, at that time, ownership of the Hall Clan was still unclear. William Hall obviously favored his younger son, so Lily Hill was not particularly keen on the alliance.
Therefore, all along, Leanne was in a passive and flattering position.
But now it’s uncertain. Harry Hall had taken control of the entire Hall Clan, even handling all of William Hall’s old subordinates, completely taking over the Hall Clan.
Harry Hall is now the ruler of the Hall Clan, handsome, with skills and strategy. With Harry Hall’s capability, there’s no worry that the Hall Clan would fall into others’ hands in the future.
If a daughter marries into the Hall Family, she would become the Young Miss of a prestigious family.
The Hall and Ainley families joining forces would only make them more invincible in the business world.
So, ever since Harry Hall took control of the Hall Clan, Lily Hill’s attitude towards Leanne had taken a complete turn.
Previously, Leanne was the one appealing to her; now, it was Lily Hill trying to please Leanne.
Even though such flattery wasn’t obvious, Leanne could feel it, especially since the once high-and-mighty Lily Hill would never have called her first.
But ever since her son controlled the Hall Clan, calls like this had increased.
It wasn’t just Lily Hill; many families wanting to ally with the Hall Family were trying to get close to her through her son.
The sense of superiority Leanne once had, merely to cover up her own inferiority, now came justifiably and proudly.
Answering the phone, “Madam Ainley.”
“I’ve arranged to play cards at Mrs. Gresia’s house… You want to join? Sure, I’m on the way; I’ll pick you up?”
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries on the phone and hung up, Leanne’s face showed a hint of disdain.
Previously, she longed to form an alliance with the Ainley Clan. Now she had more options, and she didn’t need to cling to the Ainley Clan; she just needed not to neglect them.
Raising her hand to touch her freshly done hair, she walked out of the Hall Family with her head high and chest out.
Helen Melendy woke up on a very ordinary afternoon. She opened her eyes, blankly staring at the snow-white ceiling and the IV drip yet to finish in her hand, her mind blank.
Unable to recall why she was lying here, she tried to get out of bed and proceeded to do so.
She lifted the quilt, her feet moving to the floor. Just as she was about to stand up, her legs suddenly gave way, and she lunged forward, followed by a heavy thud as she hit the ground.
She instinctively cried out in pain but realized no sound came from her throat.
Her face contorted in agony, a sense of unease inexplicably arising within her.
But before she had enough time to process her panic, the hospital room door swiftly opened. Harry Hall’s worried and handsome face instantly appeared in her sight, simultaneously causing a flash of astonishment in Helen Melendy’s eyes.
