Elly Campbell didn't expect Clarke Ainley to be so candid, and when she spoke, there was not a hint of guilt in her manner.
"And the reason I am here is indeed because of Harry. I like him, and I would love to marry him and become his wife, but..."
As she said this, she gave an apologetic smile, and continued:
"I know it's somewhat shameless to say this, but Mrs. Jones, I have no ill intentions towards Miss Ainley. I just wanted to help Harry out."
Clarke Ainley was beautiful, especially her eyes; when she looked at you, they were so bright and sincere that you couldn't help but believe her words.
But for some reason, Elly Campbell felt inexplicably repelled by Clarke Ainley's actions.
Probably because she felt obliged to protect her good friend's interests, so she instinctively rejected those who coveted her friend's fiancé.
However, people like Clarke Ainley who don't hide their feelings and express their emotions so directly are rare.
