Chapter 1022
In the backyard, Evan and White, had been searching around before they made their way to the west wing of the estate.
Spotting Helen by the lakeside gazebo, Evan gritted his teeth and commanded, “White, go p>
White immediately leaped forward, swimming through the bushes into the lake waters.
At that moment, Helen was in the gazebo, attempting to unwind.
However, the online news she stumbled upon only served to fan the flames of her anger instead of calming her nerves.
She had never paid much attention to the online chatter about her and Pamela before. But after Elliot brought it up today, she was curious.
How could strangers claim Pamela was the epitome of grace and kindness?
Bored, Helen decided to do a little digging online.
And what she found was infuriating!
A search for Pamela yielded nothing but glowing praises.
People lauded her for her majestic beauty, calling her a beacon of Eastern charm.
They praised her for her literary elegance, dubbing her Oceanopolis’s number one classy beauty.
They reminisced about her youthful radiance and optimism.
They admired her for being dignified and gracious post-marriage, always treating others with kindness.
Some even spoke of the profound maternal love they saw in her, despite the tragedies she faced.
Clayton hailed her as a wonderful wife, the Patel family praised her as a dutiful daughter, and even the old lady from the hills called her the best daughter-in-law in the world!
In essence, she was perfect in every way!
But when Helen searched for her own name, the contrast was stark.
Critics branded her as petty and spiteful.
Accusations of jealousy and an inability to see others succeed followed her.
Insults about her lack of intellect and pretense at being cultured were rampant.
And comments about her lacking in beauty but not in vanity were the icing on the cake.
After much searching, not a single compliment could be found!
Fuming, Helen turned to her confidant, her voice icy, “Why haven’t you told me about these comments p>
Her confidant shared her frustration, “Like you, I hadn’t been following these. Had I known, I would’ve informed you sooner p>
Helen clenched her teeth, “This must be the Patel family’s doing. They’re deliberately tarnishing my reputation p>
Her confidant agreed, brows furrowed, “Absolutely! The Patel family is known for this. They find it too easy to discredit someone online. Haven’t you noticed? Pamela’s brothers have always detested us. Every encounter ends with them giving us death stares, seeing us as archenemies p>
Helen’s jealousy surged anew.
Pamela had it all – her parents’ love, her brothers’ affection, and even her sisters-in-law treated her well.
The Patel family adored her, and Clayton was unwaveringly loyal!
If only Pamela hadn’t insisted on staying in her daughter’s room, refusing to return to her parental home, Helen would’ve had no opportunity to torment her!
In contrast, Helen’s own family situation was dismal.
The Murphy family’s daughters were merely pawns for profit. Without any potential gain, the Murphy family wouldn’t bother with them.
Knowing what was on her mind, her maid flattered, “Madam, don’t be upset. What use are online praises and family affection? She lost her daughter and her mind! Her life is nothing compared to yours now. You’re high above, and she? She’s nothing but a bug in the mud p>
Helen felt slightly better, her resolve hardening, “If I had known the Patel family would dare to treat me this way, I would’ve made Pamela pay even more dearly! Just wait, the Patel family will have their day of tears p>
Her confidant quickly added, “Pamela has been out of her mind for over twenty years, and the Patel family has been troubled all along. If Pamela were to die, the Patel family would be devastated. Perhaps her parents would die of grief p>
Feeling uplifted, Helen inquired, “Is everything for the plan arranged p>
“All set. We just need Pamela to fall into the trap. Oh, and about the Thorne family’s three sons, which one should we choose p>
