Chapter 59
Chapter 59:
As Betsey watched Helena rush away, her lips curled into a sly, sinister smile.
She had just sent a few cleverly manipulated photos to Cassandra, not anticipating that the bold woman would actually storm into the TV station.
At least a dozen women at Nexus TV had slept with Laurence. This time, however, Helena was destined to bear the brunt of it all.
Even with her powerful backer lurking in the shadows, there was no way to stifle the spread of the scandal.
Betsey was certain that within just two days, Helena would be ousted from Nexus TV.
Inside the VIP lounge, Cassandra was so distraught that her voice had become hoarse from crying.
Helena’s phone buzzed incessantly, a relentless reminder of the chaos unfolding.
Rumors spread like wildfire, as if someone were fueling the flames on purpose.
News alerts flashed across screens with sensational, scandalous headlines: “Nexus Anchor Caught in Affair with Married Executive,” “Weather Anchor Slapped by Wife for Seducing Husband,” and more.
The first call came from the Simpson family.
Gemma wasted no time, demanding that Helena resign from Nexus TV immediately.
To protect their ties with the Wilson family, Gemma insisted on sending Helena to a remote location to lie low, stressing that Alden must not find her or file for divorce right away.
Helena couldn’t help but find the situation bitterly ironic; Gemma hadn’t spared a thought for her innocence. All Gemma cared about was the so-called reputation of the Simpson family.
To make matters worse, Alden hadn’t reached out once—not a message, not a call.
She had vowed to keep their relationship under wraps, to shield the Wilson family from scandal.
Yet now, she had shattered that promise.
Alden had every right to seek a divorce—and perhaps he was already planning to do just that.

Helena gripped her phone tightly, a sharp ache piercing her heart.
She couldn’t understand why this was happening. In a moment like this, she could brush off everyone else’s judgment, but she was desperate to know if Alden would believe her.
Suddenly, the door to the VIP lounge swung open, and Laurence strode in, his expression dark with fury.
Cassandra rushed to him, relief flooding her face. “Laurence, you finally decided to show up p>
He shot her an impatient glare. “What will it take for you to stop making a scene p>
Though Laurence had had more affairs than he could count, Cassandra had never caught him red-handed. Yet, this time, she had mistakenly turned her suspicions toward Helena, believing her to be his mistress.
Cassandra shouted, her voice hoarse, “That little tramp still won’t admit it! So tell me, is she your mistress or not p>
Helena opened her mouth to explain, but Laurence cut her off, his voice rising.
“And what if she really is p>
Helena’s eyes widened in shock.
“Mr. Palmer, there’s nothing going on between us! Why won’t you just tell the truth p>
Laurence had already made his decision.
After all, Helena was already aware of the underhanded tactics he and Neville had employed against female staff—who knew when she might gather enough evidence to expose him?
It was wiser to place the blame for the mistress scandal squarely on Helena and ensure she was removed from the station.
This way, Cassandra would finally quiet down, and he’d never have to worry about Helena reporting him again.
Cassandra, still sniffling, jabbed her finger so close to Helena’s forehead that it nearly made contact.
“I knew it was you! Now that my husband has confessed, you still want to deny it? How can someone like you even be on air as an anchor? Laurence, I demand her dismissal. And you—don’t you ever associate with her again p>
Laurence feigned restraint over Cassandra’s outburst, but the glare he directed at Helena was laced with threat and intimidation.
“Helena, now that our affair is exposed, you’ll simply have to leave Nexus TV. You’re still young; find another path. But as for being an anchor, forget it p>
His words dripped with warning.
He knew that after a scandal like this, no female anchor’s reputation could withstand the fallout.
But for him, it was a different story. In a matter of months, everyone would forget this tabloid mess.
Helena was completely taken aback by Laurence’s audacious accusation.
She had committed no wrongdoing, yet she was being used as a scapegoat for Laurence and his affairs!
Was she truly expected to sacrifice the career she loved and abandon her dream of becoming a news anchor?
No way.
Her hand clenched into a tight fist at her side. Her eyes, cold and piercing, locked onto Laurence.
“What if I insist on remaining at Nexus TV p>
