Chapter 200
Chapter 200:
Alden seized Dario by the collar, but Dario remained unflustered, a smug smile playing on his lips as he said, “Mr. Wilson, instead of casting suspicions my way, perhaps you should consider how you might have pushed her away p>
“What do you mean by that?” Alden’s voice was laced with a chilling edge.
Laughing derisively, Dario pulled out his smartphone, quickly opened a webpage, and thrust the phone toward Alden.
With a scowl, Alden snatched the device and scanned the page rapidly. The words on the screen darkened his features further.
Gold-digger.
Pursuing Alden desperately.
No shame. Cheap.
Each harsh term was like a dagger to Alden’s heart.
Unaware until now, he was shocked to learn of the slander Helena had endured. What was even more disturbing—it had all started because of his actions.
Alden’s hand clenched the phone so tightly it nearly buckled.
“Careful! If you break that, you’re paying,” Dario remarked flippantly, reclaiming his phone. “For days, your followers have been attacking Helena. It got so bad that the complaints reached her superiors. She’s no longer on the air—she can’t host anymore. They had to send her away, out of the spotlight, to avoid further damage p>
At that moment, Alden realized the immense strain Helena had been under. Despite his professed love, he had been oblivious to it all, consumed by his possessiveness.
He felt a profound regret, but he knew this wasn’t the time for reflection.
Biting his lip, Alden asked urgently, “Has she already left for overseas p>
Reluctantly, Dario answered, knowing it was a matter of Helena’s safety, “Her plane leaves tomorrow. She’s still here—probably went to visit Mr. Ellis.” As he finished, Dario dialed Helena’s number.
The two were scheduled to collaborate on the overseas project. Given Helena’s professionalism, she would never ignore calls from Dario. Yet, Dario’s assurance faded as the phone continued to ring unanswered, his anxiety mounting visibly.
He cast a worried glance at Alden. Of all people, Alden understood Helena’s dedication to her career better than anyone. Something was wrong if her partner couldn’t reach her.

Alden’s heart raced as his phone suddenly rang. He answered swiftly, only to be greeted by a cold, unknown voice.
“If you want to see your woman, come to the place where it all began p>
The line went dead as the mysterious voice disappeared.
Attempting to redial, Alden found the number had become unreachable.
“Who was that?” Dario pressed with urgency.
Alden’s suspicion immediately fell on his family. Yet, mistrusting Dario, he kept silent, clutched his phone, and dashed out.
Within the walls of an abandoned building, Helena awoke to the sight of peeling walls, a dirt-strewn floor, and rows of decaying iron bunk beds. The atmosphere was gloomy and unnerving, yet strangely, it stirred a familiar sense, as if she had stood in that very place before.
Where was this place?
Memories, sharp as shards of glass, pierced her thoughts. The agony was so severe it clouded her sight, but through the fog, images of her youth emerged. She remembered lying in an identical iron bed, clad in an orphanage uniform, while a caretaker narrated tales to the room.
This realization hit her suddenly—this was her old orphanage.
This was the same dormitory where she had lived during her childhood. As Helena grappled with her returning memories, footsteps resounded down the corridor.
Startled, fully alert, she realized the gravity of her situation. A surge of fear swept through her, and moments later, the door creaked open as a shadowy figure stepped inside.
As Helena looked up in terror, her eyes met those of Chadwick, who had just entered the room.
