Chapter 256:
As soon as Dorian left, Alden turned to Helena, ready to explain. But before he could say anything, Helena let out a light laugh.
“Don’t worry. I’m not the kind to get jealous over nothing p>
Alden sighed in relief and didn’t say another word.
That was true. Helena had never been the jealous sort—always so understanding and kind. Yet, for some reason, Alden couldn’t shake the feeling of disappointment.
In reality, Helena wasn’t as calm as she appeared. She was very curious about the woman Dorian had mentioned, but she didn’t want to let her feelings interfere with Alden’s work.
A week flew by in the blink of an eye. After the group interview at Genie TV, there were a couple more rounds to go through.
Soon after the final interview, Dominick called Helena for a video chat. His voice was brimming with excitement as he couldn’t wait to break the news.
“Helena, I just got the message—I’ve been hired! Oh, and Tessa and some of the other interns got offers too p>
After sharing his own success, he laughed and added, “You’re the most qualified of all of us—I’m sure you must’ve heard back already p>
“Uh…” Helena gave a nervous smile, trying to hide her letdown. “I haven’t heard anything yet p>
Dominick was shocked. “No way! As far as I know, everyone in the interview—whether they got in or not—has already heard back p>

Helena’s smile faded slightly, turning bitter. She didn’t say much after that. Once the call ended, she tossed her phone on the coffee table and sank into the sofa, feeling exhausted.
During the group interview, when the interviewer asked her about the online harassment she had experienced, she had already sensed her chances slipping away. She had been at the heart of a media frenzy—though things had calmed down, there was always the chance that something old could resurface and cause problems again.
Working at a TV station meant being in the middle of the media chaos. As she thought about it, Helena lifted her arm to cover her eyes and let out a long sigh.

She had shouldered the weight of life alone for so many years—she wasn’t the type to crack under pressure. But Genie TV was exactly the kind of ethical media company she had always dreamed of working for. She didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
Star Wish Investments had been busy lately, but Alden knew Helena was anxious about her job search, so he made sure to work from home to be there for her.
Xavier stopped by to drop off some paperwork. The moment he walked in, he noticed Helena sitting on the sofa, looking exhausted and deflated.
He quickly looked away and followed Alden into the study. After they wrapped up their discussion, Xavier couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Wilson, why don’t you help your wife p>
