Chapter 312:
After all, she and Dorian had only shared one night together. Was there really a need to say anything at all?
Dorian gave Eleanino a sharp look, his tone firm but tired. “This time, it’s you who’s causing trouble. I’ll always choose what’s right over blind loyalty p>
“Screw you p>
In front of Dorian, Eleanino didn’t bother with the sweet, innocent act she usually wore for Alden. She clenched her teeth, turned sharply, but stopped midway to the door.
Refusing to back down, she spun around and shot Valeria a sneering look. “Don’t think that just because your best friend is from the Harrison family, she can win Alden’s heart. He’s always had one person in his heart—his first love, his white whale, since childhood. No matter how much Helena wants it, she’ll never take that place p>
With a flick of her heel, Eleanino turned and walked away.
For a moment, Valeria and Dorian stood frozen. Then, almost simultaneously, the realization hit them—the “white whale” Eleanino was talking about? Nyno. And Nyno was Helena.
They shared a brief look and let out a quiet laugh. But as the laughter died down, Dorian’s thoughts turned to Leonino, while Valeria couldn’t help but think about how close he seemed with Eleanino. Their smiles faded quickly, each letting out a small, stubborn sigh before parting ways, unwilling to back down.
Since the memory loss, Alden had kept his distance from everyone.
He hadn’t returned to his old home. Instead, he had opted for an apartment within the company building.
Lately, Alden found his thoughts drifting to Helena more often than he cared to admit. The more he tried to ignore it, the more curious he became.
Almost without thinking, he pulled out the feature article she had written about him. He wasn’t sure what he was hoping to find, only that he needed to know how she had seen him.
He was barely halfway through when a knock broke his focus.
Glancing through the peephole, he spotted Leonino. Only then did he unlock the door, slowly and with caution.

“Mr. Wilson, you’re really leaning into the dramatics lately. If you wanted me to check on you, you could’ve just dropped by the hospital or called me. But no, you had to send a cryptic little email. I almost missed it! Honestly, if someone else had seen it, they’d think you were being held hostage and trying to send some covert distress signal,” Leonino muttered, flopping down on the sofa as if it was his own.
Alden’s face remained composed as he spoke, his tone steady. “I had no choice. I lost my memory, and someone’s been keeping an eye on me. I have to stay cautious p>
Leonino barely paid attention, his eyes drifting to the magazine spread open on the table. It was Helena’s interview article.
Out of nowhere, Leonino’s mind flickered to Valeria. He gave Alden a knowing smirk. “Even without those memories, you still can’t escape this woman’s hold p>
Alden didn’t bite on the playful jab. He stayed focused on the matter at hand, shifting the conversation back to his hearing loss.
