Chapter 451:
“Mr. Jones, do you have any sense of journalistic ethics left at all?” Helena had finally had enough of Donn’s cruel comments. Through clenched teeth, she asked the question.
Her harsh words caught Donn off guard for a moment.
After a brief pause, he recovered and snapped, “Who do you think you are? How dare you question your superior like this p>
“I’m nothing special,” Helena shot back confidently. “Just a journalist who still cares about what’s right. Have you even thought about how anxious and devastated Alden—Mr. Wilson’s family must be with him missing? Reporting the news is one thing, but the way you’re handling it? You’re making money off their pain p>
“You p>
Donn was speechless, but Helena didn’t back down. Her anger was unwavering. “Just so you remember, Genie TV has a solid reputation. It won’t stand for your desperate chase for clicks at any cost. If you keep going down this road, management won’t like it, and Star Wish Investments’ legal team won’t let you off easy p>
Donn’s temper was flaring. “Don’t think you can challenge me like this! You won’t believe it, but I can have you removed from your anchor spot in a heartbeat! No—I’ll fire you! I’ll make sure you’re out of the media game for good p>
“Huh!” Helena scoffed, her laugh icy. “Go ahead, give it a shot, and see who ends up blacklisted in this industry p>
Helena had always kept a low profile, staying polite and respectful to everyone. But what had it earned her? The man she loved vanishing without a trace?
Now, with rage burning inside her, she wasn’t going to back down. She had let half of her anger loose on Donn, her voice cutting and firm, leaving him briefly at a loss for words.
After years in the media world, Donn knew when someone was serious. He knew Helena’s words weren’t just bluster. She meant business.
“If you won’t take this interview assignment, I’ll get someone else to handle it,” Donn mumbled, backing off a bit from his earlier position.
But Helena stood firm. “Mr. Jones, let me be clear. No one but me will broadcast this story. If you insist on replacing me, be ready for a lawsuit from Star Wish Investments. You and whoever you pick will have a fight on your hands p>

Donn was once again caught off guard. He paused for a moment, then decided not to push any further. With embarrassment, he ended the call.
As the call ended, Helena’s hand, still holding the phone, dropped lifelessly to her side.
A few moments ago, her rage had given her energy, but now that it had faded, she felt completely drained. Her body seemed to give out, and she curled into herself, pressing her face into her hands as soft sobs broke free.
At that moment, Dominick walked into the airport, having heard the news. He stepped into the lounge and spotted Helena, looking fragile and broken. His heart sank at the sight.
