Chapter 560
Chapter 560:
The words echoed in Betsey’s head like the tolling of a sharp bell. Betsey furrowed her brow, clearly puzzled. “But… isn’t Mr. Wilson leaving her? I thought she p>
“Fool! Do you swallow every half-baked rumor that comes your way?” Lucas growled, his jaw clenched. “They’re solid—no trouble at all! That man would bend over backwards for her p>
These words knocked the wind out of Betsey. A cold shiver crept down her back.
“Does Mr. Wilson really care so much about Helena?” Betsey asked, her voice shaking with unease.
“I saw it with my own eyes. Why on earth would I make that up?” Lucas answered, irritation written all over his face.
Betsey gulped, her nervousness bleeding into her words. “If that’s really the case, then wouldn’t Mr. Wilson try to deal with me, if he’s ready to stand up for Helena p>
She didn’t give Lucas time to respond before begging him, her voice small and desperate, “Mr. Wright, please… I’m begging you—help me p>
Lucas let out a dramatic sigh and shot her a glare. “You really are pathetic,” he said, the contempt thick in his tone. “If Helena had any real intention of coming after you, the Harrisons would’ve already handled it. She wouldn’t even need Mr. Wilson’s help. The fact that nothing’s happened to you so far should be a clue. Honestly, Helena doesn’t even see you as worth the trouble p>
At first, Betsey felt a flicker of relief, grateful that she wasn’t in immediate danger. But that comfort quickly turned bitter, and a strong wave of resentment bubbled up inside her.
She hated the idea that, after everything she’d done to bring Helena down, she hadn’t even been taken seriously—as if she wasn’t even worth noticing.
The sting of that shame and the fury boiling inside her made her ball her hands into tight fists.
Alden took Helena straight to the closest hotel.
They ended up in the exact suite Zayden had mentioned in his message.
As the door clicked shut behind them, Helena, who had been holding everything in for so long, finally felt something inside her let go. Her heart, once tied in knots, began to ease.
“Alden… Alden…” she whispered, her voice trembling and her face wet with tears.

The moment Alden laid her gently on the bed, she arched toward him and wrapped herself around him, holding on like she couldn’t let go.
“Helena, don’t worry. It will be alright soon. In no time, Helena,” Alden said softly, trying to calm her down. Though the tension between them had been building ever since the car ride, and her teasing had stirred every nerve in him, he made sure to stay calm and focused.
He didn’t want to rush things. He didn’t want to cause her pain. With slow, deliberate movements, he used his hands to soothe her stiff, trembling body.
“Alden, I’m in pain. Hurry up!” Helena cried, her legs twisting together, brushing with urgency.
Her hands tangled in his short hair, clutching hard, as if she wanted to draw him deeper, closer—into her very soul.
