Chapter 587
Right now, Helena’s greatest fear was public exposure and a massive media storm.
If she were cornered and interrogated by reporters, the footage would instantly go viral across the internet.
The scandal would detonate, and rumors would spread like wildfire.
With Jarred’s vast network and intelligence resources, he would instantly spot the red flags and trace everything right back to the source.
If that happened, she wouldn’t just lose face entirely.
The Sterling family would become the ultimate laughingstock of the city, and the matriarch would completely disown her.
“They absolutely cannot film us! They cannot! Drive faster p>
Helena screamed at the top of her lungs, watching the reporters sprinting toward the back of her car as she barked at the driver.
The bodyguards instantly rolled up the windows, and the driver didn’t dare hesitate for a second.
Whipping the wheel around, the black luxury car tore away from the curb, fleeing the scene in total disgrace.
Through the glass, Sienna stood completely still, watching the car desperately speed off. The smile on her lips slowly faded, leaving nothing but cold, absolute indifference.
Everything was exactly under her control.
Inside the racing car, the confined space felt suffocating.
Helena completely lost her mind, cursing through gritted teeth. “That vicious, malicious little viper!
She did that on purpose! She deliberately blocked my path and humiliated me, intentionally backing me into a corner p>
A toxic mixture of absolute defeat and deep-seated hatred festered inside her.
Her eyes swirled with a manic, violent malice. Her voice was ruthlessly cold.
“Does she really think I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on her?
If she’s so determined not to hand it over, then I’ll make sure she dies! I am not letting her get away with this p>
Sitting beside her, Celeste kept her eyes lowered, fully maintaining her role as the gentle, supportive confidante.
She gently patted Helena’s back, her words laced with considerate comfort.
“Helena, please don’t get so worked up. It’s not worth ruining your health over.
Sienna is deeply calculating and incredibly guarded. We aren’t going to win by fighting her head-on right now. We just need to take our time p>
Her words sounded soothing, but there was zero genuine concern in her eyes, only the cold calculation of an observer watching a trap snap shut.
Helena was tearing her hair out in frustration, completely unable to calm down.
The matriarch’s deadline was rapidly approaching.
Sienna was utterly impenetrable, immune to both threats and reasoning.
She frantically clawed at her hair, her tone dripping with venom. “Take our time? How the hell am I supposed to take my time?
She absolutely refuses to hand over the trust management rights. I can’t get my capital, I can’t make the money, and loan’t buy back the necklace
The second the matriarch loses her temper, I am completely finished in the Sterling family!
Tell me… what else can I possibly do p>
This desperate plea for help was exactly what Celeste had been waiting for.
Her eyes shifted slightly, a nearly imperceptible flash of toxic malice darting through them, white her face remained as innocent and harmless as ever.
“Helena, honestly… Sienna’s biggest weakness has never been power, reputation, or money p>
Hearing this, Helena immediately wiped the panic from her face, looking at her in sheer confusion.
Celeste offered a soft smile. Appearing to offer a lifeline, she was actually pouring gasoline on the fire.
She was pointing a hopeless Helena straight toward an even darker abyss.
“The only reason she acts so tough and calculates every move is because she has attachments. She has vulnerabilities.
The one thing she protects with her life, the one thing she refuses to let go of, is her brother, Owen p>
Helena’s frown deepened sharply. “You want me to go after Owen? But Jarred has his men guarding him around the clock and the patriarch’s men are there too. I can’t possibly II
“No Celeste shook her head, whispering her poisonous advice in the softest tone.
“Owen is already in critical condition. He has no real leverage value left.
But as long as Owen still needs Sienna to take care of him and fight for him in this world p>
She will be absolutely terrified of anything happening to her. She would never dare gamble with her own life.
In other words… once Sienna is out of the picture, there will be no one left to protect Owen… Don’t you think that’s what terrifies her most p>
A sudden wave of clarity washed over Helena!
