Chapter 260
Chapter 260:
As Alden entered, his arm instinctively swung around, nearly settling on Helena’s shoulders. In the blink of an eye, he jerked his hand away as if it had touched fire. He edged away a bit, creating a small gap between them.
Helena noticed and dipped her head, biting back a chuckle. She sensed his eyes on her, so she fished out her phone and tapped out a quick message:
“Even the great Mr. Wilson has his sneaky moments, huh p>
Alden kept a straight face. Once the reporters were shown their places, he took out his phone like it was no big deal and began to type.
The people nearby, catching sight of his focused expression, figured he was answering some top-secret message about a huge business deal worth millions. But in reality…
Moments later, Helena’s phone gave a quiet buzz. She unlocked it and saw Alden’s response:
“Who do you think I’m sneaking around for? Heartless p>
He even added a little scolding emoji after that childish jab.
Helena burst out laughing before she could stop herself. If anyone had a clue that icy, no-nonsense Alden had sent that text, they’d be completely stunned.
The press event kicked off not long after. Following a string of questions from others, Helena finally got her chance. She didn’t waste time—her questions were direct and hit the points that mattered most to investors.
Dorian had done his homework. He handled each question calmly and confidently. Genie TV, being a smaller outlet, had only been given a short slot for asking questions.
As she wrapped up her last one, Helena jumped at the opportunity. “I still have many questions for Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wilson. If I may, I’d like to request an exclusive interview with both of you p>
The moment she stopped speaking, Alden froze for a second, caught off guard. Helena usually chose to be independent. So why was she suddenly—
Before he could finish the thought, his phone vibrated with a message from Helena. “I’ve thought it through. Even if we can’t go public with our relationship yet, I should still make use of my connections when I can. Besides, compared to other reporters, I can guarantee the interview will be fair and objective—and it’ll be good publicity for Star Wish Investments. It’s a win-win, right p>
As Alden read her words, a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. His eyes lit up with a flicker of pride. Helena was really starting to come into her own.

There was nothing wrong with grabbing a good chance when it showed up. If you wanted to move forward in life, you had to squeeze every drop out of what you had. At last, Helena had come to realize that.
“Ms. Ellis p>
Alden lowered his phone and, just like that, slipped back into his cool, professional persona.
He spoke to Helena formally, his voice low and steady. “An exclusive interview with Mr. Morrison and myself isn’t something easily granted. A lot of the information is sensitive and can’t be shared publicly. If you’re aiming for a deeper interview, you’ll need to sign a confidentiality agreement with our legal department first. And if anything leaks, you’ll be held fully accountable p>
