Chapter 329:
Helena’s earlier concerns had proven right. The day after her segment aired, two of Genie TV’s four biggest sponsors announced they were pulling their ads and demanding compensation.
In a show meant to please Alden, both companies made their exits loud and public, spreading the impression that Genie TV was teetering on the edge.
Meredith, who had seen it coming, did not blame Helena at all.
Seeing her worried coworkers and watching Meredith pleading with businesses for new contracts, Helena couldn’t shake the guilt that crept in.
Just as the station buckled under the weight of the tension, an unexpected visitor walked into Helena’s office.
“Dorian? What are you doing here?” Helena stared at him in surprise.
Dorian responded with a carefree grin as he tossed a contract onto her desk. Helena blinked, stunned, as she flipped it open. Inside was a brand new advertising deal from Morrison Group.
“If you go through with this, how are you going to explain it to Alden?” Helena’s voice shook a little after she finished reading the terms.
After all, Dorian’s ties to Alden ran much deeper than anything he had with her.
“If I don’t step in now, it will be a whole lot harder to explain later,” Dorian answered, his tone unusually sincere. “Once he remembers everything, he’s going to regret it. He’ll come running back to you. I’m helping him, so when he’s down on his knees begging for forgiveness, maybe you won’t be so hard on him p>
His voice stayed light, almost playful, but Helena could tell he was genuinely considering what was best for Alden.
Besides, after the accident at Star Wish Investments’ mall, Dorian’s new shopping center under Morrison Group had easily stolen the spotlight. He had beaten Alden this time, but even he knew it was a hollow victory. Handing over the contract to the woman Alden cared for most was, in his own way, a small attempt to make things right.
Seeing his true intentions, Helena accepted the contract without another word. She had barely seen Dorian out the door when another visitor showed up—it was Dario.
Last time at the hospital, it was Dario whom Helena had called. She wanted him to dig into what had happened to Dominick. She hadn’t expected answers to come so quickly.

“Hey, don’t forget. I’m world-famous for a reason!” Dario teased lightly, noticing her surprise. Then his tone shifted as he explained, “That woman, Eleanino, was careless. Her methods couldn’t even stand up to basic scrutiny. Gathering evidence against her was easy p>
As he spoke, he handed Helena a file folder.
Inside was clear proof that Eleanino had deliberately tried to harm both her and Dominick. Helena gripped the folder with a serious expression and thanked Dario again.
“You don’t need to be so formal with me,” Dario said, settling himself comfortably onto the couch in the interview area. He gave her a curious glance. “So, what do you plan to do with that evidence? Are you going to pass it quietly to Alden p>
