Chapter 433
Chapter 433:
Liliana immediately prevented Natalie from making the call. The idea that Helena might push her away even more left Natalie feeling confused and powerless. Her usual sharpness and good judgment seemed to vanish, making her easily swayed.
Liliana texted Helena. Without waiting for a response, she told Natalie that Helena had agreed.
Determined to fix things, Natalie decided to head to the kitchen and cook dinner herself.
At the same time, Helena asked Xavier to make a quick stop at the project base. She stayed on the line with the person in charge, going over the specifics of the situation.
After hearing the detailed report, Helena had a full picture of what had happened. She asked for a list of the influencers involved, then went online to check their accounts and content.
After going through the accounts, she singled out three with the largest followings and the most balanced, unbiased content. People like that had real pull—if they spoke out, it could do wonders for clearing Star Wish Investments’ name.
Their posts also showed they had a sense of fairness in their character. Their criticism of Alden probably wasn’t driven by true hatred—they might even be feeling some guilt now. That made it much simpler to win them over and get them on her side.
With her plan set, Helena told Xavier to have someone from Star Wish Investments’ PR team contact each of these influencers.
Once the first step was taken care of, their car pulled up near the base. Helena had barely gotten out of the car when she spotted two familiar faces.
It was Rylan and Maisie—she hadn’t run into them for a while now.
“Helena, how are you p>
Rylan greeted her from his wheelchair. His skin looked almost ghostly pale, probably from being cooped up too long, and he appeared weak and dark-eyed. Maisie, who was pushing his wheelchair, threw Helena a cold, mocking look.
Helena had been trying to figure out who was behind the smear campaign. When she saw them both, everything suddenly made sense. Helena took a sip of her coffee, glanced down at Rylan with a cool stare, and said with a slight smirk, “Thanks for your concern, Rylan. I’m perfectly fine. But p>
Her gaze purposely shifted to his broken legs as she went on, “But it looks like your legs aren’t doing too great p>

“How dare you!” Maisie’s face flushed with anger at the dig aimed at her son.
On the other hand, a sneer formed on Rylan’s face. “Maybe you should be worrying about Alden’s ears instead of my legs. Tsk, how long has he been in Corland? A week? He’s been gone so long—maybe he won’t ever return. Maybe he’ll die alone in some far-off country, and no one will even care p>
Helena remained silent. Her face stayed the same, but her fingers gripped the coffee cup harder.
Rylan noticed her reaction and, with a smug look, kept going. “Even if he does come back, he’ll probably be deaf. Then, Helena, you’ll be stuck living like a widow, even though your husband is still alive. Wait, what are you p>
