Chapter 453:
Though Natalie had been feeling under the weather lately, the moment the news reached her, she snapped into action. She quickly rallied the Harrison family’s networks, both in Corland and at home, using every resource she had to find Alden.
After giving her instructions, she sank into the sofa, letting out a deep sigh. “Helena seems to be meant for nothing but hardship,” she muttered, feeling defeated.
Liliana came over with a glass of water, sitting down beside her and offering some reassuring words. “Mom, Mr. Wilson is lucky and will surely make it. Don’t worry so much p>
Her words were better than silence, but Natalie could only give a tired nod in response. On the outside, Liliana appeared concerned, but inside, she couldn’t hide her satisfaction.
Helena’s only real worth to the Harrisons had been the man she’d married. Now, Alden’s plane was missing. Given how few people survived such accidents, the chances were slim that he would make it back.
If Alden were gone, what would Helena have left to hold onto?
Trying to test the waters, Liliana casually said, “A plane crash is no small thing. Mom, we should brace ourselves. If something really happens to Alden, what will Helena do then p>
“Exactly!” Kareem, oblivious to Liliana’s true meaning, added with genuine concern, “Helena is such an emotional girl. If Alden truly… really… I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it!” Liliana nodded, agreeing. “Dad’s right p>
She added, “The rest of the Wilson family has never gotten along with Alden. If something happens to him, they’ll be all over Star Wish Investments, and they’ll probably fight over his properties too. Helena doesn’t know the first thing about handling the ruthless world of family feuds. How could she possibly keep control of the empire Alden built p>
Liliana’s point was clear: Helena wouldn’t just fail to help the Harrison family; she might even bring trouble from the Wilson family, dragging them into a mess.
But Natalie wasn’t thinking that way at all.
She clenched her fist tightly and spoke sharply. “Hmph! I would never let my daughter get pushed around just because she lost her husband’s protection. The useless Wilsons are no threat! If they lay a finger on Helena, I’ll risk everything with the Harrison Group to make them pay!” The force in her voice left Liliana momentarily taken aback.

Natalie pressed on, “As for matters of the heart… If Alden is truly gone, we’ll just have to find someone even better for Helena. And if she’s too loyal to remarry, that’s fine. With all the resources of the Harrison family at her disposal, we can support her for as long as she needs!” This statement made Liliana feel like the ground had just dropped out from under her.
The evening news featured Helena as the anchor, reporting on the disappearance of Alden’s plane. She appeared on screen with flawless makeup, speaking in a calm, steady voice. But behind the scenes, her hands trembled so badly as she held the script that it almost got wrinkled.
Once the broadcast ended, Helena felt lightheaded but forced herself to leave the studio, walking as though nothing was wrong.
As soon as Helena stepped through the door, a furious voice blasted beside her. “Helena, what on earth is going on? A story as huge as Mr. Wilson’s missing plane, and you took full editorial control, only to deliver such a dull piece? Where’s the interview with his family? What about public opinion? You didn’t mention any of that! How do you expect us to get good ratings with this p>
