Chapter 500
Chapter 500:
“You’ve got some nerve!” Henrik snapped, anger flaring.
But the man’s height—and the cool, dangerous energy surrounding him—made Henrik rethink his stance. Hesitantly, Henrik turned away, his pride wounded, and disappeared into the rain without another word.
“Henrik, what took you so long p>
At the doorway of her family’s villa, Liliana stood waiting, her arms crossed and curiosity etched across her face.
Henrik shot her a glance, irritation from earlier still clinging to him. “It’s pouring out there. What did you expect—perfect traffic p>
“I wasn’t accusing you. Just asking. Why are you yelling?” Liliana replied, pushing out her lower lip in a pout, trying to lighten the moment instead of arguing.
That snapped Henrik out of his frustration. He quickly adjusted his tone, realizing now wasn’t the time to upset her. “Come on, you know I’d never yell at you. It’s just that driving Helena home felt like pulling teeth. The whole thing got under my skin. That’s all p>
His words brought an immediate sparkle to Liliana’s eyes. Hearing his irritation aimed at Helena filled her with satisfaction.
Seeing her pleased, Henrik leaned in a little and lowered his voice, saying, “You won’t believe what I saw before I left p>
Liliana perked up. “Tell me p>
“A guy showed up right outside her place. Hooded. Tall. Carried an umbrella like some hero in the rain. Looked a bit like Alden, if you squint. And the two of them? Practically glued together under that umbrella before I even pulled away p>
Disgust dripped from Henrik’s voice as he recalled the sight.
Liliana gave a sharp little laugh, twisting her lips into a smug smile. “Sounds like my sweet sister’s trying to fill the Alden-shaped hole with a knockoff p>
Spite brimming beneath her calm expression, she wasted no time. By morning, the whispers had already begun—rumors painting Helena as a girl keeping a lookalike lover to soothe her grief.
Helena’s marriage to Alden and her connection to the Harrison family hadn’t been common knowledge. She was just a regular news anchor, so her private life flew under the radar.
That was why, when Liliana started spreading rumors that Helena was seeing someone who looked like Alden, it barely caused a ripple and soon got lost among other entertainment and social stories.

But Liliana wasn’t ready to drop it. She had social media stars dig up Helena’s old interviews with Alden.
Those interviews had already sparked a storm of online mockery against Helena once. Now, with those stories resurfacing and the new twist of her boyfriend looking like Alden, the chatter flared up once more.
The internet buzzed nonstop.
“This woman still couldn’t move on from Mr. Wilson, so she went and found someone who looks just like him p>
