Chapter 506:
When Helena heard that, she breathed easier. “Leonino really does have a kind and open heart p>
“Exactly! Leonino’s always been a good son. I was blind before, always causing him pain p>
A wave of sadness hit Savannah as memories from the past flooded back.
Valeria quickly jumped in to soothe her, saying, “Don’t get stuck on that. Leonino never held it against you p>
Savannah gave a small smile and changed the subject, showing she cared about Helena. “Helena, I heard your mom hasn’t been feeling well lately p>
Helena’s mind always carried worry for Natalie’s health. She let out a soft sigh and answered, “Back then, my mom was so stressed looking for me that it really took a toll on her health. After years of treatment, she’s improved somewhat, but she still has flare-ups now and then p>
Savannah pressed on. “Is her adopted daughter Liliana the one looking after her now p>
Helena nodded but clearly didn’t want to talk much about Liliana.
Savannah gave Helena’s hand a gentle squeeze and said, “I haven’t met Liliana myself, but Valeria’s told me enough to know she’s a tricky one. In the world of the rich, things get messy fast. When a fortune’s at stake, how many people stay straight? Helena, you’re honest and don’t chase after money or fame, but not everyone plays by those rules p>
She leaned in with a warning. “You really need to keep an eye on Liliana p>
Helena blinked, caught off guard by Savannah’s sincere words. Though it was unexpected, she felt moved and smiled softly. “I get what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan already.” Helena spoke with quiet confidence, calm and steady, which put Savannah’s mind at ease.
Helena paused briefly, then handed Savannah an invitation. “Liliana and I are throwing a birthday party in a few days. You should come by and grab some cake p>
“Absolutely!” Savannah said with a smile and turned to Valeria to see if she’d join too.
Valeria leaned casually on Helena’s shoulder, eyebrow raised and grinning. “If she doesn’t invite me, I’ll crash that party and make a scene at her place p>

The three of them burst out laughing again.
Even with Gregg’s interruption, the meal had been pretty pleasant overall.
When they finished, they stepped out of the restaurant together, just as a luxury car flashed its headlights at them.
The car door swung wide, and Dorian stepped out with a slow, confident air. He hooked his sunglasses onto the neck of his casual tee, radiating smooth charm.
The moment Valeria showed up, Dorian’s gaze locked on her, and he ignored everyone else. He walked right over, ready to sling his arm around her shoulders.
“Cut the hugging! People are watching,” Valeria said, pulling away with a grin. Dorian glanced aside and spotted Savannah.
Savannah smiled knowingly, clutching Valeria’s bag, a clear sign of their close bond.
