Chapter 529:
Helena tossed her hair with a sneer and said sharply, “Delaney is just a woman. How much money could she really have? If you’re willing to give me the land, sure, I’ll gladly let go of her small fortune p>
Noticing her arrogant and scornful attitude, Zayden felt even more confident. He was sure Helena wouldn’t be able to seize any business opportunities if he handed her the land. Once she failed, he could take it back without much effort.
So, Zayden didn’t waste any more time and made up his mind. “Fine. It’s a deal p>
He was convinced that Delaney and Alden had already been swallowed by the sea and was ready to claim Delaney’s valuable property. Right there, in front of Helena, he called his assistant Michael and told him to start the land transfer immediately.
Michael moved swiftly, and within moments, he had the paperwork ready.
Helena didn’t hesitate; she signed right away and handed Zayden the contract, giving up Delaney’s property.
Zayden went over the papers carefully, found no issues, and walked away feeling victorious.
But even happier than him were Helena and Alden. They had truly secured the land. As for Delaney’s inheritance… Delaney was very much alive and well, so there was no inheritance to speak of.
The contract Zayden held was nothing but smoke and mirrors.
At last, one problem was solved. Alden and Helena let out a breath of relief. They shared a quick look, but before they could fully savor their happiness, Dario’s call came through again.
“Is my father…” Helena blurted out as soon as she swiped to answer.
Dario cut in immediately, not wanting her to fret for even a second. “Don’t worry, Helena. Your father’s awake, but he’s still too weak to talk p>
“That’s great! Thank heavens!” Helena nearly cried, but held back when she noticed the people around her.
Since time was tight, Dario couldn’t console her any longer. He said to Alden instead, “I’m bringing Helena’s father to the banquet now, but I can’t get through security without an invite. You’ll have to come get us p>
Alden was ready to agree but paused, uneasy about leaving Helena alone at the banquet.

Helena caught his doubt immediately and said firmly, “This is my parents’ place. Who could scare me? Don’t waste time. Go now.” Her eyes shone with resolve and confidence, easing Alden’s worries. He gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze and then walked off.
Meanwhile, all the guests at the banquet were completely captivated by the radiant Liliana.
Helena’s companion slipped away unnoticed—everyone except Henrik. From the moment Helena had shown up in that gorgeous gown, Henrik couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Now that the Harrison family’s fortune was firmly in his and Liliana’s grip, Henrik felt no reason to butter up Helena anymore. He saw himself as the one calling the shots, free to play with her however he wanted.
