Chapter 531:
Helena’s chest tightened at the sight. “Mom, please—don’t force it. If you can’t remember, don’t push yourself so hard p>
She moved closer, slipping her arm gently around Natalie’s shoulder, her touch both protective and painfully soft. In that moment, Helena wished she could ease Natalie’s suffering—even if it meant giving up her mother’s love.
The sudden commotion in the far corner snapped everyone’s attention in that direction—including Liliana’s.
Catching sight of Natalie and Helena together, Liliana clicked over in her stilettos and shoved Helena aside, her tone sickly-sweet. “Mom’s not feeling well today. Please stop upsetting her, okay p>
With a flawless mask of filial devotion, Liliana inserted herself between them, determined to distance Helena from Natalie once again.
“You…” Helena bristled, about to snap back, but Liliana’s shrill voice cut her off.
“Martha! Martha, hurry! My mom isn’t well. Get the staff—help her to the back hall, now p>
Every servant in the house answered to Martha. The instant Liliana barked her command, several black-suited bodyguards swept in, gently but firmly supporting Natalie by the arms and steering her toward the exit.
Helena rushed to intervene, but before she could get a word out, a sharp voice cut through the chaos. “Hold it right there p>
The sudden sound pulled every gaze toward its source.
Striding into view were Helena’s “boy toy” and a striking young man, each shouldering the battered Kareem as they helped him forward, step by slow step.
The moment Kareem appeared, Liliana’s heart leapt into her throat. Her mind went completely blank. She barely realized what she was doing when she breathed out, almost pleading, “Dad p>
But Kareem’s face hardened, pain and fury warring in his eyes. He spat, “Fuck off. Don’t call me that! I have no daughter as cold-blooded as you p>
The effort of those words sent him into a fit of violent coughing. Helena hurried to steady him, slipping a hand beneath his elbow and coaxing him to catch his breath.
When Kareem finally managed to recover, he gave Helena’s hand a grateful squeeze—a quiet signal of comfort. Then, standing tall despite his weakness, he laid bare every one of Liliana’s dirty secrets for all to hear.

A shocked silence swept through the hall. Then the whispers began, rising into a tidal wave of disgusted murmurs and withering stares. Liliana wilted under the onslaught of public scorn, panic filling her eyes.
She frantically searched for Henrik, but the moment he sensed the shift in mood, he shrank back, looking for a way out. “Miss Harrison, please! Don’t look at me like that! If I’d known what kind of person you really were, I’d never have proposed in the first place p>
Without another glance at her, he disappeared into the crowd, fleeing in shame.
“Henrik Lawrence!” Liliana’s voice cracked with desperation, but he was already gone, his cowardly exit leaving her stranded.
