Chapter 58
Chapter 58:
Helena was just about to wrap up today’s weather segment when, out of nowhere, a woman clad in extravagant designer attire and high heels stormed into the studio, visibly enraged.
She yelled as she entered, “Who’s the tramp trying to steal my husband p>
The entire studio crew froze in shock. Dominick quickly regained his composure and ordered someone to turn off the cameras—just moments too late.
The furious woman marched straight toward Helena and delivered a harsh slap across her face.
Helena stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
She had no idea who this woman was. But when the woman tried to slap her again, Helena swiftly caught her wrist mid-air.
With fiery eyes, the woman spat, “You shameless tramp! How dare you resist p>
Confused, Helena replied, “I don’t even know you. And you can’t just storm into a live broadcast like this p>
Taken aback by Helena’s composed response, the woman launched into a scathing rant.
“You don’t know me? I’m Cassandra Palmer. My husband is Laurence, the deputy manager of Nexus TV. You seduced him to secure your position as an anchor! I will expose your true colors to everyone watching p>
Helena was meeting Laurence’s wife, Cassandra, for the first time. It made sense now, as Laurence hardly ever allowed Cassandra to be seen with him in public.
At social events and professional meetings, he was always accompanied by a string of glamorous women.
Rumors had circulated that Cassandra’s humble origins were the reason Laurence kept her out of the spotlight. Instead of divorcing her, he preferred to maintain a distance, all in order to protect his image as a good husband.
Trying to calm Cassandra, Helena said, “Let’s just take a moment and breathe. I’m innocent of the accusations you’re throwing at me. We can even get Mr. Palmer here right now to sort this out directly p>
But Cassandra was beyond reason. She whipped out her phone and shoved photos in Helena’s face.
The images showed Laurence with his arms wrapped around a woman exuding allure as they entered a hotel. The woman resembled Helena, though she was shorter, contrasting with Helena’s taller stature.

The doctored images seemed convincing to Cassandra, who was unfamiliar with such deceptions.
Helena quickly recognized the malice behind the setup. Hoping to defuse the situation, she reassured Cassandra, saying, “These images are fake. I’ve never been to that place p>
As Helena attempted to point out the inconsistencies in the photos, she was interrupted when Cassandra, fueled by rage, lunged forward for another attack.
Just in time, Dominick and his team intervened to manage the situation. Visibly frustrated, Dominick questioned, “How did she get access? Isn’t security supposed to handle this p>
Cassandra sneered. “Seems like she’s charmed more than one man, right? Looks like you’re just another one tricked by her p>
Never before had Dominick faced such a confrontational situation, his face flushing with anger.
The uproar attracted a crowd from throughout the building, eager to witness the drama unfold.
“Is it true Helena and Laurence are involved p>
“His own wife came here to confront her, and she still denies everything? She really is shameless p>
Spectators from various departments murmured, some even pulling out their phones to capture the moment.
Knowing Helena’s true character, Tessa and several female colleagues felt compelled to step in. With great effort, they managed to subdue Cassandra and escorted her to a secluded lounge.
Helena’s appearance was disheveled, her once-pristine hairstyle now unruly and messy.
Feeling small under the scornful looks and whispered taunts, she straightened up and lifted her chin, determined to maintain her dignity.
“Why should I admit to things I’ve never done?” she exclaimed boldly, her eyes fierce. “I am the victim here, and I refuse to be silenced.” Her gaze met those of the whispering onlookers, challenging them directly.
