Chapter 2: Family? No!
"Helena, we have been married for ten years already. Now, you are saying that you don't even consider my family as yours?" Vernon asked.
Helena calmly nodded. She felt that she doesn't have to justify her words. So, she did not say anything.
"Why haven't I seen your true face all these years?" Vernon asked in shock.
He had been married to her for ten whole years. Everyone around him had always warned him that she was a scheming woman, a two-faced bitch, and acted completely different when he wasn't around.
But he had trusted her too much. He trusted her so much that he had distanced himself from his friends and family trying his best to defend his wife.
"My true face? What exactly is my true face?" Helena was still as calm as ever as if they were talking about the weather and not about her familial relationship with her husband and his family.
"You!" Vernon did not have any words to scold his wife at all. He really felt frustrated enough to pull his hair but he did not so as not to damage his image.
Helena did not care about his frustration at all. She calmly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Me? What me?"
"Your true face is that of a scheming woman, who married me for my money and nothing else. You harmed everyone around me, closed my eyes to my surroundings and made me walk the wrong path," Vernon couldn't stand her being so calm anymore and shouted.
"If you are blind enough to not see your surroundings and misunderstand everyone around you, why would it be my fault? It clearly is your fault, right?" Helena sneered.
Vernon was exasperated at her audacity. She had done so much against him and now she was saying that all the fault lies with him? How could she?
