Chapter 326-Not Trusting Men!
Helanie:
My fists clenched tightly, tears starting to itch my eyes, but I swore I wouldn’t cry. I wouldn’t cry for a boy.
"Good. Just make sure she is crazy enough for you that she ruins the ceremony. I want that witch out of your father’s life. And once she is defeated by her own daughter, you will throw Helanie out of the mansion just to impress your father and get back on his good side. Remember, we don’t want to ruin your relationship with your father. So when he gets devastated, you will say—" She was cunningly trying to feed Maximus with plans, and he was happily obeying her.
"I will say, ’Dad, I thought I would be happy to have Helanie. But after seeing you sad, I have decided I don’t want her here. The one who couldn’t even watch her mother being happy can never make me happy.’ Is that correct?" There was a weird exhaustion in his tone as if his mother had spoken far too many times about this plan to him.
"Yes, correct," she sounded relieved after her son confirmed he had made a perfect fool out of me.
I stepped away from his door and then sprinted downstairs, so horrified by what I had heard that I didn’t even realize I had bumped into none other than my mother.
"What are you doing running around like that?" Emma appeared from behind her, already yelling at me under her breath. She would definitely take her anger out on me for the last day.
"I am sorry," I kept my eyes down, so drained of energy and love that I couldn’t fight back. This is why I never wanted to fall in love with anyone. I couldn’t focus on my revenge when I was having a heartbreak.
"Wait a minute," Emma quickly grasped my arm to stop me. Of course, she saw right through me. She realized I was hurting, and she had to get back at me when I was at my lowest.
