She wasn’t angry at Belinda, she was angry at herself.
Why did she have to make that ‘congratulatory‘ call to Josephine?
Now she had to make an ‘apology‘ call as well.
“Josie, that’s what happened… Belinda is still young, her character isn’t firm enough, it’s all that Helena’s fault, deliberately competing with you…”
Josephine had never placed her hopes on Belinda, so her tone remained calm.
“I won’t care about things that are taken from me, and you shouldn’t take it to heart either.”
After Zoey finished her call with Josephine and turned around, she saw Helena standing there smugly with her arms crossed.
“Was that a call to Josephine? Did you tell her that the necklace her daughter was going to give her is now around my neck?”
“I really have to thank you, Zoey, for stabbing Josephine in the back for me.”
Zoey felt even more guilty toward Josephine.
Without thinking, she lashed out at Helena with some very harsh words:
“You reap what you sow, Ms. Pollard. With all your nasty tricks, be careful your future children are born without an anus.”
Who could tolerate someone cursing their future children like that?
Helena instantly exploded like a firecracker, demanding that Zoey take back what she said and say, “Don’t let it come true.”
The child she would have with Wilfred had to be healthy.
But Zoey refused to take it back.
She didn’t believe Helena would dare tell Wilfred about stealing Josephine’s birthday present.
In the midst of their endless argument, Helena’s phone, left in the ward, kept vibrating.

Seeing that Helena hadn’t come back for a long time. Belinda asked the nurse to bring her the phone so she could answer it.
“Hello, my Auntie Helena isn’t here right now…”
The woman on the other end of the line abruptly stopped crying and said urgently:
“You’re Wilfred’s daughter, right? Tell Helena to bring twenty million to my house to save me.
She knows who I am. This is a matter of life and death, don’t you dare forget…”
Beep… beep, the call was cut off.
Belinda felt utterly baffled.
When Helena came in, she saw that Belinda was holding her phone.
She immediately became as tense as if facing a formidable enemy.
Forcing herself to appear calm, she walked over to check the call log on her phone.
A minute ago, there had been a call with the number ending in 6745, lasting 26 seconds.
This meant that Belinda had answered Elara’s call.
Helena felt a pang of guilt, swallowed hard, and forced a stiff smile as she asked Belinda:
“Sweetheart, did the scammer scare you?”
Belinda shook her head and asked innocently, “Auntie Helena, how did she know who I am?”
“Because… because you’re smart and adorable, and you’re the little princess of the Hayden family. It’s perfectly normal for people to know you. You definitely wouldn’t fall for a scam, right?”
Belinda was completely reassured by Helena’s coaxing, and didn’t suspect the call at all.
She recounted the entire conversation to Helena, word for word.
Helena was on the verge of losing her mind.
She felt that sooner or later, Elara would drive her to the edge of a cliff.
A couple of days ago, Elara had asked to borrow ten million to help her fiance. Helena refused and even gave Elara a good scolding.
But Elara was completely blinded by greed and didn’t listen to a single word.

Now the ten million had turned into twenty million. It was easy to guess that Elara had probably gone back to gambling.
