Since he was already drunk, he might as well act even drunker.
He shifted his body inward and patted the spot beside him, saying:
“Josie, come up. I’ll share half my bed with you.”
St. Estella Hospital.
Yvonne brought trouble upon herself; when she slapped Josephine, she strained her own aging back.
The pain was so intense she couldn’t move.
But the moment she saw Helena kneeling in the living room, tearfully confessing her mistakes to Korbin, she instantly forgot all her pain.
She rushed over, grabbed Helena by the shoulder, and slapped her twice across the face.
Helena screamed in shock and pain.
“Auntie, Auntie, please calm down, it wasn’t my fault!”
“You wretch, if it wasn’t your fault, whose was it? I must have been blind to think you were sweet and obedient. Turns out you’re just a sly little fox… Just as low as your whore of a mother.”
Yvonne slapped Helena again, spat at her, and continued to curse:
“The only reason you seduced my Fred was to support your whore of a mother… Wilfred may be soft–hearted toward you, but I am not. All the money spent on you over the years, you will have to pay it all back to me.”
Korbin couldn’t bear to watch Yvonne’s shrewish tirade.
He turned his head away.
Normally, he would have felt that Yvonne’s behavior was a disgrace to his reputation.
But today, he only felt that Yvonne’s scolding was far too mild.
Helena had made fools of their whole family, causing Novo Tech to indirectly lose billions twice-

her crimes were unforgivable, and she deserved to die.

Even if she and her mother were chopped up and sold piece by piece, it would never make up for Novo Tech’s losses.
He would not let those two women off easily; he was not one to make a losing deal…
The more Yvonne hit Helena, the angrier she became.
She glanced around the living room, grabbing whatever she could find–vases, ashtrays, books–and hurled them at Helena.
Helena’s screams of agony rang out again and again.
The commotion was so loud it woke Belinda, who was sleeping in her hospital room.
She asked irritably, “Zoey, what’s that noise outside?”
Zoey, who had been leaning against the doorframe watching the drama, quickly closed the door when she heard Belinda call her.
The VIP hospital room was spacious, and its soundproofing was top–notch.
Once the door was closed, Belinda could no longer make out the sounds of fighting and shouting
outside.
Zoey coaxed her, saying, “They’re just putting on a skit outside… Belinda, let me read you a picture book.”
Belinda retorted bluntly, “Zoey, you don’t know many words, do you?”
Zoey was taken aback. “Then you read to me, Belinda.”
Belinda was speechless. “I don’t know many either.”
Zoey compromised and said:
“Let’s read together… The words you don’t know, I know; the ones I don’t know, you know. Together, we can definitely finish a book.”
Anyway, the point was to keep her from hearing the commotion outside, and to stop her from pleading for Helena…
In the living room, Helena was soaked all over–scalded by a teapot.
Yvonne had thrown the teapot at her.

Her skin immediately made a hissing sound.
It was as if a red–hot branding iron had been splashed onto her body.

Her entire arm, chest, waist, and thigh were covered in huge blisters, the pain twisting her face into a grimace.
Her head, too, was bleeding from being struck by a vase, her forehead a shocking red.
Belinda’s attending physician, Rowan, was afraid someone might die.
He came over to stop Yvonne: “Yvonne, calm down. Let’s talk this out.”
Yvonne snapped at Rowan: “If you ever had to deal with such a lowly woman, let’s see if you could stay calm!”
Rowan immediately fell silent.
He used to think Helena was articulate, gentle, and sensible–the type every man liked.
But after seeing today’s news about the Hayden family…
