Chapter216
But then he recalled how Helena had fooled him like an idiot, lying through her teeth, and he only frowned, remaining unmoved.
“Fred! Didn’t you say you would never let me get hurt again, that you would always protect me? I was forced by my mother, I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
Helena sobbed pitifully.
Wilfred said coldly, “Stop calling me Fred. I’m not your brother. From today on, there is nothing
between us.”
Yvonne, panting with rage, finally stopped and, holding her waist, told Rowan to get her some
ointment.
Seeing Wilfred’s icy, expressionless face, Helena instantly forgot all her pain.
She knelt down and crawled to Wilfred’s feet:
“Fred. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you, but I had my own difficulties. Please don’t drive me away. I just want to stay by your side, even if it’s only as a servant.”
Wilfred lowered his eyes to look at Helena.
When Helena met his gaze, she was so shocked she fell to the floor.
Wilfred had looked at her with those same eyes when he slapped Josephine in her defense.
Resolute, unfeeling.
Back then, Wilfred had been completely disappointed in Josephine. Now, he was completely disappointed in her
Helena was still making her final defense.
“The Novo Tech incident has nothing to do with me, it was Josephine… Gideon has been unreachable since yesterday, Josephine must have bribed Gideon and had him use the alias Jax to lure my mother… Fred, we’ve both been played by Josephine, she’s the real culprit.”
“Whether she’s the culprit or not, I have my own opinion. Lena, stop trying to clear yourself… Get out, and don’t ever say you know me again.”

If he didn’t drive Helena away, once his father took action, Helena would be left with no place to die.
This was the last time he would look out for Helena.
Wilfred waved Eugene over and had Helena dragged out of the hospital.
From the
age
of eight to seventeen, Helena had accompanied him for nine years, and even after she went abroad for six years, they had kept in touch.
He had thought that cutting ties with Helena would leave him feeling confused and conflicted.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he actually felt a strange sense of relief…
Yvonne spat toward the door and said bitterly:
“Letting her go like this is too easy on her. She should be sold to Africa, sold around the clock, to pay off our family’s debts.”
“Enough.” Korbin’s brows were furrowed as if cast in iron. “Helena’s punishment will have to wait.”
“Wilfred, come here, I have something to say.”
Wilfred supported Yvonne as they went to the reception tea room.
Yvonne rolled her eyes and said, “It’s all Josephine’s fault… You know, you’re good at everything, but why is your taste in women so bad? Each one is worse than the last.”
Wilfred was afraid of provoking his father’s anger, so he kept silent.
Rowan gave Yvonne a flattery–filled smile as he brought her a medicated patch, boasting that it would work instantly.
But the whole family looked lifeless, and no one paid Rowan any attention.
Rowan awkwardly withdrew.
Two caregivers were cleaning up the mess in the living room.
Korbin, Yvonne, and Wilfred were talking in the reception tea room.
Korbin rebuked Wilfred coldly: “You said before that you would handle Josephine’s competition with Novo Tech, but in the end, we lost Good Samaritan Shelter and the packaging factory, lost five hundred million, gave her time to invent two new technologies, and even let her defeat the super watch… Then there was the high heel incident and now this thing with Helena’s mother.
