The Divorcee Amazed the World

Chapter 14: Helena fight back(2)



Money is a good thing, but sometimes, giving money is a kind of veiled insult.

She pushed the card back, saying, “Tell him I don’t need money.”

“Mr. Santana insists that you take it. He asked me to convey a message: appearances can be deceiving, and whatever decision you make, he agrees.”

“I understand.”

After the person left, she sat silently for a while, then got up to pack her things and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

As she stepped outside, she ran into the pitiable Susan, dressed in all white, holding a bouquet of white roses.

In a soft voice, Susan said, “Helena, can we talk?”

Helena restrained her emotions, looked at her indifferently for a few seconds, and said, “Fine.”

The two went to a nearby western restaurant.

After sitting down, Susan placed the flowers on the table.

Fondly caressing the velvety rose petals, she said with a happy face, “I didn’t expect Willis to be so romantic. Early in the morning, he sent someone to deliver flowers to me. After three years, he still remembers that I love white roses the most. Twenty roses represent unwavering love.”

Helena had mixed feelings.

They had been married for three years, and on every holiday, Willis had only given her a card, not even a single flower.

It turned out he wasn’t ignorant of romance; he just wasn’t willing to be romantic with her.

Twenty roses, unwavering love. Their love would never change. So touching.

The waiter brought coffee to the table.

Susan picked up a spoon and stirred her coffee slowly, saying coquettishly, “Willis and I grew up together, and he has always taken care of me…”

Helena took a sip of her coffee and said calmly, ” Could you get to the point? I’m busy, and I don’t have time for your nonsense.”

Susan shrugged, “So, Helena, you do have a temper. You just hide it well in front of Willis, good at pretending.”

Helena sneered, “I am still Willis’s wife. You invaded my home, hugged my husband, and kissed him. If I didn’t splash coffee on your face, it’s because of my good upbringing. Please don’t test my patience.”

“Wow,” Susan stuck out her tongue, making a surprised expression, “Helena, you look like a mother tiger in this state.”

Helena’s hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly; she really wanted to splash it on Susan’s face.

After waiting for a while and not seeing Helena pour coffee on her, Susan felt a bit disappointed.

Having set a trap for Helena, and seeing her not falling into it, Susan could only resort to the next move.

Staring straight at Helena’s face, Susan said, “Helena, you’re a smart person. Seeing my appearance, you should be able to guess that you are a substitute arranged by Willis. Now that the real person is here, shouldn’t you leave?”

“The real person?” Helena wanted to laugh. “didn’t you lack education, or are you legally blind? Willis and I are a legally married couple, protected by the law. I am the real person.”

Susan clicked her tongue twice, mocking, “So, Helena, you do have a temper. You just didn’t show it in front of Willis, trying to act noble.”

Helena straightened her back, “As long as we are together, you can’t act arrogantly.”

Susan snorted, playing her trump card, “Three years ago, you married Willis for ten million. I’ll give you double.”

She took out a check from her wallet and slapped it on the table, “This is twenty million. Please take the money and leave him immediately!”

Helena casually glanced at the check and said, “When I married Willis back then, it wasn’t solely for money.”

Susan burst into laughter, “Playing innocent and righteous, how hypocritical of you.”

Helena pressed her lips, looking at her with a cold gaze, truly wanting to slap her.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

With a contemptuous tone, Susan said, “Three years ago, your grandmother suffered from uremia and urgently needed a kidney transplant. Your family even sold the house, scraping the bottom of the barrel. You only joined Mr. Willis for a few years, yet you’ve forgotten your own background? Just a wild girl crawling out of a poor mountain valley. No matter how high you climb, you can’t change your impoverished appearance!”

She pushed the check forward arrogantly, lifting her chin with a condescending tone, “Take it. Don’t pretend to be high and mighty!”

Surprisingly, Helena remained calm.

Glancing at the seal on the check, she said faintly, “Did you ask your father for this check? When you needed money, did you have to beg quite a bit? Does your whole family support you being a homewrecker? What a peculiar family. What’s the use of your family’s wealth? It still can’t cover up your ugly hearts.”

Susan’s face turned red and then pale, “You’re talking nonsense!”

Helena stood up, looking down at her, “I restore antique books and paintings. If I wanted to make money, it wouldn’t be difficult. Three years ago, if I didn’t marry Willis, I could still earn ten million with my own hands.”

She grabbed the check and threw it at Susan’s face, “Take your money. Stay wherever you feel comfortable; don’t come out and disgust people!”

The check hit Susan’s face, infuriating her!

She suddenly lunged at Helena, reaching out to grab her face!

But just in the nick of time, a figure rushed out from the side, grabbed Susan, and delivered a hearty beating to her face!
