My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 458 Three Choices 

In the Donnelly Residence living room, Darrin stared at Helga, who was standing in the comer.

His anger had subsided, and he had contacted someone and thought of several solutions. When he sat back in the armchair, he noticed that Helga had already gotten up and was standing in the corner.

During the outburst, when he had hit, smashed, and kicked her, Helga’s evening gown been torn open in several places.

In his fit of rage, he hadn’t paid much attention. But now, Darrin’s gaze focused on the bruising and injuries on Helga’s chest. There were red and bruised marks on her chest, bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, and bruises all over her body.

Darrin, who was always into unconventional sexual practices, was suddenly turned on.

This idiot almost dragged me along to my death! If she wants to continue using my influence, she should pay the price for it. Darrin narrowed his eyes. After all, women like her are shameless. A bit of money. and they cling to you like leeches.

“You, come here.” Darrin beckoned.

Thinking that Darrin’s anger had subsided. Helga hurriedly took small steps forward. “Mr. Donnelly!”

“You nearly ruined me today.” Darrin leaned against the sofa with his arms outstretched. “You still remember our investment contract, don’t you, Helga? Strictly speaking, you’ve already breached it, and I can withdraw my investment and claim substantial compensation from you.”

“Mr. Donnelly, I’m so sorry! I will make amends, I promise!” Helga pleaded.

Darrin sneered, “I don’t need your amends now, but I can offer you three choices. How about that?”

“What choices?” Helga asked, looking at Darrin.

Darrin extended his fingers. “First, I withdraw my investment, and I no longer involve myself your affairs, but you’ll need to pay the breach of contract penalty. Second, I withdraw my investment, you won’t have to pay the penalty, but I won’t help you with the mica issue. anymore. You’ll go to jail, and you can start a new life after a few years.”

Helga looked at Darrin, disbelief in her eyes. “What’s the third choice? I choose number three!”

Darrin grinned. “The third choice is to become my mistress, but not just anyone mistress.”

Helga took no more than five seconds to make her decision. She had always wanted to marry into a wealthy family, and even if she didn’t marry, as long as she could leverage this opportunity, it was worth it.

“Deal!”

Darrin’s eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. “I said it’s not something anyone can do. To be my mistress, you have to satisfy all my demands.”

Helga nodded repeatedly. To her, it was just a matter of that, and she understood it.

Just being Darrin’s mistress, as opposed to the previous two options, seemed much better to her. Perhaps over time, Darrin might develop feelings for her, and he might leave Melodie to marry her. Even if that didn’t happen, it would still bring her many benefits.

“Mr. Donnelly, don’t worry, I-” Helga began.

“Take off your clothes,” Darrin interrupted her.

Helga was taken aback and looked toward the door where the house staff had resumed their duties, and there was a constant flow of male and female employees.

“Here, in front of them?”

“Yes, right here.”

Helga trembled.

Darrin grinned. “Like I said, I can let you off without making you pay money or getting involved in your affairs. The mica issue is something you brought upon yourself. You’ll spe a few years in prison, and when you get out, it’ll be a fresh start. So, do you choose this option?”

Helga closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and tugged the strap of her dress from around her neck resolutely. The dress fell, leaving her in just a bra and panties.

Darrin nodded. “Continue.”

Half an hour later…

While Darrin was still cooling off, Danna decided to retreat upstairs to tend to her redden face. She held an ice pack and carefully descended the spiral staircase, but midway down, heard a strange yet familiar sound.

Standing on the spiral staircase, Danna saw Darrin and Helga downstairs. foot resting on Helga’s fair skin while the golf club handle moved across her body.

Danna’s face stiffened, and the ice pack slipped from her hand.

Darrin turned to look when he saw Danna, but he didn’t react much.

“D-Darrin…”

“What’s the matter? Do you want to join in the fun?” Darrin chuckled, his gaze fixed on the dazed Helga on the floor.

“Why are you treating Helga like this?” Danna was seething with anger; her hatred for Darrin was immense, but she was still forced to depend on him.

She despised Helga for being such a fool, but she couldn’t just let her go since she needed to use the woman. Right now, this was the only thing she could say.

Darrin sneered, “I gave her a choice-either show some integrity and compensate or take responsibility for her own actions. She chose the latter. Why should I refuse?”

Danna stared at Helga, her eyes growing darker.

It was 7 p.m. when the young reporter posted a tweet discussing the recent controversy surrounding the alleged plagiarism of Wonder Aroma’s fragrance. Quickly, this tweet reached the top position on trending, accumulating countless likes and comments.

Even those who weren’t interested in perfumes or weren’t familiar with the situation. involving Freya and Helga couldn’t resist getting involved. It was all due to the compelling video, which was more fantastical than fiction.

The dialogue between Freya and Helga was clear and soon attracted the attention of peopl from various other industries. Phrases like ‘Helga’s selective quoting, ‘Helga’s plagiarism,’ ‘Helga’s mica incident, and ‘the mysterious backers Darrin and Melodie’ appeared as trend topics on Twitter.

When Freya originally removed the last part of the conversation where she threatened Helga, she didn’t cut out her first few slaps at Helga.

The netizens also deliberately commented

Yes! Now that’s more like it!

Freya, is your hand getting tired? She can do a few more slaps!” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Is it a borrowed hand? People like this should be slapped to death!”

Helga had persistently pushed the story of Wild Wood copying Bitter Blossom’s formula to the top of the trending list to get back at Freya. However, this time, she had ended up shooting herself in the foot.

The second trending topic was, ‘Boycott Fragrance Lab!”

Curious, Freya clicked into it. Most of the posts were about Helga’s character. People listed the top ten crimes attributed to Helga, including slandering and extorting money from a prominent medical professor, Freya, who had made significant contributions to human medicine.

Someone even provided a brief introduction about Freya, listing the good deeds she had done. This made Freya blush with a hint of embarrassment.

The third and fourth points covered some of her misdeeds. during her time on television shows and possible tax evasion from the past. People also raised concerns about her questionable character and association with Darrin.

In a sequence of ten points, they exposed all her wrongdoings. Darrin was the muck that got unearthed, and this stirred a clean response from netizens.

Donnelly Group was a well-known company in the country, with a highly successful line of personal care products, bringing in significant profits. Suddenly, several well-known shampoos and skincare products from the Donnelly Group were boycotted.

Freya wasn’t sure how long this boycott would last, but she believed that as long as she could clear her name and eliminate the false accusations against Wonder Aroma, it would be enough.
