The Divorcee Amazed the World

Listening to such a formal address, Helena still felt a bit uncomfortable. She politely said, “Thank you, go and rest. You’ve worked hard.”

“Not at all. You also rest well,” the person replied before leaving.

Helena took out her keys from her bag and was about to open the door when she noticed that the door, which had been locked, was now open. Someone had entered.

A chill ran down Helena’s spine, and she hurriedly pushed the door open.

To her surprise, there were suddenly three big men inside.

Sitting on a shabby sofa against the wall was a remarkably handsome and imposing man. Two bodyguards stood beside him.

Willis had actually come!

Helena could hardly believe her eyes.

After dinner, she called him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

At that time, he didn’t mention coming, only advising her not to work too late and to get some rest.

Unexpectedly, he had flown over during the night to find her.

Helena was thrilled for a moment, her heart feeling a mix of sour and sweet emotions, a myriad of feelings washing over her.

The tightly held emotions suddenly softened.

A multitude of grievances wanted to rush through her throat, to tell him everything.

It was that feeling when you endure grievances outside, pretending to be strong, but once you return home and see the person you love the most, all pretenses melt away, revealing the vulnerability and tenderness within.

Helena’s eyes reddened, and she walked towards Willis.

She wanted to throw herself into his arms, let him hold her, comfort her, and seek solace.

This kind of comfort was something only he could provide.

When Helena was about to reach Willis, he stood up, glanced over her, looked at Jay and the bodyguard outside, his expression cold and indifferent, radiating a chilling aura.

However, his words were directed at Helena, “You traveled thousands of miles to come here, using the excuse of restoring paintings, just to have a secret meeting with him? Even my bodyguard has been bribed by you; quite impressive.”

A thunderous noise echoed in her mind!

Helena’s steps halted, staring at Willis in disbelief.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment and grievances.

There were a thousand words stuck in her throat, but she couldn’t utter a single one.

She and Jay were innocent, so how did it turn into a secret meeting?

The bodyguard was not bribed by her; he begged her out of fear of punishment.

She just did a small favor.

Helena struggled to mask her inner disappointment, sadness, and grievances with dignity.

The anger in her eyes was quickly concealed by the forced pride.

Various emotions crowded her face, and her expression trembled slightly.

To others, it was a nearly helpless state.

Observing Helena’s seemingly helpless and wronged appearance from a distance, Jay’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

He sarcastically said, “She was almost violated, and as her husband, is this your attitude?”

Willis frowned, “What do you mean?”

Jay coldly said, “While your bodyguard was away buying cigarettes, someone broke in and harassed her. If I hadn’t happened to pass by, something bad would have happened!”

Every word in this sentence was like a heavy bomb detonating in Willis’s ears.

He was infuriated, his eyebrows twitching several times. His jaw clenched and then relaxed.

His fist tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand became visible.

Everyone in the room could sense his emotions reaching a critical point.

A touch-and-go situation.

After taking a few deep breaths, Willis gritted his teeth and spoke in a harsh tone, “Where is he?”

Jay calmed his emotions, saying indifferently, “He’s already been taken to the town’s police station. Local guy named Mike, a repeat offender. Imprisoned for three years a few years ago for rape, released two years ago. I suspect there might be someone behind him; you have many connections, send someone to investigate.”

Suppressing his anger, Willis said, “Understood.”

Jay acknowledged with a nod and turned to leave.

Once the door was closed, Willis suddenly raised his hand and threw it towards the bodyguard behind Helena.
