Seeing that, Martha stepped forward and took her arm.
"Miss Moore, it's just a little thing for us to do. We are glad to help."
"Really?"
Helen looked up at Martha with disbelief in her big eyes.
Martha smiled and nodded. "We're all from the same country, and we can't just sit by and do nothing when we see you in trouble."
"Thank you so much!"
Helen looked at them with tears in her eyes, grateful for their help.
What she just said was true. She did want to go back home.
It was just that she had a ulterior motive - to let this man fall in love with her.
In fact, based on her understanding of her uncle and aunt, they probably had squandered her parents' property.
But if she could hook up with this powerful and rich man, she would live an affluent life for the rest of her life.
After years of wandering around outside, all she wanted was to lead a secure life with nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Helen secretly looked at Stefan who stood upright and a hint of affection flitted across her face.
"All men are alike anyway. My looks are no worse than Martha's. I'm even younger than she is! As long as I put some effort, Stefan will be mine sooner or later!" Helen thought.
At this time, Martha didn't notice anything wrong, but just felt Helen was a pitiful girl.
Melissa also felt sympathy for Helen, but at the same time, she noticed Helen looking at Stefan with some kind of passion and realized Helen was not as innocent as she looked.
She glanced sideways at Martha, pursed her lips, and didn't say much.
She hoped that she was thinking too much.
It didn't take long for Alfie and his men to appear in the lobby, Darrell and his men being held down.
While being controlled, Darrell looked at Stefan in horror, "You... who the hell are you!"
Stefan glanced at him indifferently, without any intention of explaining.
Instead, Alfie waved his hands to signal for his subordinates to take Darrell and his men away, then walked up to Stefan in a flattering manner, and said respectfully, "Mr. Harrison, I will take care of them. I wish you a pleasant journey here."
"Is this girl from your hotel?" Stefan glanced at Helen expressionlessly, and asked in a cold voice.
Alfie turned to look at the girl standing not far away, obviously stunned, "Yes, she's my hotel's barmaid."
"Miss Moore, we're still on a journey. What..."
Before she finished speaking, Helen hurriedly interrupted her, "I'll go with you all."
Helen's reaction made Martha believe that Helen lacked a sense of security and worried about being abandoned again.
But what she didn't know was that Helen wanted to follow along, just to have more opportunities to be with Stefan.
And so, the group set off together for the next attraction.
During the trip, Helen had been acting timid. It was obvious that she was afraid of being left behind by everyone else.
Later, after spending an afternoon together, she slowly behaved less timidly.
She would sweetly smile at Martha and talked with a pleasant voice.
"Martha, don't call me Miss Moore. Just call me Helen."
"Okay," Martha responded with a smile, and continued walking hand in hand with Jimmy.
Jimmy didn't feel uncomfortable at all about having a new member join them. On the contrary, he liked Helen very much.
