He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 254

Unable to maintain her composure, Janetta let out a shrill scream. "Seb!"

The desperate outburst drew the attention of nearby guests, but no one dared to intervene.

Instead, they lowered their heads, whispering furiously among themselves.

It was a stark contrast to how untouchable Janetta used to be when she had Sebastian's favor. Now, she looked pathetic.

Despite the scene she was causing, Sebastian didn't even glance back.

He stopped right in front of Helena, his brows furrowed in a perfect display of husbandly concern.

"Why were you in the restroom for so long?" he asked, his voice dripping with fabricated tenderness.

"I wasn't feeling well, so it took a bit longer," Helena replied coolly.

Her tone remained entirely detached.

To the onlookers, it looked like a powerful man desperately trying to coddle his aloof wife.

Sebastian didn't miss a beat. "What's wrong? I'll take you to the hospital right now."

Helena just stared at him, a flicker of undisguised mockery in her eyes.

She knew exactly what he was doing. It was a calculated performance designed purely to mentally torture Janetta.

But on the surface, Helena played her part flawlessly.

Her voice softened, mimicking a woman deeply cherished by her man. "Okay."

Sebastian nodded, naturally wrapping a protective arm around her waist.

They began to walk away together.

"Seb!" Janetta snapped, abandoning all pretense of grace as she lunged toward them.

She moved so frantically that she tripped over her own heels.

Beau Sterling rushed forward, attempting to catch her.

But Janetta shoved him aside.

She clamped her hands desperately onto Sebastian's arm, completely disregarding her public image and shattered pride.

Her only thought was keeping him from leaving.

"Don't go," she sobbed, her voice breaking.

In the past, these tears would have instantly brought Sebastian to his knees.

But now...

Beau lowered his gaze, keeping his thoughts to himself.

His bodyguards immediately stepped in to confiscate phones and prevent the crowd from taking photos of the embarrassing spectacle.

Julian Campbell was the only one left standing nearby, his hands casually shoved into his pockets as he watched the drama with a wicked smirk.

"I thought as a public figure, you'd have the dignity to walk away when you're clearly unwanted. Guess I overestimated you... tsk, tsk," Julian taunted, offering zero mercy.

Even with Beau standing right there, Julian didn't hold back.

The surrounding crowd went dead silent.

Yet, amusement danced in everyone's eyes as they relished the scandalous gossip.

"Mr. Campbell, you..." Janetta glared at him, shaking with rage.

But there was absolutely nothing she could do to him.

For years, Janetta had built her career overseas. Thanks to Sebastian's influence, everyone in the industry treated her like royalty, throwing luxury endorsements at her feet.

Everyone except Julian.
