He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 296

The officer cleared his throat. "Mrs. Hayes is a suspect in an attempted murder and needs to cooperate with our investigation. However, due to her pregnancy, we cannot place her in custody at this time. We will need to monitor her movements 24/7 to ensure she doesn't flee."

Carter Miles swiftly stepped forward. "Please, follow me."

"Understood," the officer replied promptly, following the assistant down the hall.

With law enforcement on the scene, the crowd of onlookers was finally dispersed.

Crime scene tape was strung across the corridor.

Helena was now officially a murder suspect.

Because jail was off the table, they secured the electronic ankle monitor to her leg.

It would track her every move, tethering her to the law.

Throughout the entire process, Sebastian watched with a darkened expression.

The second the device was locked in place, he turned to his bodyguards. "Take her to the Hayes Estate. Lock her down."

The Hayes Estate. Not their private villa.

It was the place she had feared most during her five years of marriage.

Every memory of Grace's psychological torture was rooted in those walls.

All because she had failed to produce an heir.

Because Grace despised the lowly girl brought in to fix the family's luck.

Because her bloodline wasn't elite enough.

What did it matter if Grandpa adored her?

He was an old man; his affection could only protect her so much.

Being banished there now... her fate was sealed.

But she was completely powerless to fight back.

Her body had nothing left to give.

As the guards hauled her to her feet, she turned to look at Sebastian, her gaze eerily calm.

He noticed it, standing in stoic, brooding silence.

He wanted to see what kind of pathetic lie she could possibly spin now.

But the quiet resolve in her eyes made him frown.

It was an unsettling sensation.

She looked far too innocent.

She bore the exact expression of someone wrongfully condemned.

She held his gaze, her voice weak but unshakable.

"Sebastian. I didn't do this. Janetta did..." she breathed out, spacing out every word.
