He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 513

"Sir, your vehicle is blocking mine," Helena said, gesturing to the Porsche behind her.

Upon locking eyes with her, a flash of surprise crossed Sebastian's face.

In that split second, she instantly reminded him of his late wife.

But he quickly discerned that the woman before him was not her; their facial features had subtle differences.

Still, the intensity in her eyes was hauntingly similar.

"My apologies," Sebastian replied, immediately masking his emotions behind a cold, detached facade.

The window rolled up, and the Land Rover swiftly pulled away.

Throughout the exchange, Helena remained silent, calmly stepping into her car and driving off.

Watching her taillights fade, Sebastian quickly dismissed the encounter from his mind.

Moments later, Carter Miles appeared, swapping seats with him to take the wheel.

"Did you find anything?" Sebastian asked his assistant.

Carter shook his head. "I can only confirm that Julian Campbell is married. The identity of his spouse is completely sealed. Even The Civil Affairs Bureau has no records—the Campbell family must have suppressed the files."

It was just like how the Hayes family held absolute power in Riverton.

The Campbell family operated with the same untouchable authority in Coralia.

If they didn't want you to find something, you wouldn't find a single trace.

Sebastian said nothing.

Carter steered the car toward their hotel.

Carter knew exactly what was weighing on his boss's mind.

What happened to Helena five years ago remained an insurmountable barrier in Sebastian's heart.

Even though Sebastian never spoke of it, Carter had served him long enough to recognize the subtle signs.

Helena's presence in Sebastian's soul had rooted itself far deeper than anyone realized.

That was precisely why, despite marrying Janetta, he had refused to hold a wedding.

He rarely even set foot in her apartment.

This arrangement deeply infuriated Janetta.

Glancing through the rearview mirror, Carter noticed that Sebastian didn't look the least bit pleased.

Though his expression remained as stoic as ever.

"Mr. Hayes..." Carter finally broke the silence. "Julian's marriage happened over a year after Madam passed. To take over his family's empire, their primary condition was that he had to be married. The entire industry knows this was a calculated move. If he actually loved his wife, he would have paraded her publicly by now."

Carter suspected it was either a strategic alliance or a hired bride.

A marriage of convenience didn't require public validation.

More precisely, there was zero benefit to exposing her identity.

Yet, in every media interview, Julian never failed to mention his wife.

He deliberately crafted the illusion of a man deeply in love.

Which was precisely why Sebastian was suspicious.

After all, Julian's fierce devotion to Helena was a memory etched in both their minds.

Sebastian simply listened, offering no reply.
