He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 543

Janetta couldn't tell if she was relieved or feeling something else entirely.

At the very least, she was certain the old Helena was dead.

But the look in this woman's eyes filled her with a creeping dread.

She forced her panic down, maintaining her composure for the event.

"Let's go. Grandfather is waiting for us," Julian said once she finished, his arm settling back around her waist as they headed into the gala.

Helena nodded. The silent communication in their expressions proved they were far from strangers.

There was a distinct spark between them.

Sebastian's eyes darkened; he clearly understood what he was seeing.

Moments later, he calmly made his way inside as well.

Snapping out of her daze, Janetta hurried after him.

The gala was buzzing with activity.

It was hosted by Coralia's business elite.

Helena stayed by Julian's side the entire time, exuding a quiet, elegant confidence.

This was the first time they had appeared together in public, openly presenting themselves as husband and wife.

Even Donovan Campbell didn't deny her status.

Although Donovan had retired, his authority remained absolute.

In Coralia, he was an unshakable legend.

Yet when he looked at Helena, his demeanor was surprisingly gentle.

He casually asked about her company, and she answered with calm respect, neither subservient nor arrogant.

Donovan introduced her to others, saying, "This is my granddaughter-in-law, Helena."

The implication was glaringly obvious.

She was fully acknowledged by the Campbell family, not some hidden secret.

Combined with her title as the CEO of IGM...

It naturally earned her a profound level of respect from everyone in the room.

She handled the endless social pleasantries flawlessly.

But the whole evening, she could feel Sebastian's gaze practically burning into her.

It was heavy with scrutiny.
