He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 596

"I'll drive you," Sebastian said smoothly.

"Okay," Janetta agreed.

The fact that he was personally driving her to the set was a clear statement of support.

Any lingering resentment she felt vanished instantly.

As long as they weren't divorced, she still held the winning hand.

She quickly got into his car.

Her assistant breathed a sigh of relief and stayed behind.

Carter, noticing the shift in atmosphere, also remained silent.

Soon, the car pulled away from the apartment complex.

...

It was already noon by the time Helena arrived back at her hotel.

After having lunch with her team, she headed straight into the conference room.

They spent the entire afternoon reviewing every single detail for tomorrow's contract signing.

By the time she was fully satisfied with the preparations, it was past five in the evening.

A call came in from Epoch Pictures.

"Ms. Wallace, we've hit a snag," the director, Leo Dalton, said over the phone, his voice laced with tension.

"What is it?" she asked after a brief pause.

"It's about our primary filming location. We had a verbal agreement, but now the owner is stalling and refusing to sign the contract. This location is the absolute core of our Riverton shoot. There's no viable alternative in the city—probably not even in the entire country," Leo explained, sounding incredibly stressed.

"If we try to build a set from scratch, it will completely derail our schedule, and the authenticity will be terrible," he admitted honestly.

Destiny's Choice was indeed a project under Epoch Pictures.

But the one truly pulling the strings behind the film was Helena.

She rarely micromanaged her team, trusting them to handle the day-to-day operations.

However, when a real crisis hit, she was always the first to step in.

"Who owns the property?" she asked.

Lowering her gaze, she replied evenly, "I'll handle this. Proceed with the schedule as planned."

"You have a way to reach the owner?" Leo asked, quick to pick up on her confidence.

"Yes," she answered simply.

Leo didn't press for details, and they ended the call.

Staring at her darkened screen, she rubbed her aching temples.

He had set a deliberate trap for her.

And she had no choice but to walk right into it.

Whether it was because of Janetta or Sebastian himself.

It felt as if the moment she showed any hesitation, he would ruthlessly drag her down into the abyss.

Oh, well.

If they were going to hell, they might as well burn together.

Steeling her resolve, she picked up her phone and dialed his number.
