He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 604

The suspicion gnawed at him, ebbing and flowing.

Especially after sleeping with Helena, those doubts had only deepened into an undeniable obsession.

She felt too familiar.

Having shared such intense intimacy with his ex-wife in the past, encountering Helena gave him an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

It was everything from her subtle micro-expressions right down to her most sensitive spots.

That was exactly why Sebastian found himself wanting to drag her deeper into his web.

His demands of her were fueled by physical lust, yes, but also a burning need to uncover the truth.

Silence stretched across the office for a moment.

Suddenly, Carter's phone buzzed. He checked the caller ID and answered.

"Understood, hold on a second," Carter replied.

Hanging up, he looked back at Sebastian.

"That was the press. They said the paparazzi caught photos of you and Ms. Wallace together. They managed to intercept the shots and are asking how you want to handle it," Carter asked quietly.

In Riverton, whenever the paparazzi captured anything involving the Hayes family...

...the media platforms would immediately contact Carter during their review process.

Carter would then consult Sebastian for his instructions.

It was just like how Janetta Ramirez had constantly tried to manufacture PR stunts over the years, only for Sebastian to squash them all.

As a result, the public's interest in Janetta had always been rather lukewarm.

It wasn't that Sebastian was trying to ruin her career.

He simply despised her attempts to use his name for cheap publicity.

Yet, their years of history made his feelings towards her complicated.

But now, faced with a potential scandal involving himself and Helena, Sebastian merely cast a glance at Carter.

"Ignore it," he said curtly.

Carter was taken aback. "But what about Ms. Ramirez... and Madam Hayes..."

"Leave it be. If they have a problem, they can come to me," Sebastian ordered.

"Yes, sir. Understood," Carter nodded.

The restaurant boasted complete privacy, cutting off any further photo opportunities.

But the existing shots were already overflowing with enough romantic tension to break the internet.

After dinner, Sebastian was seen personally escorting her back to the hotel.

Crucially, there were no photos of him leaving the premises.

Through the paparazzi's lens, the undercurrent of passion between them seemed to escalate into something explosive.

*Sebastian & Helena: Intimate Dinner, Passionate Night?*

In the past, Sebastian would have immediately ordered The Hayes Corporation to issue a press release denying the rumors.

This time, however, he did absolutely nothing.

It was a silent permission, allowing the scandal to spread like wildfire.

Curiously, Helena's camp remained unusually quiet, offering no reaction to the breaking news.

It was only Julian who broke the silence with a single post on Twitter.

Julian Campbell: *Nonsense.*
