He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 605

He hadn't added any extra words, not even a picture.

But anyone with eyes knew exactly what Julian Campbell was implying.

With Julian speaking up, the media in Coralia wouldn't dare act so brazenly anymore.

Julian didn't bring the matter up with Helena again.

However, his dark mood was palpable to anyone who crossed his path.

Jensen Shaw braced himself as he walked into the office.

"How soon can the Tokyo situation be resolved?" Julian asked bluntly.

Jensen did the math quickly. "At least three to four days."

"Compress it into three days, then book a flight to Riverton for the fourth day. Don't tell anyone," Julian ordered decisively.

"Yes, sir." Jensen didn't dare hesitate.

He quickly backed out of the room.

Julian's secret flight from Tokyo to Riverton was set for four days later.

Only then did silence slowly return to the office.

...

The next day.

Helena was awakened by her assistant's call.

"Ms. Wallace, the signing is at ten-thirty, and it's already nine," the assistant reminded her politely.

"Mhm," Helena murmured.

Her head was still throbbing.

She had been going to bed far too late recently.

Combined with the medication, she hadn't woken up naturally.

But she knew exactly what needed to be done.

Hanging up, Helena changed into a tailored business suit and applied light makeup.

Room service delivered breakfast.

It was Riverton's specialty—seafood risotto.

Staring at the dish, a wave of nausea washed over her.

It was Sebastian's favorite.

Back then, she had practiced making it over and over just to perfect it for him.

She had endured it, despite her severe shrimp allergy.

Seeing it laid out before her now only served as a stark reminder of the past.

She thought it was all over.

"Mhm." Helena finally opened her eyes.

She realized her palms were clammy.

It was the pain.

She took a deep breath, waited for the spasm to pass, and slowly got out.

The bodyguards held the door open as she stepped out composedly, her assistant closely trailing her.

A swarm of reporters had already gathered outside the building.

The moment they spotted her, a barrage of questions flew her way.

"Ms. Wallace, did you spend the night with Mr. Hayes?"

"Ms. Wallace, does Julian Campbell know about this?"

"Ms. Wallace, what's your take on today's scandal headline?"

...

Nobody cared about the contract signing; they only wanted the juicy gossip.

Helena frowned slightly; she hadn't seen the headlines at all.

But it didn't take her long to connect the dots.

She met the reporters' gaze with total calm, a far cry from the panicked girl she had been years ago.
