He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 659

Before she could formulate a defense, his chilling voice cut through the silence.

"Do not ever pull a stunt like that again. I am entirely out of patience with cleaning up your pathetic messes." His tone was lethally calm, a direct warning.

"Did you honestly think you were the only one capable of manipulating the media?" he demanded.

She froze, unable to formulate a response.

She had indeed been the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Her assistant had wired thousands to troll farms to launch the smear campaign.

She had gambled on the assumption that a woman of Helena's prestigious social standing wouldn't lower herself to engage in internet mudslinging.

She had miscalculated entirely.

Helena hadn't just engaged; she had annihilated them.

Worse yet, Julian had publicly waded into the fray.

His 'like' was a blatant declaration of war on Helena's behalf.

The realization had terrified her so profoundly that she had immediately ordered her team to delete everything.

"Are you so blinded by jealousy that you can't see how heavily protected that child is? And yet you keep throwing yourself into the fire," he mocked mercilessly.

He turned his head to look at her, his eyes devoid of warmth. "Let me make this perfectly clear. If you pull another stunt like this, you're on your own."

All the color drained from her face. She stared at him, utterly horrified by his brutal detachment.

She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

At that exact moment, the luxury screen embedded in the seat headrest flickered on, broadcasting breaking news. Helena's face filled the screen.

It was footage from earlier that day, showing her effortlessly handling the media ambush outside the hospital.

A reporter off-camera loudly asked if she planned to fire Janetta and recast her role in retaliation.

Janetta's head snapped toward the screen, her heart in her throat as she waited for the verdict.

Sebastian's gaze was fixed on the broadcast as well.

Out of the corner of her eye, she watched his reaction.

A horrifying realization slowly dawned on her.
