He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 681

Helena kept her eyes glued to the stage the entire time.

From the corner of his eye, Sebastian watched her, though he didn't make a show of it.

He appeared to be watching the stage as well.

But Helena knew what he was doing when his hand "accidentally" brushed against hers, a subtle, deliberate implication.

She didn't react.

The opening ceremony was mostly a formality, so it didn't drag on.

By noon, the event had officially wrapped up.

A celebratory banquet was scheduled afterward.

Helena, however, had no intention of staying and promptly stood up to leave.

Julian naturally stayed right by her side.

Sebastian stood up unhurriedly, acting as though nothing had transpired between them.

Meanwhile, Janetta spotted Sebastian getting up from the stage and immediately hurried over to him.

"Sebastian," she called out.

Her hand reached out, naturally trying to loop through his arm.

Sebastian smoothly and discreetly pulled his arm away.

Julian didn't even spare them a glance as he escorted Helena toward the exit.

"Mr. Campbell, what brings you here today?" a reporter boldly asked, stepping into their path.

Everyone knew Julian had practically boycotted Riverton for years.

The reason why was an open secret.

Now that he and Sebastian were in the same frame, the paparazzi were practically salivating.

Given the recent scandalous headlines, everyone was itching for a scoop.

Julian scoffed, his expression turning frosty as he stared down the reporter, refusing to play nice.

"I'm here accompanying my wife, to prevent the tabloids from spreading baseless rumors that our marriage is on the rocks and we're heading for divorce," Julian said, his face completely deadpan.

The reporter immediately looked embarrassed.

After all, they were the ones who had originally run the fake divorce stories.

They knew exactly who Julian was throwing shade at.

The reporter could only offer an awkward, apologetic smile.

And clearly, Julian's comment was aimed directly at Sebastian.
