He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 81

Sebastian's bodyguards immediately sprang into action.

Helena Wallace was the only one who remained completely still.

She had lost count of how many times this ridiculous scene had played out in front of her.

Not once had Sebastian Hayes ever chosen to believe her.

She didn't even have the energy to defend herself anymore.

"Helena, are you pushing your luck just because I've been accommodating?" Sebastian barked.

She looked at him, her face a mask of apathy. "She was the one who provoked me."

"Janetta provoked you? What a joke. Up until a second ago, she was begging me to come back and comfort you." Sebastian scoffed, clearly not buying a word of it.

"If that's the case, why did she come here in the first place?" Helena asked coldly.

"She told me she wanted to check on you!" he roared. "I'm the one who tried to keep her away because I was afraid you'd start a fight. She's been worried about you this entire time. You're the only one looking at her through a distorted lens!"

Helena listened to his tirade.

A suffocating wave of despair washed over her.

Sebastian was afraid she would start a fight, yet he completely refused to believe that Janetta Ramirez was capable of starting one herself.

Her explanations were painfully weak. She sounded like a fool even trying.

Faced with his unwavering bias, the thoughts she had been suppressing finally began to solidify.

"Don't think that just because you're pregnant, I won't touch you!" Sebastian warned, his gaze sharp.

Helena gave a faint, hollow smile. "You wouldn't dare, Sebastian. Because you need the baby in my stomach to secure Grandpa's shares, don't you?"

He paused, visibly caught off guard. "How... how do you know that?"

"Your precious Janetta told me," she replied, her expression blank.
