He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 949

Helena fell silent, her expression utterly unreadable as she mulled it over.

After a long pause, she finally looked up at the old man.

"Grandfather, Xavier and I broke up," she dropped the truth bomb point-blank.

This actually caught Alistair off guard.

If they were already broken up, why the hell did Jocelyn still try to kill her?

But he didn't press her on the gory details of the toxic love triangle.

"It's for the best. We genuinely had no idea he was hiding this kind of baggage, or we never would have entertained him in the first place," he stated with a terrifying finality.

She hummed in agreement, refusing to waste another breath on her ex.

"Then we proceed with the maximum legal penalty," Alistair declared.

"Agreed," she replied coolly.

She had absolutely no intention of playing the forgiving martyr.

And she owed exactly zero mercy to a lunatic who had just tried to murder her in broad daylight.

Alistair didn't say anything else, immediately ordering his subordinates to begin the legal slaughter.

He and Lance hung around for a bit to keep her company.

Remarkably, the old man never even brought up Sebastian's name again.

Eventually, given his age, the uncomfortable hospital chairs took their toll.

So, Ivy escorted him back to the estate.

Leaving Lance behind.

The moment the heavy wooden door clicked shut.

Lance leveled a serious stare at his cousin.

"Lena, what exactly is going through your head?" he asked bluntly.

"About what?" she feigned ignorance.

"About Sebastian," he clarified without hesitation.

She looked down at her lap, her mind spinning.

After a long silence, she finally spoke. "I don't know. But right now, having him around actually keeps me strangely calm."

At the very least, she didn't feel the urge to violently reject him.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to reject him; it was an incredibly complex, twisted emotion.

She honestly thought she might be losing her mind.
