He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 967

Throughout the exchange, Sebastian stood firmly beside Helena, making no move to intervene.

Neither man acknowledged the other.

But at least they weren't throwing punches.

Helena murmured an acknowledgment and nodded.

She didn't particularly care what happened to Jocelyn Zane, nor did she want to.

She wasn't a saint, and she had no intention of playing one.

"If I'm not mistaken, Xavier Zane will probably come looking for you," Julian said bluntly.

Helena was momentarily stunned, needing a second to process the warning.

Julian didn't mind her silence and continued speaking.

But his words seemed directed more at Sebastian than at her.

"Because you're the victim, if you drop the charges, Jocelyn will walk free, regardless of what strings the Zane family pulls."

"Naturally, Xavier will seek you out to save her."

"Xavier looks like a refined gentleman who stays out of the fray. But the fact that he survived the Zane family infighting to become the sole heir proves he's far more dangerous than he appears."

Julian paused for a beat. "You need to be careful."

"I will," Helena nodded earnestly.

Julian hummed. "Call me if you need anything. Also, I'll be spending the holidays at the Everett estate."

That last piece of information was undeniably meant for Sebastian.

With that, Julian turned and walked away.

He had delivered his warnings, stirred the pot, and landed his provocations.

He left the tangled mess entirely in Helena's lap.

She rubbed her temples, a headache already forming.

After Julian left, she felt a prickle of dread creeping up her spine.

When she turned to look at Sebastian, his expression was utterly unreadable.

Her lips parted.

But in the end, she didn't offer an explanation.

She had never told him about her divorce from Julian.

But she knew she didn't have to; Sebastian could easily find out himself.
