He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 976

"Xavier, I'm sorry, but my hands are tied," Helena refused flatly.

Xavier looked utterly stunned, completely unprepared for her rejection.

"Helena, you're the victim. All you have to do is drop the charges, and this nightmare ends. She's already suffered enough," he pleaded, panic bleeding into his voice.

"Or are you truly determined to drive her to her death before you're satisfied?"

By the end, his tone had morphed into an aggressive accusation.

Helena said nothing.

She just found it incredibly laughable.

He acknowledged that she was the victim, yet with that tone, he was painting her as the villain.

The murderer who was going to drive Jocelyn to her grave?

This was a dark, manipulative side of Xavier she had never seen while they were together.

But then again, people always hid their ugliest traits during the honeymoon phase.

It made sense that she had been blind to it.

"Didn't she try to murder me with her car?" she challenged.

"Only because she didn't want to live anymore either! Besides, you survived, didn't you?" he argued, as if that erased the crime.

She completely lost the desire to continue the conversation.

There was absolutely no point in arguing.

He was trapped in his own twisted delusion.

Saying another word would only invite unnecessary danger.

She simply stood up and headed for the door.

Seeing her walk away, he immediately lunged after her.

"Helena, do you really have to be this petty? This ruthlessly vindictive?" he spat.

She stopped and turned back. "I'm the petty one?"

She stared at him with chilling indifference.

Her icy question left him momentarily paralyzed, realizing he had lost all leverage.

"This conversation is over. The law will decide her fate," she stated coldly.

With that, she didn't waste another second.
