He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 990

She had almost lost her life, lost her baby, and yet, somehow, she was the one being petty.

It proved that no matter how many years passed, Grace would never change.

She was rotten to the core.

"I know you're the golden child of the Everett family now, and you're not the same helpless girl you used to be. But all of that was years ago. Are you really going to hold a grudge forever?"

Grace's voice grew significantly louder, her arrogance bleeding through. "Besides, Sebastian followed you all the way to the Capital. Isn't that proof enough?"

This time, Helena stared at Grace with deadly stillness.

Her eyes were entirely devoid of emotion, a cold, unreadable void.

"So, you're implying that I begged Sebastian to come to the Capital?" Helena asked rhetorically.

Then, Helena let out a sharp, humorless laugh. "In that case, please feel free to drag him back home with you. Because I have absolutely zero interest in remaining tangled up in his life."

Grace froze.

She had basically set that trap for herself.

If Helena used this conversation as an excuse to finally cut Sebastian out of her life entirely...

And Sebastian found out it was her fault? Grace wouldn't survive the fallout.

The realization made Grace look incredibly foolish.

"Look, that's not what I meant," Grace scrambled to backpedal, frantically changing the subject.

"Then what exactly is your point?" Helena stared at her, utterly unbothered.

She handed the reins of the conversation right over to Grace.

But she refused to give the woman an inch of breathing room.

It was exactly the kind of suffocating pressure the Hayes family used to inflict on her.

Grace looked increasingly cornered.

Under Helena's piercing gaze, she blurted out the real reason. "I just want to talk about my granddaughter."

Instantly, Helena's eyes darkened, her stare turning predatory.

Helena had assumed Grace was completely in the dark.
