He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 992

"What did she say to you? That old witch never has anything nice to say, just ignore her," Sophia advised.

Helena let out a heavy sigh.

Helena knew exactly what kind of monster Grace was.

She didn't care about Grace's empty threats, but she was deeply terrified for Skye.

Logically, they were in the Capital; Grace had no real power here to pull any of her usual stunts, and Sebastian was around to keep her in check.

But for some inexplicable reason, a heavy knot of dread sat firmly in Helena's chest.

"You need to tell Sebastian about this," Sophia said firmly. "You can't let Grace run wild. If Sebastian steps in, she'll back off immediately."

"I know," Helena replied.

She knew exactly how this would play out.

She wouldn't even have to pick up the phone.

Sebastian would come straight to her.

Because Grace was absolutely going to run crying to Sebastian.

She would twist the narrative and play the victim.

For years, Grace had operated exactly like this—twisting reality to make Helena look like the villain, forcing all the pressure onto her shoulders.

Helena knew the playbook by heart.

She just didn't care anymore.

If Sebastian wanted to start a massive fight over this, it would only make it easier to walk away.

So, Helena simply pushed the encounter to the back of her mind.

"Oh, speaking of drama, do you want to hear the latest gossip about Xavier?" Sophia suddenly asked, eyes gleaming.

"Tell me," Helena said, her attention shifting.

Lately, the rumor mill had been in absolute overdrive regarding Xavier.

Xavier's sudden resignation sent shockwaves through the academic community.

Given his stellar reputation and undeniable good looks, he had always been a high-profile figure.

Naturally, the internet was losing its collective mind trying to figure out what happened.

Inevitably, internet sleuths began digging up the brief, few-month romance between Helena and Xavier.

And then, details about Helena's horrific car crash began to surface.

The ugly truth about Xavier and Jocelyn was becoming impossible to hide.

Sophia finding out about it now wasn't surprising in the least.

Helena simply listened quietly.
