You’re Heartless
Dumbfounded, Helen exchanged a look with James as deathly silence fell over them. This time, both of
them had lost 10 million, and both of them had no right to lecture the other.
A few minutes passed before she finally broke the silence with a sigh. “Forget it, the money is already
gone, but at least we’re safe. No matter what, we can’t let Sasha find out about this!”
James glared at her. “She still doesn’t know about the money I lost, but you have already exposed
yourself. If the BOD finds out, the person in charge of the pharmacy might even be changed! Whatever,
let it be since Liam has already helped you to fill the gap, but still, we can’t allow them to check the
accounts of the construction company. Otherwise, both of us will have to return the money and we
probably won’t get any more money in the future.”
Bobbing her head, Helen agreed to his idea. At this moment, her cell phone rang. After taking a glance
at the caller ID, she frowned deeply as it was Chloe who was calling her.
“Why is she calling you now?” James asked angrily after stealing a peek at her phone. “Don’t pick up her
call!”
However, Helen sighed. “It’s alright, let’s listen to what she has to say. After all, she’s my sister!”
After picking up the call, Chloe’s cries immediately echoed through her ears. “Helen, please come out. I
need to see you!”
Startled, she asked, “Where are you?”
Chloe cried, “I’m outside of Grand Garden, and the security is not allowing me to enter. You’re my only
blood and kin in Eastcliff, Helen…”
Her cries made Helen soft-hearted. “Hang on, I’ll get the security to let you in and—”
Before she could finish, James slammed the table and roared, “I dare you to let her in! Once she sets
foot in here, I’ll finish her off!”
“Wait a minute!” Helen hurriedly said into the phone. “I-I’m going out to meet you.”
“You’re not allowed to go out either!” James added angrily.
Glaring at him, Helen snapped, “That’s enough, James! That’s my sister we’re talking about. What’s the
problem if I go out and meet her for a while? How could you be so heartless?”
“Your sister is the heartless one for suing you! Can’t you see what she’s trying to do? The reason she
filed a lawsuit against you in court today was to get some money out of you, and now that that plan has
foiled, she’s here crying and trying to gain your pity so you’ll give her some money instead. Helen
Freeman, how many times are you going to fall for her tricks until you realize what she’s doing?”
With a frown, she waved her hand in annoyance. “Alright, I got it! I’ll play it by ear.”
When she reached the gates of her housing complex, she caught sight of Chloe and Minerva standing in
a corner with a couple of security personnel, who were watching them like hawks as they didn’t want
Chloe and Minerva sneaking in.
“Mom, Aunt Helen is here!” Minerva pointed out anxiously.
Rushing up to Helen, Chloe sobbed, “You’re finally here, Helen! Please help us!”
Even Minerva was looking very sad and pitiful as she cried, “I’m sorry, Aunt Helen. I’ve learned from my
mistake this time. I shouldn’t have lied to everyone. It’s my fault that I disappointed you when you’re so
good to me. Don’t worry, I won’t tell another fib in the future or lie to you again.”
If Helen had heard this in the past, she would have definitely fallen for it, but she and her family were
deeply disappointed after what happened today. With her brows knitted tightly together, she gazed at
Chloe. “What happened now? How can I help you?”
“Helen, we negotiated with the families of the victims,” Chloe hurriedly began. “As long as we
compensate them, they are willing to forgive Tate, and he’ll be able to get away with only a few years in
jail. Please lend us some money so that we can settle the compensation fees, okay?”
