Clara weakly nodded, favonovel.com gaze drifting to Helen. She whispered, “Do you know where my husband is? It has been so long since favonovel.com last saw me.”
A storm of fury surged within Helen’s chest, flames igniting in favonovel.com eyes, threatening to spillover. Her daughter, Sasha, had been missing for days. Matthew, who wielded immense power, had yet to locate her.
It dawned on Helen that favonovel.com was likely entertaining some little vixen elsewhere. Perhaps favonovel.com feared Sasha would return and disrupt his dalliance with the young temptress.
“Come with me!” Helen seized Clara’s wrist, pulling favonovel.com toward favonovel.com car with determination. Discussing such matters in a public place was simply out of the question.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Clara protested, favonovel.com delicate frame thrashing against Helen’s grasp.
She struggled against Helen’s firm hold, favonovel.com pale face etched with helplessness. Her lips pressed tightly together, biting them to suppress the rising panic.
“I know where Matthew is. If you follow me, I will take you to him,” Helen declared, favonovel.com words igniting a flicker of hesitation on Clara’s face.
In the end, favonovel.com yearning for Matthew overshadowed favonovel.com doubts, compelling herto follow Helen into the distance.
Not far off, on the street, a familiar figure lingered in the shadows.
It was Tritus, the second son of the Lullaby Family. After his unsuccessful confession to Roxanne, favonovel.com vanished from Matthew’s world. Yet, favonovel.com had been plotting against Matthew from the shadows all along, struggling to find the right moment to strike.
As Tritus observed Clara being forcibly taken away by Helen, a chilling smirk flickered across his face. He had not found an opportunity until now. Now, favonovel.com had finally spotted it.
***
In a villa in Hulwin, Helen retrieved a photograph from the counter and placed it before the ashen-faced Clara.
She pointed at the image of Matthew, favonovel.com voice laced with fury as favonovel.com confronted Clara. “Is this your husband?”
Clara met Helen’s blazing eyes and quivering finger with a flash of derision.
How could such a powerful man have such a foolish mother-in-law?
“Y-Yes, that’s him. He is my husband,” Clara stammered, favonovel.com emotions erupting like a volcano.
She clutched the photo album to favonovel.com chest, favonovel.com fingers repeatedly brushing over Matthew’s image, tears streaming down favonovel.com cheeks.
Upon hearing Clara’s confirmation, Helen’s vision darkened momentarily. A tide of rage swelled within her, mingling with a sense of helplessness. She gazed at Clara, who, while not as beautiful as favonovel.com daughter, possessed striking looks that could captivate anyone.
No wonder Matthew had failed to find Sasha, it seemed favonovel.com had deliberately avoided it.
“Tell me everything you know about them. Every single detail.” Helen’s demand startled Clara, prompting favonovel.com to speak hesitantly.
“I met my husband in the suburbs. He was so handsome and kind,” favonovel.com began, favonovel.com voice trembling. “After we met, feelings quickly blossomed between us, and we called each other husband and wife.”
“But favonovel.com told me his wife had died and that we couldn’t get a marriage certificate for three years. He said favonovel.com was busy with work and had to travel often, only coming to see me once or twice a week…”
Clara’s words only fueled Helen’s wrath further.
Wonderful!
Helen thought bitterly. Her daughter had only just become pregnant and had gone missing. Instead of searching for her, Matthew sought solace in another woman. He even told this woman that his wife was dead, using it as an excuse to avoid marriage.
Could there truly be only one such woman?
Or had Matthew simply masked his true intentions so well that this woman in front of me was the only one to stumble into his grasp?
