Helen was convinced that as long as the child was alive, Theodore would definitely hate Ariana.

Although Helen said so, Ariana didn't relax her vigilance. She stared at Helen and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"It took me a lot of effort to convince you to come here. Do you think I will let you go so easily?" As Helen spoke, she stood at the foot of the stairs to block Ariana's way.

Ariana sensed something was wrong and tried to free her wrist from Helen's tight grip. However, Helen's fingers were like pincers, gripping her wrist so tightly that Ariana thought she might bleed at any moment.

“There's no way I'm letting you get back into Theodore's life so easily!" Helen roared. Her face was ferocious and her eyes were wide open. She looked less like a human being and more like an angry ghost.
