"Are you okay?" Philip crouched in front of the girl while handing her a bottle of mineral water that he had opened.The girl shook her head and accepted the bottle of drinking water from Philip and drank it."No," the girl answered then. "I'm surprised," she said.Philip took the bottle from her hand and listened."Do you want to go home now?" Philip asked.Helena nodded while looking at the man standing there.The door to the waiting room opened, and Serena entered with a red face that looked very angry. Several people followed the woman in."Do something so they don't find out. And immediately call Lawyer Hong, I'll talk about something," said Serena ordering her assistant. The young man who was Serena's assistant immediately moved quickly after recei

Helena helped Philip sit on the sofa in the living room of her house as soon as they arrived. After that Helena jogged to the kitchen and returned carrying a small basin filled with warm water and a medicine box."Here, let me treat the wound," said the girl while putting the medicine box and bowl on the table and asking Philip to face her.Helena began to clean Philip's bruises on several parts of his face slowly which made the man wince a little, making Helena wince too. It hurt so much."Take it slow," said the girl then did it slowly while blowing on the wound.After cleaning the wound, Helena applied ointment to the corner of Philip's bleeding lips."It's done," said the girl then. After a while observing Philip's face, Helena then tidied up the medicine box and took the bowl to the kitchen.Returning to the sofa where Philip was, Helena watched the man who winced a little while holding a mirror."Why did you have t

“But they… accused me of playing with my brother-in-law’s husband,” Helena said softly.Philip’s brow furrowed. He was processing what Helena had said.“What do you mean?” Philip couldn’t think of it but he felt bad about it.Helena lifted her face and looked at Philip. There was a look of fear and sadness in her eyes. Helena stared at Philip for a long time, making him worried but he couldn’t do anything and just kept quiet until Helena told him what happened.“They accused me of seducing Scot, Jimmy’s brother-in-law’s husband. They said that I wasn’t satisfied with one man, said that I was a flirt, and insulted me, cursed, cursed at me and treated me worse than before. Even though they didn’t know that Scot was the one who touched me first.”As Helena told him about her painful experience at her ex-husband’s house, Philip noticed how Helena reacted. She lifted her legs onto the sofa and hugged her knees in fear. Her gaze was blank.

“Living such a stressful life, I thought I was used to it. But three years later, I’m not used to it at all. It’s just that I have to endure every pain and insult they give me every day. Only the maids there help me survive and support each other.”“Why didn’t you ask Auntie for help?” Philip asked, starting to feel bad hearing Helena’s sad story.The girl glanced at Philip and shook her head. “I can’t do it. I don’t dare to ask Auntie for help because I was the one who decided to get married,” Helena said.Helena turned her gaze forward with a sigh.“I didn’t dare to ask Auntie for help when I was the one who hurt her with my decision. From the start, Auntie warned me about that family, but I was too blind to see it and took everything for granted. Even when Auntie offered to help, I refused. Saying I was fine and happy without realizing that Auntie had been watching me all this time.”Philip fell silent. Helena’s stubbornness, which she

Helena looked at Philip who was still cupping the side of her face with Helena's small palms."Why are you silent? Come on, answer," the girl urged a little, forcing Philip to direct his gaze straight at her.But Philip didn't answer immediately because he knew it wouldn't be easy."I'll try," he answered then. His gaze was still fixed on Helena's eyes. The girl pouted. "You know," Philip continued, his hands tightly holding the girl's waist. "In the eyes of others, especially women, I am their ideal, so I can't promise that. However, I will try to take care of myself to meet your expectations. How about it?"This time it was Helena's turn to be silent. The girl was now thinking about it."Okay," the girl replied. "As long as you can take care of yourself, it's okay," she continued with a smile on her face.For some reason, Philip sighed in relief hearing that. After all, Philip had decided to take care of the girl as best he cou

Helena was silent with her eyes fixed on the figure behind the guard.“Excuse me, Young Miss,” the guard greeted, diverting Helena’s attention. “I came because there was a guest who wanted to meet you, so I brought him here because the guest said he knew Miss, but he hasn’t come for a long time,” the man said.Helena nodded her head slightly.“I’m still relatively new to working here, so I don’t know. However, Mr. Andi said that this guest did know Miss so he asked me to take him to Miss.” The man continued politely.“Yes, I know him. Thank you for taking the guest,” Helena said, smiling friendly.“No problem. Then I’ll excuse myself, Miss,” the man said.This time, Helena just nodded while maintaining her friendly smile. The man turned around and left, leaving Helena and the guest, who then fell silent without greeting or glancing at each other. There was only awkwardness and silence in the large room filled with luxurious and classy furniture.Even after a few minutes passed, neithe

“My poor girl,” Angela said as she hugged Helena again. Helena was now calmer, and they sat facing each other on the sofa. “So, you know everything from Aunt Serena?” the girl asked. Angela nodded. “Yes. I forced Aunt Serena to tell me. Because no matter what, I will never forget you even though you are evil,” she said. Helena was silent. They were both close, very close, and inseparable. We grew up together, played, went to school, and did other things together, like twins. Angela was the daughter of a businessman who had a good relationship with the Jerome family, Helena’s grandfather, and Angela’s grandfather were best friends. The two men often visited each other which then brought Helena and Angela together. However, because Helena decided to marry Jimmy, their relationship became strained. No one agreed with Helena’s decision, especially since the girl hid her identity as an heir which for Angela was the same as hiding the girl

"Enough, don’t chat anymore,” Philip’s deep voice greeted them on the sofa. The man stood not far from the sofa with both sleeves rolled up showing off his charm.Angela clicked her tongue. “Every time I visit, you always show off,” the girl said then got up from her comfortable seat and approached Philip. “Long time no see, hug me,” Angela asked without a spoiled tone.Philip chuckled and complied with Angela’s request to hug him. “You’re so ugly, La,” Philip teased in the hug.“That’s because I cried because your sister was crazy,” Angela replied. Philip laughed.They let go of the hug.“How are you?” Philip asked, not really paying attention to Angela’s condition.“Fine. I’m fine. At least I have to be nice to beat up your sister. But apparently, I’m too nice,” Angela said which made Philip laugh again. That was indeed typical of a best friend.Helena approached and clicked her tongue hearing Angela’s words.

The place was very noisy even though it wasn't too late, but the music that was heard was quite piercing to the ears. Anyone who was not used to it would feel disturbed and dizzy. However, the man walked leisurely because he was used to it, even raising his hand to greet the DJ who was playing on a special stage there. His steps were relaxed as he entered deeper into the place filled with people who were dancing, dressed sexily, even drinking, or just hanging out. Philip raised his hand once again when someone he was looking for raised their hand to let the man know where he was. Once he arrived at the bar and greeted him, Philip sat down in an empty chair next to the man. The area was a bit far from the dance floor or DJ stage so it wasn't too noisy, but the music was still loud. "Would you like a drink?" Philip's friend offered. "Just give me a soda," Philip said to the drink mixer there. The man nodded. "Have you been waiting?" Philip asked

"Come in!” Helena shouted to someone who knocked on her office door. A man who was her assistant entered. The man stood two steps in front of her desk. “What’s wrong?” Helena asked, stopping her activity of checking documents for a moment. “I’ve got the information you ordered, Director,” said Koa as he placed a brown folder on Helena’s desk. “But…,” Koa seemed hesitant to tell her and looked at Helena. “What’s wrong? Just tell me,” Helena ordered. “Director Philip seems to be investigating the same thing,” Koa reported, making Helena’s forehead frown. “I accidentally saw Director Philip at the scene while working on the task you ordered. But it seems like Director Philip himself intervened,” he explained later. Helen fell silent and then wondered what Philip was doing. “Does he perhaps know something?” Helena thought. “Okay. Here we go. You may go out. I’ll meet him later,” she ordered Koa. “Okay, Director.” Koa
The Return of the Billionaire's Daughter 31. Uninvited Guest
Helena did her job well and seriously. Focusing on things that she might need later. Time passed without her realizing it, Helena had been busy at home lately, occasionally the girl came to the company to see the progress. After all, Helena would be the company's successor. She was no longer the weak Helena. No longer someone who was easily bullied. Not someone who just kept quiet when insulted. Helena was determined to change into a tough woman. "How is the progress of the new cosmetic product?" Helena asked during the meeting. "The development is only 70%, Mr. Director. We just finished making samples," answered one of Helena's subordinates during the meeting. "Can I see?" Helena asked. Someone came and gave a sample of the cosmetic product that was being developed under the supervision of Helena's company. The girl had not officially worked at the company but had often come to conduct surveys and go directly to the field. No one t
The Return of the Billionaire's Daughter 30. A Lesson
Helena just stared at the night sky filled with stars with the moon in the distance that had just risen from its orbit. Helena smiled faintly letting Philip clear the table as the waiter came to deliver their food order. After the waiter left, Helena was still staring at the sky. The girl enjoyed the blowing night breeze. "Come on, eat first, " Philip said, making Helena turn her head. The various food menus served on the table made Helena's smile even wider. "Come on, eat," the girl invited and immediately took a spoon and fork there. Philip just shook his head. Even though they hadn't met for several years, it turned out that Helena was still a girl who always liked to eat, who always liked the sky both day and night. The girl hadn't changed even though she had been locked up in her ex-husband's big house for three years. They didn't talk much while eating. Once the food was finished, Helena leaned back in her chair and s
The Return of the Billionaire's Daughter 29. What You Should Get
Helena's busy life now begins. The girl struggles with a pile of papers on her desk in a special room. Of course with Philip, the man will only be there at certain times, not all the time because there must be someone to take care of him in the company even though Serena is still there. "How was your work today?" Philip leaned against the doorway of Helena's office. The girl who was sitting behind the desk and focusing on a pile of files on the table lifted her face and smiled then her face frowned. "I don't understand," the girl replied. Philip laughed and walked into the office. "Looks like it's time for a break. How about it?" Philip offered. Helena glanced at the clock on the wall of her office, then at the files on the table, then at Philip, and the girl nodded. "I guess so," she said. Philip laughed again. "Let's eat something. The butler said you haven't left this place at all since noon. Aren't you hungry?

The items Helena bought for her home office had arrived. Helena didn't want to waste time and immediately tidied up her office. The girl arranged every piece of furniture in the room neatly. "Need help?" Sara Philip interrupted when Helena had just taken a break from her activities. The girl turned her head then smiled and shook her head. "It's done," she answered in satisfaction. Philip chuckled. "Where's Angela? I don't see her anywhere." "Angela went home, come home tonight, or if not maybe tomorrow," Helena answered while leaning her butt on her desk. Her desk was inside, behind the door, and near the window facing the backyard. Philip stepped further in. Philip's gaze wandered around the room that Helena had just tidied up. "This is very typical of you, simple but elegant," Philip commented. Helena laughed. "Nice, right?" "Yes, good. Very comfortable. You might be able to move into this room later,"
The Return of the Billionaire's Daughter 27. More Attention
The sound of the table tapping was quite surprising for Serena, Helana, and Philip. Their gazes were fixed on Angela, the perpetrator who hit the table. “Hey you guys, stop. It makes me uncomfortable,” Angela complained, unable to hold herself back. “What do you mean?” Helena didn’t care, the girl was busy feeding herself ice cream as dessert. The dishes on the table had been changed to dessert so there weren’t many plates there when Angela hit the table in annoyance. “Hey, Philip! You’re paying too much attention to Helena,” Angela said to Philip. “Oh?” Philip interrupted, looking indifferent which made Angela’s eyes widen sharply. “Damn it! You think you can treat Helena like a girl?” Angela said. “Isn’t Helena a girl?” Philip replied calmly, to which Helena herself nodded while still eating her ice cream like a child. Angela sighed tiredly. “That’s not what I meant. You guys… you guys… ah, damn it!” A

“My daughter-in-law?” The voice greeted, seemingly very pleased with the fake soft tone. Helena remained silent without turning her body, letting the voice be heard again. “Why didn’t you tell me you were going shopping, honey?” Janet spoke again, chuckling softly. The tapping of high heels on the marble floor echoed there, it was very clear that Janet had come. Yes, who else would call Helena a daughter-in-law if not that woman? It seemed like Janet didn’t care about reality or what happened between them. Helena remained where she was, her back to Janet. The girl’s attention was focused on the decorative night light in front of her. “Are you ignoring me?” Janet’s voice sounded annoyed now but Helena knew it was pretend. Next, the woman would sweet talk again. “Where have you been? It was so hard to find you. You know, Jimmy was looking for you. That kid is very stubborn. He was still looking for you even until he fell ill.”

“What is that?” Helena asked her aunt as she went down the stairs. Serena turned and smiled when she saw the girl and waited for Helena to approach her to explain. “These are the files that you will be studying from now on, Helena,” Serena said answering the girl’s question earlier. “Files?” With a frown, Helena looked at the pile of papers and books on top of her. “Yes. You will start practicing with Philip from now on, as we agreed. Did you forget?” Serena protested a little. “No. But… that, how do I…” Helena couldn’t finish her sentence because seeing the pile of books, files, and others somehow made her head dizzy. But Serena just laughed, understanding what Helena meant. “You don’t need to do it overnight, Helena. I only brought the important files so you can study them. I’m sure you already know the basics of studying, you need to follow Philip’s instructions. That’s all.” Even though Serena explained it wel

“You’ll be here for a few days, right?” Helena asked Angela. “Yes. I’ll be here for a few days to take care of you,” Angela repeated. “That’s good. I need a friend.” Helena fed herself another mouthful of ice cream still half in the other cup. The two men were busy paying attention to Helena, making her uncomfortable. “Why?” Helena asked a little fiercely, looking at Philip and Edmund alternately. “No. Do you look okay?” Edmund asked. “Yes, I’m fine,” Helena answered confidently. Edmund nodded his head slowly. “Philip told me. If you’re okay, I’m relieved to see him too,” he said. Helena just smiled and chose to finish her ice cream. “Helena?” Edmund said the girl’s name again, making Helena and Angela look at him too. Philip seemed to know what Edmund was going to say, so the man didn’t look back at all. “I’m going to talk to you about something, do you mind?” This time the two girls
