**Chapter 4: Who Do You Think You Are, Questioning Authority?**

The list lay before them, concise enough to be absorbed in a single, fleeting glance.

Four long years Helen had dedicated to the Morgans’ estate, and this was all that could be accounted for in terms of her expenses?

Just one flimsy sheet of paper?

If this information were to leak, the other high-society families would likely gossip that the Morgans were on the verge of financial ruin, treating their former daughter-in-law with such scant generosity.

Jacob’s eyes flickered towards the bank card resting on the table. “Check the balance on this,” he commanded, his tone brooking no argument.

The butler, a shadowy figure in the corner, accepted the card and the list without uttering a single word, his expression inscrutable as he departed to ascertain the truth.

Sienna, unable to contain herself, opened her mouth to interject, but the moment her gaze met Jacob’s darkening expression, she swallowed her words. With an exasperated sigh, she muttered under her breath, “Are you seriously taking that list at face value? That little brat is just playing mind games, classic reverse psychology. She wants us to feel guilty, to believe we’ve wronged her. She’s fishing for sympathy, trying to play us into changing our minds.”

There was no way she could accept that Helen’s total expenses over four years amounted to a mere 500,000.

Even the housemaids at the Morgans’ estate must have racked up more than that sum in four years of service.

This kind of manipulation? She had witnessed it countless times before.

Meanwhile, back in the SUV, Dale Lowe, the man with the buzz cut, remained as still as a statue behind the steering wheel, his hands poised and unwavering on the wheel.

From the rearview mirror, he observed Helen, who was resting in the back seat, her eyes gently closed, an air of tranquility surrounding her.

“Boss,” he ventured, a hint of eagerness creeping into his voice, “now that you’ve officially left the Morgans, why don’t we head straight back to the Null Zone? The guys have been waiting for you to return.”

Helen opened her eyes just a fraction, her voice cool and detached. “For now…”

She trailed off, her thoughts interrupted by the sudden ringing of her phone.

She glanced at the caller ID—an unfamiliar number from Veridia.

With a sense of curiosity mixed with trepidation, she answered. On the other end, a frantic voice cut through the static. “Ms. Walcott! I’m George Bowen, the butler Mr. Walcott sent to pick you up. I’m so sorry… I’ve been in a car accident on my way to the Morgans’ estate. I’m at Veridia Hospital right now, in the ER!”

Helen’s brow furrowed slightly.

Ms. Walcott? Butler?

Hadn’t the Morgans’ background check revealed that her biological family resided in one of the most impoverished slums in Veridia?

Those two words—“Ms.” and “butler”—didn’t quite mesh with the image of slum life, did they?

“Ms. Walcott… I’m truly sorry for the delay,” George continued, his voice heavy with remorse.

Helen maintained her tone, even and almost detached. “Give me the address. I’ll head there myself.”

George hurriedly provided the name of the neighborhood, but before he could finish, a frantic shout erupted in the background.

“Family of the patient in Bed 1! Where’s the family for Bed 1? Blood pressure is plummeting! Heart rate is spiking! We suspect internal bleeding. She needs to go into surgery immediately!”
