Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 209

Chapter209

“You’re Wilfred’s daughter, right? Tell Helena to bring twenty million to my house to save me. She knows who I

am…”

Wilfred looked at Belinda, stunned for a moment.

The corners of his lips twitched slightly. Pinching Belinda’s nose, he said, “You imitate pretty well.”

“Daddy has to go back to the company. Be good and listen to Zoey.”

Wilfred walked out of the hospital room, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

Lately, Lena had indeed been acting a bit strange.

For her, the sound of her phone ringing was like a death knell, making her nervous and fearful.

She would also avoid everyone and hide far away whenever she answered a call.

He suspected that Lena had encountered something and was being threatened or coerced.

If he found out who was behind it, he would never let them off.

Wilfred walked toward his car while contacting Eugene.

“Check Helena’s call records for the past month. Find out the identity of every number she contacted.”

“Also, her bank statements… and all other transactions. Organize everything for me.”

Wilfred had always firmly believed that Helena was utterly loyal to him.

Even when he sensed that Helena might be hiding something from him, he thought it was only because she didn’t want him to worry, and found it understandable.

But reality has a way of slapping you in the face.

When Eugene handed over Elara’s file.

Wilfred’s first reaction was disbelief–this couldn’t be true.

How could Lena have lied to him?

She was eight when he brought her home, and she had told him herself that she had no parents.

Besides, he had had people look into it later–Helena’s mother, Darlene, had led a chaotic life and died in an accident.

Wilfred’s face was full of shock.

Eugene watched his expression carefully and quietly revealed the bank statements from the past few years.

Helena had transferred money to Elara nearly a hundred times, with a total amount as high as eight million.

A deep shadow fell over Wilfred’s face.

She had been deceiving him while using the money he gave her to spend on her mother?

Did she really take Wilfred for a fool with more money than sense?

Wilfred felt a furious sense of being made a fool of.

Eugene, reading the situation, reported in a low voice:

“On the second–hand market… there’s that set of jewelry you once had sent to Madam.”

“And several other sets you gave to Ms. Pollard over the years.”

“Ms. Pollard used them all to pay off her mother’s gambling debts.”

“I’ve checked–the total buyback price was twenty–two million, and now they’re all in the hands of people at Mistveil Alley.”

Rage burned fiercely inside Wilfred.

The fire didn’t erupt all at once.

Instead, it was a flame rising slowly but unstoppably from deep within his chest, scorching him.

“Freeze all of Helena’s cards. Lock up all the valuables in Rose Manor… Also, tell Shane that the gift agreement for Rose Manor is void!”

Meanwhile, Josephine couldn’t keep her emotions completely calm either.

In an abandoned factory, she gave Gideon enough money to take his wife and children abroad.

She and Gideon deleted all their contact information from each other’s phones in person.

Before leaving, Gideon said this to her:

“Madam, I help you not only because I owe you, but also because I feel guilty. During your hardest times, Matilda once mailed back the jewelry you gave her, but I intercepted it and handed it to Mr. Hayden… I’m sorry.”

Matilda… She hadn’t expected to hear that name from someone else again.

Back when she was taken away by the police, she knew it was Wilfred who had used Matilda’s grandfather to force Matilda to comply.

Just like Wilfred had used Patricia, the Good Samaritan Shelter, and the packaging factory to force her to compro-

mise.

Because her weak spots were under someone else’s heel, she had no choice but to be manipulated.

She knew Matilda was fiercely loyal to her, but at the time, she herself was like a clay idol crossing a river–unable to protect even herself.

Unable to protect Matilda, she had to pretend to be cold and told Matilda to take the jewelry and go abroad.

She hadn’t expected that silly girl to send it back right away.

Josephine asked Gideon that if he ran into Matilda in Country D, he must help her if he could.

After calming herself, Josephine made good use of the video the private detective had sent her.

Soon, she would be able to settle another score between her and Wilfred.

“There’s more drama at Novo Tech again.”

“Wow, who is this old woman with a face full of technology? Hard to imagine she has anything to do with Wilfred.”
