Chapter 119 He’s Helping her
The Lewis Group was Darcy’s company, but she couldn’t come back from the annual meeting in Hail City. As Darcy’s good friend, she had to go to the annual meeting.
Hellen woke up late. At nine in the morning, Tiffany arrived at the Jovano family’s house.
Hellen takes Tiffany and goes to the meeting place for the Lewis Group’s annual meeting.
They didn’t have a strict requirement on clothes.
When Hellen entered, she saw quite a few familiar faces.
The venue was very lively and many female stars had come to participate. Hellen saw Vivian in the crowd and greeted her. After chatting for a while, she found a place to sit down.
The location was in a corner, extremely quiet. Hellen enjoyed being lazy. The place where she sat just happened to be next to a Roman pillar, a layer of curtains attached to it.
Hellen sat behind the curtain and slowly drank a cup of juice, trying to kill time.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside the curtain.
Hellen held a snack in one hand, listening to the giggling voices of the women outside.
Hellen had not paid attention to their conversation until she heard Hans’s name.
After a slight pause, the voices of the women became clearer.
“Everyone says that Hans married Hellen and then divorced.”
“We know. But why is it that Hellen is pregnant?”
“How did you know she was pregnant?”
“Didn’t you see? You saw her belly when she came just now. I saw her at the banquet last time and felt that she was a little fat. Didn’t she get fatter? No one gets fatter except for the stomach, and the other parts of the body don’t get fatter.”
“Is she really pregnant? Whose baby is that? Hellen and Hans didn’t seem to have gotten married after their divorce, did they?”
“Although she’s not married, wasn’t there bad news between Eddie Levi and her?”
The women discussed and laughed gossipily.
“Hellen’s belly looks big. Is this baby Hans Grant’s or Eddie Levi’s?”
“Nonsense. That must be Eddie Levi’s baby. How could the Grant family not acknowledge their baby?”
“I don’t think so. Maybe it’s not Hans Grant and Eddie Levi’s baby. Hellen is so beautiful, and she likes to flirt with boys. Otherwise, why would she, a rich young lady, do a live broadcast? She even asked a handsome young man to help her.”
Their discussion caused Hellen’s brows to furrow slightly. She extended a hand, wanting to pull open the curtain. She wanted to see who was talking about her behind her back.
She didn’t want to pursue the matter when they talked about her, but she couldn’t stand the fact that they insulted her unborn child.
As soon as the curtain was lifted slightly, Hellen heard the sounds outside immediately quieten down.
Hans’s voice came through the curtain. His voice was indifferent and full of momentum.
He seemed to intentionally not restrain his oppressive voice. Hellen heard him say, “How dare you talk about her like this?”
The women replied cautiously, “Mr. Grant, we were just joking!”
“Mr. Grant, I’m sorry! We heard it from someone else. We were just chatting!”
Hellen’s grip on the curtain tightened slightly. Hans did not know that she was here and she did not want to go out now.
The women apologized continuously. The man’s voice was very flat as he said, “You don’t need to apologize to me. I’m not the one you’re talking about. You should apologize to Hellen.”
“Do you want us to apologise to Miss Jovano?” Several women cried out in surprise.
How were they supposed to apologize to her in person behind her back?
If they told Hellen, “Hellen, I’m discussing whose child it is. I’m sorry.” It was very strange.
Hans’s voice was cold. “You can choose not to apologize to Hellen, as long as you can bear the price of what you said today.”
“We… We will apologise.” Someone replied in a trembling voice.
Hellen waited until the outside had quietened down before the women left in a hurry. She lightly pursed her lips and sat down on a chair.
She tilted her head slightly and leaned her head against the column, looking down at the juice in her hand.
Hans did not know that Hellen was here, but he was protecting her and the baby in her belly.
Hellen had a complicated feeling. It’s strange and warm. But when she thought of Hans’s past behavior, she forced herself not to forgive him.
“Forget it. Maybe this is just the Grant Group’s reputation protection for the partner. Maybe in his eyes, it’s also part of his responsibility.”
Hellen’s mood was a bit complicated. She sat there for a while, but only when the Chairman of the Lewis Group appeared did she stand up and walk out.
Darcy’s parents knew of the relationship between their daughter and Hellen. They liked Hellen very much , and so they chatted with her for a while.
After they left, Hellen saw a few women walking towards her hesitantly.
They were all in their twenties and looked guilty.
Hellen immediately knew who they were. Those women pushed a person forward.
“I’m sorry, Miss Jovano.”
Hellen’s expression was indifferent. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
The woman hesitated, and the others pushed her again.
“We… we shouldn’t have spoken ill of you earlier. I am sorry!”
Hellen’s eyes flashed slightly as she asked, “What are you discussing about me?”
The women clutched each other’s hands and smiled awkwardly as they hurriedly explained to her.
“That’s nonsense from the outsiders. They said you were pregnant, so we discussed it. Now we think it’s wrong to talk about you behind your back, so we came to apologize to you.”
Hellen glanced at them. Since these women could attend the Lewis Group’s annual meeting, their company must have had some collaboration with the Lewis Group.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
If others wanted to gossip about her, she couldn’t do anything about it. Because of Darcy, she didn’t care too much about it.
Hellen looked at them indifferently and said, “I don’t want to hear others talk about me behind my back in the future. Today is the annual meeting of the Lewis Group. I won’t argue with you. I hope you can reflect on yourselves.”
The women looked at each other with awkward smiles on their faces.
“Thank you, Miss Jovano!”
“Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss Jovano. We won’t listen to anyone else talk about us in the future.”
Hellen didn’t like to hear flattery. She watched as the women left.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared, and her aura was so powerful that people couldn’t ignore it. People around also looked over.
The reactions of the people around is…
Hellen sighed. She could almost smell the Eaglewood coming from that person’s body.
This smell made her very annoyed. She turned around, and as expected, Hans was already standing behind her.
Hellen’s face was very calm. She greeted him lightly, “Mr. Grant.”
Hans’s eyes flickered slightly. “Hum.”
They stood in the same place, and their relationship made others couldn’t help but pay attention to them. Many people immediately looked over.
Hellen felt uncomfortable, but when she remembered that Hans had protected her just now, she stood still.
