Chapter 489


    Chapter 489 Are They Rted by Blood?


    There had always been a disparity in strength between men and women, and with Helia''s fragile body,


    she was helpless and bullied.


    Tears flowed down her face, tasting salty and bitter at the corners of her mouth.


    "Don''t do this…"


    But how would someone who was drunk pay attention to such things? He pinned Helia to the ground


    and began to have his way with her.


    Unfortunately, when he pinned her down, her head hit the ground and a wave of dizziness hit her. She


    passed out directly.


    When she woke up again, she felt pain in her lower body and found herself lying in the hospital, feeling


    particrly weak.


    Her family was standing around her. Michael looked at her with tears in his eyes.


    "I''m sorry, Helia…"


    Helia could not bear this great sorrow, but she was getting calmer. Only her eyes were red. "It''s okay,


    Dad. It''s not your fault."


    How could it not be his fault? When Helia was discovered, she only had one covering and was almost


    entirely naked.


    Fortunately, the person who found her was a woman who knew her. When she saw what had


    happened to Helia, she wrapped the woman in a nket before calling for help.


    Michael saw this scene and was stunned.


    His eldest daughter, Helena, eloped and his second daughter, Helia, was taken against her will. For


    him, this was a fatal blow.


    "Don''t worry, Helia. I will seek justice for you."


    A naked man was lying at the scene, and Michael immediately recognized him as Theodore''s younger


    brother.


    "You beast!"


    Michael kicked the man fiercely. When the man woke up from his drunken stupor and saw the situation


    before him, he was also at a loss.


    Later, Michael had him arrested and detained in the basement.


    When Helena eloped, the Joneson Family became aughingstock throughout ydal.


    The marriage between the Jonesons and Winthrops was naturally called off. When Theodore learned


    that Helena had eloped, he was utterly disappointed. Then, when he found out what his younger


    brother had done to Helia, he was even more devastated.


    His younger brother had always been a scoundrel, but he didn''t expect him to be such a beast and do


    such a despicable thing while drunk.


    Theodore had a good rtionship with his younger brother since childhood, and his mother was crying


    and screaming in fear that her son would go to jail. At this time, she naturally wanted to find a way to


    save him. To obtain Michael''s forgiveness, Theodore had to give up his marriage ande to the


    Joneson Residence to apologize.


    Michael''s contempt for Theodore grew deeper as he looked at the son-inw, whom he had initially


    been delighted with, helping a man who had defiled his daughter.


    "What''s done is done. No matter what you say, I will still sue him. Let''s meet in court." Michael vowed


    to himself, I will send that b*stard who defiled my daughter to jail even if I have to use my connections!


    "Old Mr. Joneson, our families have a close rtionship. I don''t think it''s wise for you to be so harsh on


    us…" Theodore was at a disadvantage, so he could only exin gently.


    "Close rtionship? What are you talking about?" Michael found it ridiculous for Theodore to say these


    words. "Your brother defiled my daughter. Shouldn''t youe and apologize to me instead? Why talk


    about our families'' rtionship?"


    Michael tried his best to suppress his anger so he wouldn''t say anything too harsh and sarcastic.


    "But—" Theodore wanted to continue exining but, at this time, a panicked person suddenly rushed


    into the hall.


    "Sir, Miss Helia has jumped off the building!"


    Those words almost made Michael faint. "What did you say? She jumped off the building?"


    "Yes! Miss Helia jumped off the building and has already been taken to the hospital."


    At this point, Michael had lost all reason and he growled mercilessly, "I have decided to sue him. Not


    only that, but I also want him to never get out of jail!"


    With that, he left in a hurry and rushed to the hospital.


    Unfortunately, by the time he arrived at the hospital, the notice of critical illness had already been


    issued.


    Michael''s gaze turned ck when looking at the patient with no signs of life. After signing his name, he

    fainted.


    The story had be very absurd at this point, prompting Elspeth to ask, "What happenedter? How


    did you avoid being buried alive?"


    Helia frowned slightly. "I don''t know either. When I woke up, I was already abroad. ording to the


    news, the Joneson Family had already cremated the body, and even the funeral had been arranged."


    "Abroad? Why did you go abroad?"


    She shook her head. "I don''t know either. It''s been so many years and I still haven''t found the reason.


    Butter, I realized I was indeed restricted in the Joneson Family and had been defiled there. My


    reputation was already ruined, so I decided to live here incognito instead of going back to revive


    myself. That''s why I choose to live abroad alone."


    Later on, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Elspeth.


    It was challenging for a woman to raise a child abroad, so she could only take Elspeth back to Chars.


    At this point, she secretly contacted her sister, Helena, and sought her help.


    Helena had naturally heard about what had happened during this time and felt guilty, moved, and a little


    bit heartbroken for her. Grover, Helena''s husband, was also moved, so they quickly agreed to help and


    promised to treat Elspeth as their daughter.


    Then, Helia left Chars without any worries and went abroad.


    After listening to these stories, Elspeth understood the situation and could onlyfort Helia by saying,


    "It''s okay, Aunt… No—Mom, don''t be too sad."


    When Helia heard Elspeth call her a mother, her eyes became red with tears. "Elspeth, my good child.


    I''m sorry for what I''ve done to you."


    Twenty-five yearster, the two met again after twists and turns, which sounded challenging but


    ultimately beautiful.


    Elspeth was also quite happy, but when she mentioned Helena and learned that she had passed away,


    Helia couldn''t help but cry.


    "Don''t cry. Although my mom is no longer with us, she is happy and can reunite with my father. It''s


    better this way."


    At this moment, Elspeth could only console herself and Helia with those words.


    Helia nodded and wiped her tears with a tissue. "Indeed. They were close, so it''s good for them to be


    reunited now."


    While some were happy, others were sad. Elspeth turned her head to look at Callum, who had a


    solemn expression. Her heart skipped a beat as a terrifying thought slowly brewed. Are Callum and I…


    rted by blood?!
