    Helena paused for effect, then beckoned im closer, her voice a calcted whisper. “Unless he


    publicly deres me his hancée, and Til just tell the judge we had a invere tiff if not, I’ll make sure


    his reputation is in Tallers” With a smug smile, Helena lit up a simm cigarette, the ember glowing to


    this thin light.


    ra observed her impassively, her tone low but filled with an unmistakable power. I’m afraid


    you’re in for a disappointment. As long as I’m here, nobody can hurt him”


    Helena exhaled a perfect smoke ring before fixing ra with a mocking gaze. “The police have


    evidence, I was assaulted, and they found traces ofn in me. What do you think you can do to win


    this case?”


    rasshes fluttered downward as she stirred her coffee absently with a spoon. “Since you’ve


    been intimate, is there anything memorable aboutn’s body?”


    With a confident till of her lips, Helena replied, “He has a birthmark on his left chest, a two–inch scar


    on his right arm, and a bluish birthmark on his buttock. During our lovemaking, I could see his eight


    pack abs. Am I right, Attorney ra?”

    ra met Helena’s gaze steadily, asking softly, “Did you not find the wolf tattoo on his lower


    abdomen thrilling?”


    A flicker of panic crossed Helena’s eyes, but she quickly masked it with augh, crushing her


    cigarette. “The room was too dark, and I was hardly in a position to notice such things.”


    ra’sugh was faint, almost imperceptible. “Right, I almost forgot you were ‘forced. Even after


    being withn for three years, I had no idea about that birthmark on his buttock. You have quite the


    eye for detail, Princess Helena.”


    The remark sent a ripple of unease through Helena. She stared at ra’sposed face and


    scoffed, “The stock of Hayes Corporation plummeted for just one day, and the market value


    vanished by tens of billions. If it continues to drop limit–down, do you thinkn will go bankrupt?”


    Helena’sugh was triumphant as she stood, her deep blue eyes scheming, n has two choices:


    deny everything and watch the Hayes empire crumble or ept my terms and get engaged to me.


    I’m sure you, who adoren so, wouldn’t want to see him dethroned.”


    With that, Helena grabbed her purse and sashayed away.


    ra remained seated, pondering Helena’s words. Dawson approached with concern. “Attorney


    ra, what did she say?”


    ra’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. “Dawson, you’ve been withn for five years. Have you ever


    seen a birthmark on his buttock?”


    Dawson shook his head immediately. “That’s a private matter. Even when we’ve gone swimming,


    we wear trunks.”


    This was the crux of ra’s suspicion. From their conversation, ra was convinced nothing had


    happened between Helena andn. Yet, how could Helena know such intimate details? Other than


    a lover, only family might know.


    At that thought, a chill flickered in ra’s eyes,


    A weekter, the highly anticipated trial ofn began. ra stood at thewyer’s bench, watching


    asn was escorted in prison garb. She looked at him openly, her gaze revealing a mix of


    determination and calm resolve, her expression still immacte despite the gravity of the situation.
