Chapter 541
“It took me a lot of effort to convince you to come here.
Do you think I will let you go so easily?” As Helen spoke, she stood at the foot of the stairs to block Ariana’s way.

Ariana sensed something was wrong and tried to free her wrist from Helen’s tight grip.
However, Helen’s fingers were like pincers, gripping her wrist so tightly that Ariana thought she might bleed at any moment.
“There’s no way I’m letting you get back into Theodore’s life so easily!” Helen roared.
Her face was ferocious and her eyes were wide open.
She looked less like a human being and more like an angry ghost.
“Are you crazy?” Helen’s demeanor completely freaked Ariana out.
What did Helen want to do.
While Ariana was struggling, the pearl bracelet on her wrist broke, leaving a red mark on her wrist and scattering the pearls all over the floor.
Ignoring the pearl bracelet, Ariana let go of the handrail and tried to pull Helen’s fingers with the other hand in order to free her wrist.
How on earth could someone with heart disease have so much strength?
The sound of a car suddenly came from outside, and both Ariana and Helen stopped.
“Let go of me.
Someone is coming,” Ariana said angrily.
The light in the hallway in front of the villa was tured on and they heard someone enter the password for the front door.
Someone was about to enter.
Unlike Ariana who was nervous, Helen was totally relaxed.
She was actually smiling as if she was expecting this.
She said to Ariana gently, “I’ve told you that I know Theodore better than you do.
”
After saying this, Helen immediately put on a frightened expression and shouted, “Ariana, no!”
Helen grabbed Ariana’s hand and made it appear as though Ariana was trying to push her down the stairs.
She then let herself fall back and tumbled down the stairs.

The staircase of the Anderson family mansion, built from unyielding marble, bore witness to Helen’s shriek and subsequent tumble.
She landed on the railing, her silence rendering it unclear whether she was unconscious or worse.
The sudden incident left Ariana in a state of shock.
She stood at the top of the stairs, ready to help, but saw Horace quickly rushing in to check on Helen.
As she looked around, she noticed Theodore sitting in a wheelchair with a sad expression, gazing in her direction.
Ariana suddenly snapped back to reality as Theodore’s icy gaze bore into her, like a sharp, piercing jolt.

She looked at her still outstretched hand and couldn’t stop it from trembling.
This was likely the scenario Helen desired, Theodore witnessing her “causing”
Helen’s fall.
Ariana tried to find the words to explain, but Theodore silently observed her, offering no opportunity for her to speak.
At this moment, she felt like a criminal on trial, any attempt to say anything was futile.
A bitter smile graced her lips as she rasped, “Why are you here?”
