Chapter 877
Pushing through the crowd, Aldus burst into the room, demanding, “Speak! What transpired before the accident? Why did such a catastrophic crash occur?”
Though Helen didn’t recognize the elderly man standing before her, she astutely sensed that something was amiss.
These men had not harmed her, and from the old man’s anxious demeanor, it seemed he knew nothing.
An idea struck Helen, and she clutched her bandaged head, furrowing her brow as if in pain, and weakly said, “My head throbs terribly, and my memory is hazy.
Where is Theodore?”
As she spoke, she closely observed the old man, thinking that as Long as Theodore was absent, she had a chance to manipulate the situation in her favor.
Lost in thought, Aldus noticed how she immediately inquired about Theodore upon awakening, and he assumed her concern was genuine.
Unable to hide his grief, he somberly replied, “He is still in surgery.
”
Helen’s heart leaped with secret delight on hearing this news, though she concealed her joy.
She acted dazed, clutching her head, and timidly asked, “And Horace.
did he survive?”
A somber silence filled the room.
Observing their downcast eyes and mournful expressions, Helen could speculate the tragic answer.
Her excitement grew, and she could barely contain her elation.
As expected, she heard one man sorrowfully say, “He didn’t make it.
”
Helen clenched her teeth, suppressing a smile at the news.
She looked at them with wide, innocent eyes filled with tears.
“And… Ariana?” riana was in the car as well?” Aldus looked at Helen, bewildered.
“How can this be! The scene was thoroughly searched.
Only the three of you were found amidst the wreckage.
The unfortunate truck driver died instantly.
”
In an instant, Helen was overcome with more delight.
Though she knew nothing of Ariana’s whereabouts, for now, it seemed she was the sole witness to the events leading up to the crash.
As long as she pinned the blame on Ariana, she could escape unscathed before Theodore awakened!
With crocodile tears streaming down her cheeks, she dramatically explained, “I remember now! It was that wretch! She was in a furious altercation with Theodore throughout the drive.
When she couldn’t have her way, she flew into a rage and tried to wrest the wheel from Horace, causing the terrible accident!”
Helen spoke in an anguished tone, skillfully weaving her web of deceit.
“After the crash, while I was trapped and begging for help, she heartlessly abandoned us and fled the scene alone on foot!”
Though he didn’t know much about Ariana, Aldus was confident in Theodore’s taste.
The woman Theodore Loved wouldn’t do such a thing and abandon them.
Just then, a person entered and said, “Mr.
Fredrick, the monitor has been checked.
”
Aldus didn’t have time to ask Helen for more details.
He immediately rushed to check the monitor, followed by his bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Helen swiftly removed the needle from her hand, changed her clothes, and seized the opportunity to escape from the hospital.

Fortunately, the people watching her weren’t vigilant enough.
If they kept a closer eye on her, she would be doomed after Theodore woke up.
In another room, Aldus scrutinized the monitor seriously.
The footage showed that Theodore and Ariana had indeed quarreled when they came out of the building.
However, once they got into the car together, it seemed they had reconciled.
But then, the car suddenly lost control.
“Stop! Go back and zoom in here,” Aldus commanded, pointing at the monitor screen.
As they zoomed in, he saw Helen in the passenger seat suddenly grabbing the steering wheel from Horace.
The car began to move uncontrollably.
