Chapter: 544
As a result, Helen was resolute in bringing Theodore and Ariana’s relationship to an end.
“After Marley’s death, Theodore has never been close to any woman, nor has he ever contemplated
marriage. Do you genuinely believe that he will fall in love with you? Don’t harbor such illusions. It’s all
a lie.”
Helen’s emotions grew increasingly unstable, and the jealousy in her heart ignited like a spark igniting
a wildfire. She found herself in an uncontrollable situation, and her patience wore thin. “I suggest you
leave Theodore. Your relationship with him will never have a future. If Theodore hadn’t been in a
vegetative state due to his accident, Uncle Darian wouldn’t have permitted you to marry into the
Anderson family. Theodore would have never married you in his entire life.” ©
According to Helen’s account, Marley and Theodore had grown up together and no one could step in.
However, Ariana found herself skeptical. While she was unaware of Theodore’s past, she possessed

the heart. How, then, could he have experienced such a profound first love?
If indeed such a love existed, Ariana pondered why it had never been mentioned during her time spent
in this place.
“Helen, enough with the fabrications,” she retorted, her voice laced with disbelief.
“If what you say is true, why has Judy never mentioned it?”
“Are you being naive, Ariana, or merely deceiving yourself?” Helen jeered, her face contorted with
disdain. “Judy is nothing more than a servant. Even if she possessed the audacity to gossip, she would
never dare to do so in the presence of her masters.
Also, Judy came here just six years ago. The information she imparted to you was nothing more than
hearsay.”
“Then how did you know? What connection do you have with Theodore and Marley?” Narrowing her
eyes suspiciously, Ariana couldn’t help but wonder if Helen was merely attempting to assume Marley’s
role. After all, according to Helen’s description, Marley had a fondness for white dress, a preference
that Helen always seemed to indulge. Such thoughts swirled within Ariana’s mind.
Helen lifted her head haughtily and spoke with an air of superiority. “I was Marley’s only true friend
during her time alive. It was her dying wish to find a cure for my congenital heart disease.”
Ariana’s laughter escaped involuntarily, tinged with a sense of disbelief. “So, Theodore cares for you so
deeply solely due to Marley’s dying wish?”
With a pitiful gaze fixed upon Helen, Ariana couldn’t help but pity her. “You are merely basking in
Marley’s glory.”
“shut up!” The remark struck a nerve, causing Helen to wince in pain as her expression contorted into a
scowl. “Even if I hold only a small place in Theodore’s heart because of Marley, it is still better than
being in your place. At least within Theodore’s heart, I am Helen, not someone else’s substitute.”
Ariana’s wariness surged, her voice now laced with caution. “What exactly do you mean by that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHelen snorted and began to recite, “Do you like blue, spicy food, horror movies, puppets, rock and
heavy metal music? Your favorite band, The Death-bound birth.”
“What? Do you want to say that I’m a substitute for Marley?” Ariana was furious.
“Come on, there are so many people who like these things in the world.”
Helen produced a photograph from her pocket. It was a group photo featuring Ariana and Jasper, but it
appeared to be a fresh copy with a pristine edge, freshly printed.
In the image, Ariana wore a white dress, her face adorned with a sweet and innocent smile as she
gazed towards the camera, cradling Jasper in her arms. The photograph clearly captured a moment
when Ariana had recently fallen deeply in love with Jasper.
Ariana vividly remembered that the original version of this photo had been torn to pieces and discarded
in the trash can. How had Helen managed to obtain it?
