Chapter 140 - I will request reimbursement of court costs

Big projects, my ass! They were all the same shitty plots, backyard productions disguised as blockbusters, only the titles changed!The truth was crystal clear: the only reason Camila didn't want Helena to leave Vox Talents was so she could keep a close eye on her. The “White Lotus” wanted to keep her under her control, trapped in a slave contract forever. Camila feared that if Helena became desperate enough and free of the contract, she might try to return to the Rodrigues family and claim her rightful place.At that very moment of tension, the meeting room door was brutally thrown open.The sound of expensive leather shoes echoed throughout the room. It was the elite lawyers from Vox Talents who had arrived for the slaughter.Not one. But three of them at once.Helena felt her stomach drop. She knew the man who led the trio: Antonio Andrade, the feared senior legal advisor and watchdog of the Rodrigues Corporation.

Chapter 141 - The truth behind Helena's support

In a direct confrontation against three senior lawyers, lawyer Tavares fired off articles of law, legal precedents, and abusive clauses without stopping to breathe. He spoke for a full half hour.Faced with his overwhelming attack, the three elite lawyers from Vox Talents, including the great Antonio Andrade, were reduced to mere first-semester students. They were speechless, stammering, with cold sweat running down their pale faces. They knew that if they took that inflated contract to court against a monster like Tavares, they would lose their licenses to practice law.The end result was unconditional surrender.They signed the contract termination. The deal was sealed with the exact eight million from the briefcase, freeing Helena from her ties to Vox Talents forever. They couldn't get a single penny more out of her from that absurd $60 million fine.Ah, wait. That wasn't entirely correct. They did receive an addition.Before closing the briefca

Chapter 142 - Finally free from the shackles of the Rodrigues family.

Outside the Vox Talents skyscraper.The cool night wind blew against Helena's face, messing up her hair, but bringing the intoxicating scent of absolute freedom. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a second.I am free. Finally free from the chains of the Rodrigues family.She opened her eyes and looked at the tall, silent figure of the man beside her, who was already opening the door of the black car for her.Even after they had left the building triumphant, Helena's mind still couldn't process the magnitude of what had happened inside.Who would have thought that this lawyer in a suit, so formal, quiet, and impassive, would turn into such a fierce and bloodthirsty beast at the negotiating table?Helena got into the car, feeling her heart race.If a simple subordinate, activated with a single phone call, possessed such power that he could make the capital's elite lawyers tremble and stammer... how terrifying, vast, and unattainable was the true power of the man who pulled the

Chapter 143 - How can I not fall head over heels for someone like that?

In the luxurious, quiet interior of the car, Helena's adrenaline began to subside, giving way to a comfortable exhaustion.“Miss, where are we going now?” asked the driver, looking in the rearview mirror with deep respect.Helena looked at the city lights passing by the window and, without hesitation, replied with warmth in her heart:“Let's go home.”She leaned her head back against the soft leather seat. She paused and, noticing a detail she had ignored for days, couldn't help but ask:"By the way... why do you all call me only ‘Miss’ or ‘Miss Helena,’ and not ‘Miss Rodrigues’?Now that she stopped to think about it, everyone at the Ballmer residence, from the strict butler to the maids and corporate subordinates, avoided her last name as if it were a dirty word.“It was the CEO who gave the express order, Miss,” replied the driver with a slight smile. “He instructed that your biological family's last name never be mentioned in your presence.”“Oh... I see.”Helena's heart leapt in

Chapter 144 - They'll think... she sold herself.

— Henrique... you asked the chief lawyer of your empire, the man who frequently deals with multi-billion dollar mergers and financial transactions around the world... to go to a small-time agency to help me resolve an eight million dollar contract termination?!To Helena, the discrepancy was comical and shocking. It was exactly as if an emperor had summoned the supreme commander of the armed forces just to help a village peasant find out who stole her chicken!Henrique, his hands elegantly in his dress pants pockets, didn't blink. He looked her in the eye, his deep voice full of meaning that made Helena's heart skip a beat.“Just in case,” he replied calmly. He didn't need to say anything else. The message in his eyes was clear: When it comes to you, Helena, nothing in the world is too insignificant.That night, the atmosphere at the Ballmer mansion was light and intoxicating.“Have you taken a look at the contract

Chapter 145 - She dug her own moral grave.

“So what did you want me to do?! Do nothing and just watch her turn the situation around and shine?!” Camila was completely hysterical, her hands shaking, unable to bear the humiliation of seeing Helena on top. “I spent so much! I ruined my image, I really hurt myself, and I lost eight million for nothing!”“Camila, calm down! Things aren't as bad as you think they are!” Tania grabbed the actress's shoulders, forcing her to focus. “Helena's reputation is already ruined in this industry. She has the label of ‘violent criminal.’ Not even the richest sponsor in the world can save her image in the public eye!” Besides, Vox released a statement condemning her. Who in their right mind would dare to hire a banned and hated artist? This is the end of her career on screen, period!Tania squeezed her shoulders, her eyes shining with calculating malice.“Besides, think logically. Today's incident had a huge

Chapter 146 - He needed to crush Helena.

While the two were acting out that twisted romantic drama, there was another sharp knock at the door.Edward got up to open it and was surprised to find the family patriarch and matriarch standing there.“Uncle Pedro! Aunt Brenda!”“Dad! Mom!” Camila's eyes widened in surprise, and she made a move to get up quickly from the bed, moaning in “pain.”Brenda Rodrigues ran to the bed and pressed her adopted daughter's shoulders adoringly.“Don't move, my love! You're still hurt, stay still and lie down. We came as soon as we heard about that disgusting press conference!”The face of Pedro Rodrigues, the imposing CEO of the Rodrigues Group, was as dark as a storm cloud.“Camila, don't worry about anything,” Pedro declared, his voice trembling with restrained anger. “I came here personally to promise you that I will get justice for you. I will put that ungrateful woman in her place, even if I have to tie her up and drag her by her hair to this hospital so she can kneel and beg for your forgi

Chaptter 147 - a lovely family of three

Henrique walked to the edge of the balcony, closing the distance between them as much as the physical space allowed.“I heard raised voices on the balcony. I came out to see what was going on.” He looked her over from head to toe, searching for any sign of tears. “Are you okay?”Helena shrugged, resting her elbows on the railing, with the same relaxed expression as always.“I’m perfectly fine. It was Pedro Rodrigues. It’s always the same old story when he calls me. Honestly, I can even recite the script of threats and insults backwards. It’s exhausting.”Henrique wasn’t a man of many words, and comforting people was definitely not part of his resume as a ruthless CEO. But, moved by an instinct he reserved only for her, he reached his long arm over the dividing railing.His large, warm hand rested gently on the top of Helena’s head, caressing her loose strands with a tenderness that was heartbreaking.“Don’t be sad,” he murmured, his voice hoarse.Helena smiled. In the silvery moonligh

Chapter 148 - Why does it suddenly feel like we're going on a romantic date?

The underground garage at the Ballmer mansion was less a garage and more like the showroom of a luxury car dealership.As she looked at the row of gleaming supercars under the LED lights, Helena swallowed hard. Her eyes instinctively settled on a pearlescent white Bugatti, whose aerodynamic lines seemed to scream money and speed.Noticing where her gaze had been drawn, Henrique Ballmer, with his son in his arms, stopped beside her.“Shall we take this one?” he asked, his tone casual, as if he were offering a bicycle.Helena snapped back to her senses and shook her head frantically, her eyes wide.“Of course not! Henrique, we’re going to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables and fresh fish—how could we possibly go in a Bugatti?! Do you have a more… human car? Something more discreet?”She looked around the monumental garage. Among the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Rolls-Royces, the word “discreet” seemed not to exist in the Ballmer family’s vocabulary.Henrique smiled slightly at her pan

Chapter 149 - Does Mateo really look like me?

Henrique looked at his son with a solemn yet teasing expression.“You know you’re too heavy for her to carry, don’t you?”Upon hearing the word “heavy,” Mateo froze. He looked down at his own little body and widened his eyes. The Little Prince seemed to have taken a devastating blow to his ego, just like a vain little girl who had just been called fat. He pouted, trembling and indignant.Helena found the scene adorable and funny, but she hurried to stroke the boy’s cheek to comfort him.“Hey, sweetheart, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense! You’re not heavy at all—you’re cute! And you can even gain a little more weight if you want; Auntie can handle it! It’s just that your dad has bigger arms, so he can hold you more firmly in the crowd. And he’s also much taller, so you’ll have a great view of everything from up here!”Mateo reluctantly accepted the explana
