Chapter 619: Helen Was The One George Loved

Helen’s POV

The next morning, Lucy and I traveled to work together.

She complained endlessly about George’s ruthlessness all the way "I’ve never met such a scoundrel in
my life! Before I went to Florida, he promised me that I would receive a handsome commission as long
as I would bring Dyer to him. Now that I made it and Dyer came to New York, he had broken his
promise! If he didn’t want to pay me the commission, he could have told me fat out.

But no! He had to send me on a wild goose chase to the human resource and finance departments.

They threw their policies in my face and laughed behind my back! What a fool I was to trust George!
Damn it! He is a hypocrite.

A utilitarian like him cannot be trusted! I’ve never been wrong before! I’ll take this encounter with
George as a serious lesson about trust.

Helen, you should applaud yourself for breaking up with that cheat It’s the best decision you’ve
made.He can never honor his word!"

Lucy was in a frenzy all the way until we got out of the subway I’d been listening to her complaints
quietly, but my heart was a raging river George had no reason to treat Lucy so badly Obviously, he did
so just to embarrass me.

It was a private matter between George and me Why did he have to drag Lucy into it? Why was he
being so mean to her? The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt.

As soon as I arrived at Zhester Technology, I went directly to George’s office.

On seeing me, George’s assistant rushed to stop me.



"Miss Dewar! Mr Arfleck is in a meeting right now.On no account can he be disturbed If there is
anything you need, let me know and I’ll convey your message to him."

She looked comedic trying to block my way with her outstretched hands I brushed past her.

"No, thanks I will wait in his office"

I openly defied George’s assistant and pushed open the door.

In fact, I was only putting on a brave front.I was nervous, but I had to do what was right in my heart for
Lucy "Miss Dewar! You can’t go in without an appointment!"

George’s exasperated assistant followed me and tried to stop me again.

However, I ignored her instruction and barged in.

George was indeed having a meeting He was engaged with Jane and Boswell around the small
meeting table.

As I entered, they all looked up at me, disturbed.

"George, is your office accessible to just anyone right now?"

Jane asked coldly George frowned but didn’t answer her Boswell however, greeted me with a gentle
look

"Miss Dewar, what do you want to see George so urgently about? We are in an important meeting If
you’re not in a hurry, you could come back when we’re done"

I nodded apologetically "I apologize for my intrusion I’ll wait outside When I was about to leave, George
addressed me "What do you want? With a frown, he suspended the meeting, got up, walked to his



desk and invited me in I felt it was inappropriate to discuss Lucy’s matter in front of Jane and Boswell,
so i flinched

"I didn’t mean to bother you.I can come back some other time"

I had suddenly lost the confidence I had rushed in with I admitted I was a bit impulsive, and I regretted
it the moment I barged in But I had no choice.I had to talk to George "Helen, I’mri very busy Tell me
what you need."

He looked at me emotionless Even so, he still sat back down at his desk and waited patiently for me to
explain my urgency I clenched my fists and plucked up the courage

"If you are upset about what happened between us, I am ready to apologize to you I think you know
how difficult it was for Lucy to finally get Dyer to New York from Florida The task was fraught with
challenges yet she succeeded in her assignment."

George looked at me, confused.

"What exactly do you want to say "I mean that although things didn’t work out between us, that does
not mean that you should take it out on Lucy She has dedicated a lot to this position and has worked
extremely hard Why haven’t you held up your end of the bargain and paid her the commission she is
duly entitled to? Besides, Lucy is very persistent She will definitely hound Dyer until he joins Zhester
Technology."

I said firmly All of a sudden, George burst out into a horrendous laugh that left me shocked.It was filled
with cold haughtiness.

"Do you honestly think that I instructed them to make life difficult for Lucy?"



Had I misunderstood him? Why would they treat Lucy so rudely if George hadn’t instructed them to? I
subconsciously wanted to argue back, but when I saw the anger on his face, I held back my words.

I looked at him sharply with my head high in an unyielding manner.

"Who are you to barge into my office and question me?" George asked reproachfully staring at me "Do
you think I am the genie who will fulfill your every command?"

I was stunned by George’s words.

Why was I so confident before I came in? I had assumed that George had a soft spot for me and would
give in to my demands.

Hence, my gatecrashing his office..His stern questioning made me suddenly ashamed of myself for
having crossed the line.

"I’m sorry for my impulsiveness.I just wanted to seek justice for Lucy." I said to George.

trying really hard to keep calm "I know that Lucy will get Dyer into the company. I sincerely hope you
will deliver on your promise."

After finishing my words, I left his office without looking back.I ran away as fast as my legs would carry
me the moment I closed the door.I had committed a terrible mistake.

Although George and I were never in a serious relationship, we were close for a while As a result of
that, I was probably looking at the current situation with rose tinted glasses.

George was absolutely right.

It was not within my rights to question him.



Jane’s POV

I took a look at the closed door and then at George, my eyes shouting in silence Although he
pretended to be fine, I could still see widespread sadness and loneliness in his eyes Before I could
recover from the shock, I saw George make internal calls to the human resource and the finance
departments to confirm payment of Lucy’s commission "Yes.Pay her from my personal account.Do it
now!"

There was no hesitation or strain in his voice Because of a woman, he had once again broken the
principles that he had adhered to for years "What was that all about?"

Boswell asked curiously "Let’s continue with the meeting."

George deliberately changed the subject.

He sat back down at the meeting table, without offering any kind of explanation Boswell and I looked at
each other and realized that it was Helen whom George really loved Lucy was just a smoke screen.

How on earth could it be Helen? Why did George love her? Why her of all people? I kept running these
questions in my mind.

The nightmare of my youth suddenly swept over me, and I was caught off guard..

After work, I called my mother "Did you have a quarrel with George?" my mother asked before I could
say anything My mother and I were more like best friends than mother and daughter.

She could always read right through me.

"No,"



I denied "I haven’t seen George for a long time I am planning to come there next week.Is that okay with
you?" my mother said softly.

– "Mom, what makes you want to come back so suddenly?" I asked in surprise.

My mother had not come back even once since we moved abroad.

"You’ve gone back.What’s the point of me living abroad alone? I’m lonely here.I’ve been abroad for too
long.No matter how good the life here is, there’s no place like home," my mother replied.
