Chapter 88: Inheritance? Yes!

Chapter 88: Inheritance? Yes!

But he ended up in failure.

Helena looked at him and joined him in laughter.

"Okay, okay. You can say that in front of me but not in front of my brother. You don’t know. He holds grudges. You should be careful about what you say in front of him." He warned her softly.

Helena chuckled and nodded, "Of course I know that. Do you think I am an idiot to talk like that in front of Brother Vincent? I don’t have a death wish, alright?"

While joking around, they got in the car, and Vernon heard Helena’s phone ding with notifications.

Vernon understood that whatever that was, it was sent by that makeup artist.

Helena opened her phone and started looking at its contents seriously.

Vernon blinked his eyes. He was stunned by Helena’s thoughts.

She was reading a long list at a crazy speed.

He almost did not understand what she was reading, but from the few words he caught here and there, he understood what was going on.

She was reading the details about people. If he remembered right, all those people were the guests at the party they were going to right now.

He blinked his eyes but did not disturb her.

He understood her intentions. She wanted to be a good host and know everything about her guests. That wasn’t something new in their circle.

That wasn’t what he was stunned about.

What he did not understand was why a makeup artist would send her this information.

The studio that they had hired for Helena’s makeup and dress was owned by a mysterious person. It was a personal studio which was famous for its designs and work efficiency

So after looking through a long list, they selected the best studio for Helena for that night.

In the entire process, no one ever heard of any connection between Helena and that studio.

Even if there was a connection, why should she hide it from them? Vernon did not understand this.

Helena raised her head when she felt Vernon’s intense gaze on her. She looked at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my makeup?"

Vernon shook his head, "No. It’s not that. What are you looking at on your phone?"

Helena blinked her eyes and smiled, "Nothing. Just checking a few messages. What happened? Do you need to talk about something with me?"

Vernon causally shrugged, "Nothing important. I just wanted to ask you if you know that makeup artist from before."

"Why do you ask?" Helena frowned and asked.

[Did I mess up anywhere? I don’t think so, right? Except for one silly mistake from her side, I don’t think I slipped up anywhere. Why did he doubt it?]

She was almost hyperventilating, thinking that she had messed up somewhere.

Vernon was confused by her reaction, but he also felt bad for her and smiled while shaking his head, "Nothing much. I just asked casually. I just thought that you looked like you made a friend. I saw you both were having a blast while thinking of your dress, makeup, and whatnot."

"Oh. That?" Helena sighed in relief and smiled. "Hehe. You are right. It is not easy to find a person who would understand your ideas easily and match the vibe. She is good."

Vernon smiled and turned away, looking out of the car, enjoying the scenery.

In fact he was just letting Helena relax so that she would think he did not doubt anything.

Helena saw that he did not ask her any further and relaxed even more.

[Sigh! Thank God! Looks like he really did not doubt anything. If he found something, what would I do?]

Vernon, with his back facing her, frowned. Why was she so worried that he would find something? What was so special about that woman that she had to worry so much about him finding out about it?

[Uff! Seriously! Managing this place is difficult than what mom said.]

Vernon blinked his eyes. (Mom? Why is Mother Ford involved in this matter now?)

He was confused as he continued listening to her thoughts.

[Having a place to give me all the information I need is good, but keeping the identity a secret is as difficult. How good would it be if Mom had explained this matter to me better before? She suddenly gave this to me through her will, and I have to cope with so much all at once. Sigh!]

Vernon once again blinked his eyes in confusion. He seemed to understand what she was thinking, but also not.

What he understood was that Helena’s mother had been the one who managed the studio before. It was helpful in finding the information they needed. Even though he did not understand how exactly that place worked, he understood how special the place was.

While Mother Ford was still alive, she never said anything about managing such a place to Helena. Only after her death did Helena find out about that place, and that too, because she inherited that place through her mother’s will.

For some reason, Helena got the instruction from her mother that she had to keep this matter a secret.

Well, actually Vernon could understand this point.

Having a place that could gather information. How could that place be exposed to the world just like that?

He wondered if Father Ford knew about that place.

Vernon felt his head buzz with so much information.

If Helena got such a place from her mother’s will, that must have happened in their last life as well. So she had such a huge buff in her hand, but not once did she reveal it to him?

Now he could actually understand how she managed to gain the Jeffery’s shares without spending a single penny. Even though he did not have the full details, it isn’t needed anymore, as it is very easy to understand what could have happened then.

With Helena’s intelligence and having such an information center at her beck and call, it isn’t much of a feat.
