Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 98: Revenge? Yes!

Chapter 98: Revenge? Yes!

That gaze wasn’t because she was giving an elder attention and respect. Instead, that gaze meant she was actually talking to him.

Once she caught on to something, she could connect the other details together as well.

She slowly seemed to understand what was happening.

The ’brat’ was her husband.

And surprisingly, his ’guardian’ turned out to be her?

Professor Jones chuckled as she rubbed her forehead.

How and when did she become her husband’s guardian?

But she also seemed to understand something else.

Her husband did something to Helena that caused her to be delayed at an important event. So what happened to her was a revenge Helena took on her because of her husband?

This realization stunned her. She did not know if she should laugh or cry, or get angry.

Well, she got angry.

Yes, angry, alright?

But not at Helena.

Instead, it was at her husband.

Minister Morris felt a chill down his spine suddenly. When he looked at his wife, he found her staring at him angrily.

He stiffened. He loved his wife the most. Similarly, he feared his wife the most.

Helena saw them and smiled.

As if she did not notice anything, she cleared her throat and looked at Madam Morris, "Anyway, Professor Jones, I will be leaving as I still have to greet the other guests.

"And, Professor Jones. Since we already talked about this, let me remind you to take care of your family members as well. I mean, I always admired you and respected you from the bottom of my heart. But if your kids keep on speaking and doing something they shouldn’t with the outsiders, who knows what will happen. Right? I mean, it is not like you can be with them at all times to protect them, right?"

As she said those words, she looked at Faye, who had been silent all this while without interrupting anyone.

It looked like Helena was reminding Madam Morris of what Faye did earlier.

Actually, Grace meddled and made the matter worse, which made Helena have no choice but to team up with Faye. But that doesn’t mean that she accepted Faye’s words. Anyway, Faye was wrong. If not for Grace, Helena would have taught Faye a lesson at that time.

Now that she did not do anything at that time, she had to remind Madam Morris to take care of her daughter.

But everyone there also understood that she was not just talking about Faye but also Faye’s father.

Professor Jones understood this as well. She looked at the father and daughter duo and sighed.

She smiled at Helena, "I understand. Helena, thank you for taking care of Faye earlier. I apologize on behalf of her actions. I will teach her how to speak from now onwards. I will see that no one will trouble you from our house from now. Please go ahead and leave this matter to me."

No one directly talked about Minister Morris. But it was clear that Madam Morris promised Helena that her husband wouldn’t harm her anymore.

Helena smiled. She really respected Professor Jones. So her smiled towards the woman was genuine and sincere. She thanked her before leaving with Vernon.

Vernon blinked his eyes. He had not said a single word through the whole thing. Helena handled everything.

On the surface, nothing had happened. It was just a casual chat. Even if there were any undercurrents, it looked like it was between Helena and Faye, which was actually known to everyone in the circle.

But only the ones in the know know that actually something more happened in these few minutes.

The battle of wits wasn’t between Helena and Faye but was between Helena and Faye’s father. That was Minister Morris. The man who had many tricks up his sleeves to take care of his enemies. No one dared to go against this smiling tiger because no one knew what he would do from the shadows.

But when faced with such a person, Helena not only stood strong without showing any fear, but she actually won.

Not just won but won very beautifully.

First, she took revenge for his actions.

Didn’t he ’punish’ her because she used a few words about his wife? So, she made sure that very wife suffered the same consequences as she had suffered.

If she did not say a word, he wouldn’t have even realized that it had happened because of her. Yet, she went to him and revealed that it was she who did that.

Then, she even brought his wife to her side and complained to her that she should keep him in check.

So, no, even if he knew about what she had done, he wouldn’t do anything to her.

Why? Because he feared his wife and would never go against her.

Beautifully done.

Vernon looked at Helena in a daze.

He always knew she was smart. He knows that she will become scheming in the future. But he never knew she had been scheming from the start.

Unlike in his previous life, he did not hate her seeing this side of her.

Was it because he wasn’t the one who suffered in her hands?

Watching someone else suffer in her hands made him shiver in excitement.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helena asked him, under his intense gaze.

Vernon blinked his eyes and came out of the daze. He cleared his throat, "Ehem. Nothing. I was just surprised. How did you dare to go against Minister Morris like that? What if he retaliates again and this time we suffer more?"

The moment he said ’we’ instead of ’you’, Helena stopped walking and looked at him. She smiled. He did not consider that they were different. He considered them a team.

She felt warm in her heart.

She held his hand and patted it gently, "Don’t worry. I would never do something that would harm me. Or you."

She enunciated the word ’you’ to show that she cared for him more than she did herself.
