Chapter 171

Selena walked over, her heart aching, and hugged Helen. "Helen, you have to speak up. If you say nothing, how is your brother supposed to help. you!" She looked at Helen with red-rimmed eyes, having suffered too as Helen remained inside her room these past few days.

For the urst time. Helen felt completely helpless, the glory of the Flynn family always surrounding her. "A video," The suffocating pressure made it hard to breathe, and she knew that keeping silent might lead to something worse if it got exposed later. "What video? Xavier asked, eyeing Helen cautiously.

Selena also fell silent and released her hold on Helen

Helen's hands clutched together in a panic. "It's Yasmine! She gave a man 16.5 million to film me.. you know, that kind of video"

Xavier didn't need any more explanation; he understood what kind of video it was. But did Yasmine really spend 16.5 million to target Helen like this? He stared intently at Helen, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. "Did you do something again?"

"No. I didn't!" Helen couldn't meet his gaze, retreating behind Selena,

Selena shielded Helen with her body. "Xavier Your sister's so helpless, and yet that wench hurts her, and you still stand by her! You need to find that woman right now! If that video gets out, your sister's life will be ruined!" And the Flynn family would became the laughingstock of all of Soucrity: even she would face ridicule.

"Xavier! I really didn't do anything. You have to help me! I can't have everyone seeing that video. I'd die, I really would!" she sobbed uncontrollably, clutching Xavier's sleeve, refusing to let go

Xavier was well aware of the pressure the Flynn family would face if the video were leaked, but the footage was in Yasmine's hands now. He shook off Helen's hand. "What did you do? Tell me now!"

"I... I had someone kidnap her, but she bribed them instead, and they kidnapped me, and then.." Helen sobbed, clinging to Selena.

"Foolish! You are so foolish!" Xavier trembled with anger.

Helen shrank back in fear. "It's my Lault, Xavier. Please help me. I promise I won't cause a any more trouble.

"Helen knows she was wrong Stop scolding her it was just a moment of confusion, but that woman had no right to treat her like that" Selena hurriedly defended her daughter
