He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 895

Helena fell silent again.

She wanted to immediately shoot down the accusation, but inexplicably, the denial died on her tongue.

She had been fiercely entangled with Sebastian for five years.

It was impossible to just erase that kind of history overnight.

She had achieved her revenge.

The Hayes Corporation was crippled, and Sebastian had been forced to resign in disgrace.

Even though she knew a man like Sebastian wouldn't actually be ruined by this, it was a massive blow compared to where he started.

Was she happy?

She supposed she was, but the victory felt hollow.

Helena couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt so empty, so she opted to keep her mouth shut.

"I don't think this isolation thing is working for you," Sophia observed bluntly.

"What do you mean?" Helena finally looked up.

"If you really want to sever ties with Sebastian, you need to open yourself up to someone new. You need a distraction. Otherwise, he's just going to keep living rent-free in your head," Sophia advised, her tone practical and sharp.

After all, Sophia had had a front-row seat to the toxic rollercoaster of Helena and Sebastian's relationship.

She knew exactly how twisted and complicated Helena's emotional scarring was.

"I just don't have the energy to start over right now," Helena sighed.

"I'm not going to force you to marry the guy, but I think you should at least give it a shot. A casual date might change your perspective," Sophia shrugged.

Without missing a beat, she added, "At the very least, we are going to that play. He went through a lot of trouble to get those tickets."

"Alright," Helena agreed softly.

Common courtesy dictated she shouldn't reject the gesture.

Besides, those tickets were objectively a massive flex.

Xavier had put his sincerity on the table.

Since they were colleagues, making things painfully awkward wasn't a professional move.

Satisfied with her agreement, Sophia dropped the subject.

They finished their lunch and headed back to their respective offices.

Sophia had a lecture that afternoon, leaving Helena with a quiet block of free time.

She finalized a few reports and meticulously planned out her syllabus for the upcoming semester.
