CHAPTER 549: CHAPTER 549: WASTING TIME

Seeing Paige Sterling not speaking, Helen Hale didn’t seem to feel awkward at all.

"Miss Sterling, from the look on your face, do you really remember those trivial things from the past and refuse to be friends with me? I thought Miss Sterling was a generous person, but I didn’t expect those trivial things to be worth Miss Sterling’s pettiness."

As if Paige, as long as she didn’t become her friend, would be extremely unreasonable.

The attitude was a bit too expected.

"Miss Hale is right, I am indeed petty, and not only that, but I am not as naturally friendly as Miss Hale, so we probably can’t be friends. Miss Hale loves making friends so much, why don’t you go find someone else, I won’t accompany you."

Helen Hale’s face slowly darkened, but Julian Hawthorne had no interest in bantering with Helen Hale, and said to Paige Sterling, "Let’s go, we can continue shooting."

Paige nodded, neither of them had any intention of paying further attention to Helen Hale.

Helen Hale wasn’t embarrassed, but Harrison Sheridan felt awkward.

He pulled Helen Hale, his face unpleasant as he said, "Enough, let’s go, stop making a fool of yourself here."

What does it mean to make a fool of yourself?

She was just trying to seek justice from Paige Sterling; this was something Paige owed her. Whatever she did to Paige, Paige should bear it. What right did Paige have to rebut her?

So Helen Hale didn’t leave, and even raised her voice.

"Miss Sterling, you can say such heartless words to me, are you worthy of my brother? My brother loved you so much and even died for you. If he knew underground how you treated me, he would definitely regret falling in love with a woman like you!"

Paige scoffed, turning to look at Helen Hale.

No matter whether Henry Hale had feelings for her or not, just because of Henry Hale’s extreme and selfish behavior, it was impossible for her to feel gratitude.

And now, Helen Hale’s words were laughable.

As long as a man claims to love a woman, no matter what he does to her, should the woman just bear it? Not only bear it, but even have to fight back at the man? Based on what? The so-called love?

Even if Henry Hale loved her, that was his own matter; what did it have to do with her, Paige? Why should she be responsible?

And why did Helen Hale think she could use this to threaten her?

"Miss Hale, did you grow up only in age and not in IQ?"

Helen Hale looked at Paige with a gloomy face, "What, did I hit a sore spot for you, Miss Sterling?"

"Should I also kidnap Miss Hale, poison her, torment her, and then tell her I did all this because I love you? Will Miss Hale then not bear any grudge against me, will you be grateful to tears? After all, all the harm I’ve done was because I loved you."

Helen Hale was instantly at a loss for words, unable to respond.

Paige sneered, "Looks like Miss Hale can’t do it either, it’s just easier said than done."

Helen Hale gritted her teeth, "No matter what my brother has done to you, his love for you was real. And it was initially your fault to the Hale Family, what was wrong with how my brother treated you then? If you had any conscience, you shouldn’t hold a grudge against him for it..."

Paige: "Then let’s just say I have no conscience."

Helen Hale accused, "Paige, you’re really too heartless. I truly feel sorry for those men who fell in love with you and were toyed by you."

After speaking, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally landed on Julian Hawthorne, carrying a hint of sympathy.

Julian Hawthorne: "...", I willingly, thank you.

After finishing her accusation, Helen Hale continued to speak to herself, "Even though Miss Sterling you are so selfish and heartless, for the sake of my brother, I am willing to forgive you, and let’s forget about the past. I hope, from now on, Miss Sterling won’t target me anymore, and that we could shake hands and become each other’s sincere friend."

Helen Hale looked at Paige expectantly, conveying a message to Paige.

Even I, the victim, forgive you. What more do you want?

Paige really suspected that Helen Hale had a significant problem with her intelligence.

She kept ignoring the things she didn’t want to hear, living in her own world, and even thought others’ intentions and the world’s will turned on her command.

"I know Miss Sterling, you must have let it go, and are willing to be friends with me. Miss Sterling, to celebrate this historic moment, can we shoot a wedding photo together today? It would also show those who gossip about us being at odds that our relationship is great, and no one can drive a wedge between us."

In Helen Hale’s mind, she thought of first establishing a good relationship with Paige and using the opportunity to get closer to Julian Hawthorne.

Could Julian Hawthorne remain deeply affectionate towards Paige forever?

As long as she seizes such an opportunity, she will definitely be able to get Julian Hawthorne.

By then, her and Julian Hawthorne’s betrayal will be like a knife stabbing into Paige’s heart, which will be the best revenge on her.

She will make Paige watch as she and Julian Hawthorne are happy together for a lifetime.

And Paige will always remain a pitiful loner, never able to gain a man’s affection.

And shooting a wedding photo together is just the beginning.

The reason Paige looks so radiant is merely because of the beautiful wedding dress and jewels that complement her. If she had those too, she would be even more dazzling than Paige.

And since they are friends, would Paige have the audacity to hog all those wedding dresses to herself and not share them with her?

By then, she would make Paige watch as she wore the wedding dress Paige gifted her, capturing all the attention and leaving Paige as merely a background character.

Helen Hale even thought she could just treat it as a wedding photo shoot with Julian Hawthorne, entirely ignoring the presence of Harrison and Paige.

Now she even thought that a woman like Paige is only suited to be with a man like Harrison.

Helen Hale, immersed in her own world, fantasized unilaterally, completely ignoring whether others’ intelligence dropped to her level.

Watching Helen Hale’s overly excited expression, even Paige couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

She remained silent, waiting to see what more shameless words Helen Hale would come up with.

As expected, Helen Hale had already taken her delusions as reality, not caring what the actual situation was.

She directly turned to the photography team behind her and said, "Alright, you guys can go back now. I want to shoot the wedding photos with Paige, we don’t need you here."

In simple terms, even the team and wedding dress were expected to be Paige’s resources.

She spoke as if it was perfectly reasonable, even changing her address to Paige as if they were really close.

Even Harrison felt utterly embarrassed. He could tell that Julian Hawthorne’s photography team was well-known in the country, and all those wedding dresses and jewelry were high-end custom pieces. Now, neither Julian Hawthorne nor Paige had agreed. If they refused, wouldn’t that be utterly humiliating?

Although the Sheridan Family was not what it was before, he was still a young master of the family, and he couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

Yet Harrison couldn’t help but hope: what if Helen succeeded? Then he might be able to connect with the Hawthorne Family and save the Sheridan Family.

So Harrison didn’t leave for the moment.

And the photography team was quite dissatisfied; they had already arrived, yet before the shoot even began, Helen Hale told them to leave, and she hadn’t paid a single deposit. Wasn’t she just playing with them, wasting their time?
