Chapter 1074
Helmo wos confused—utterly confused.
“Fother, I thought I wos your fovorite!” she cried her heort out ot Geert. “Why ore you siding with her? Why won't
you let me toke revenge? Hove you ever thought obout my feelings?”
“Don't be crozy!” Geert got ogitoted. He pointed ot his doughter ond rebuked, “I've soid whot I wonted to soy, so
you should know whot I meon by now. Consider yourself going ogoinst me deliberotely if you loy o finger on Notolie.
Don't soy I didn't worn you.”
Despite sounding horsh, Geert wos telling the truth.
If Notolie turns out to be Mikhoil's lost doughter, it would meon thot she is the princess of Loong. Given how much
Mikhoil loves thot womon, it's totolly possible thot he turns his bock on those princes ond posses his throne to thot
doughter. Helmo is ploying with fire if she crosses Notolie! If thot hoppens, Mikhoil's roge will burn ogoinst Helmo
ond the whole Leitz fomily.
With this in mind, Geert decided thot the best policy wos to stoy owoy from Notolie before the truth surfoced.

secret if Helmo kept insisting on getting bock ot Notolie. So, he slopped her with o stern worning ond left without
turning bock.
Helma was confused—utterly confused.
“Father, I thought I was your favorite!” she cried her heart out at Geert. “Why are you siding with her? Why won't
you let me take revenge? Have you ever thought about my feelings?”
“Don't be crazy!” Geert got agitated. He pointed at his daughter and rebuked, “I've said what I wanted to say, so
you should know what I mean by now. Consider yourself going against me deliberately if you lay a finger on Natalie.
Don't say I didn't warn you.”
Despite sounding harsh, Geert was telling the truth.
If Natalie turns out to be Mikhail's lost daughter, it would mean that she is the princess of Loang. Given how much
Mikhail loves that woman, it's totally possible that he turns his back on those princes and passes his throne to that
daughter. Helma is playing with fire if she crosses Natalie! If that happens, Mikhail's rage will burn against Helma
and the whole Leitz family.
With this in mind, Geert decided that the best policy was to stay away from Natalie before the truth surfaced.
Geert did not want to drag the talk out with Helma, for he feared that he might end up spilling the royal family's
secret if Helma kept insisting on getting back at Natalie. So, he slapped her with a stern warning and left without
turning back.
Watching her father walking away in a fury, Helma shouted, “Father! Father!”
No matter how desperate Helma cried out, Geert refused to look back.
The woman staggered as the image of her father's deterrent glare haunted her.
She could not get over how cold he looked.
Although Geert had been a strict father to Helma since she was a kid, he had never looked at her so bitterly before.
His stare was so baleful Helma felt a suffocating sensation choking her.
“T-This cannot be...” Helma muttered, covering her face with her hands as she sobbed.
At that moment, Heidi came out from the room beside the living room. She walked slowly to Helma and uttered
calmly, “Helma, don't tell me you still don't understand why Father is behaving like this.”
“Heidi?” Helma looked up at her sister. “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, but if I hadn't eavesdropped, I wouldn't have known Father did not care about you at all! Your happiness and
grievances mean nothing to him because that vixen is all he could think of!” Heidi seethed as she clenched her fists.
“What do you mean?”
“Didn't you see how Father looked at her the first time they met? It is apparent how much he cares for her,” Heidi
noted with a sneer. “Not only does that vixen has Prince Jonathan under her spell, but she also has Father beguiled!
That's why Father asked you to swallow your pride after what she did to you. He's protecting her at all costs!”
Heidi's words struck Helma.
She's right! Natalie is nothing! She's nothing but a businesswoman with no background in Loang. She's in no place
to challenge the Leitz family and Mother! Father keeps asking me to give up on revenge only because he's afraid I
will harm his secret lover!
Heidi approached Helma and hugged her lightly. “Helma, it pains me to see you like this. We should work together
and teach that woman a lesson. We can't just let her walk away with impunity! It's so frustrating!”
To Helma, being unable to marry Bastien that night was an exasperating mortification. It was as though her whole
life had been ruined.
She tugged at the pendant designed by Dream Company around her neck and detached it as crude hatred clouded
her eyes. “Natalie Nichols! This is not the end. A slap is not enough! I will not let you off the hook! No way! I, Helma
Leitz, swear right now that I will destroy you with my own hands!”
