Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 122: Merlin will help? Yes!

Chapter 122: Merlin will help? Yes!

If it was any other day, Vernon would have told Helena that his sister-in-law was indeed strong enough to take on a huge gang.

But because of the experience from his previous life, he did not dare to say that with confidence.

He knew that Jemma was drugged before she was kidnapped. If she was awake, she would be able to fight the Prince’s men with ease in his last life.

They did not even know that the Seventh Prince would do such a thing. So, they weren’t prepared to face an enemy. But now, it is different. They can’t sneak up on Jemma and drug her like last time and they also know who the enemy was. So they are prepared mentally.

Jemma should be able to handle this matter easily.

But Vernon did not dare to say that. He doesn’t want any mishap to occur in this plan. One small mistake and it would cost him his favorite sister-in-law.

He doesn’t want to take any risks.

He shook his head, "Sister-in-law, please calm down, okay? I know you are strong but I don’t think you have to risk your life and enter their den. Who knows what sorts of cheap tricks they would resort to? You can fight but that was if the opponent had the idea of fighting head to head as well. But it is clear that they are as sneaky as a bunch of rats in the gutter. You should not let their stench disturb your nose."

Helena looked at him and chuckled while nodding. She very badly wanted to agree to him because she, too, doesn’t want Jemma to risk her life. But she couldn’t help but want to laugh at Vernon’s words.

[This silly man! Ha ha ha!]

Vernon looked at Helena and blinked his eyes. He was being serious and yet she was calling him silly?

Why?

Sadly, he couldn’t ask her and could only just pout and lower his head.

Vincent and Jemma chuckled silently as well but did not say anything.

They heard Helena’s phone ringing. She excused herself and took a few steps away from them to answer the call.

It was Merlin.

"Brother Merlin," Helena greeted him with a smile as soon as she answered the call.

"Helena. Where are you?" Merlin asked her with a calm voice.

"Me? I am at Brother Vincent’s house. Why? Do you need something, Brother Merlin?" Helena asked.

"I heard something happened there. Since you are there, you found it as well." Merlin’s voice was still calm as ever.

Helena blinked her eyes. She was surprised that Merlin found this news so soon.

It wasn’t even her news. It was her in-laws’ news and yet he found the news almost at the same time as her. Or he might have found the news before her as well.

"Umm, Yeah. I just found it as well." She spoke in a low voice.

"Do you need any help?" Merlin asked her.

Helena pursed her lips. She looked at everyone in the room once and asked him softly, "Do you have any details?"

"A little." His answer was short.

"How much is a little?" She asked.

"I have the address." He answered.

"Address?"

"Yes."

Helena blinked her eyes. She looked at Vernon. Vernon noticed that she was looking at him and raised his eyebrows asking who it was on the call.

She mouthed to him, ’Brother Merlin’.

She then talked on the phone, "Is it .....?" She recited the address Vernon had just told them all to confirm if he was right.

"Yes. Looks like you already know everything," Merlin said. She could almost hear the hint of a smile in his voice.

"It’s Vernon. We weren’t really sure. Since you confirmed, then he should be right." Helena explained her side of the story.

Merlin instantly understood what she meant. It was Vernon’s dream that gave them the details of the address.

"Oh? Is Vernon beside you?" Merlin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes. He is right beside me." Helena replied.

"Let me talk to him," Merlin asked her.

"Okay." Helena did not say anything and instantly agreed before looking for Vernon.

Vernon had been looking at her from time to time and he caught her gaze the moment she looked at him.

Helena beckoned him to come over and gave the phone to him.

Vernon took the phone and listened to a few words from Merlin, which Helena couldn’t hear.

"Yeah. One minute, Brother Merlin," Vernon excused himself from Merlin and looked at Helena.

Helena raised her eyebrows gesturing what had happened.

Vernon said, "Helena, we all are here anyway. We will take care of the matter. You just relax and do your thing."

Helena narrowed her eyes for a second. She thought of his words carefully.

Even if she was with them, there is nothing she could actually do to help them anyway. She understood that Vernon was also concerned for her safety. He doesn’t want her to get involved in these dangerous times.

Even though she wanted to stay with Jemma and support her, she realized that Jemma is actually stronger than she herself is. There is nothing she could do to ’support’ Jemma here.

She turned to look at Jemma.

Jemma and Vincent heard Vernon’s words as well. They agreed to his words and nodded to her. For them, Helena is like an innocent little girl, who should be treated as a princess. She is so cute that they don’t even want her to get involved in this matter at all.

Looking at them, Helena nodded her head, "Okay. Call me if you need anything from me."

Vernon nodded and gave her her phone back. He took Merlin’s phone number before bidding her farewell.

She did not know what Vernon and Merlin talked about later. She did not know what help Merlin extended to them to save Jemma’s sister.

She even tried to ask Merlin what they talked about. But just like Vernon, he too did not divulge any information.

They all decided to treat her as a child and keep her away from the matter and Helena respected their good wishes and went along with their wishes.

She went to her office just like any other day.

"Boss, Chairman called early in the morning and told you to call him as soon as you reached the office. Do you want to go now?" Helena’s assistant informed her before asking.

Helena paused for a second. She pursed her lips. She still wasn’t ready to look at her father like nothing had happened. So she firmly shook her head, "No need. If he asks you again, tell him that I am busy. If there is something urgent, tell him to mail me the details or tell you about it."

Her assistant was stunned. But she nodded nonetheless. She did not understand what happened between the President and the Chairman, but she could feel that the President was angry with her father at the moment. So she had to be careful when dealing with them both for a while.

Helena dismissed her assistant and started to look at her emails.

There was a knock on the door. Without raising her head, Helena casually said, "Come in."

Grace pushed the door open and entered with a smile as she greeted, "Helena."

For the last couple of times, Helena felt that Grace was being very weird compared to before. So, she no longer wanted to see her. She did not expect her to come to her office early in the morning and was stunned.

Despite feeling irritated at the thought of facing her at the moment, Helena knew better than to express her feelings on her face. She masked her feelings perfectly and gave her a smile that couldn’t be more professional and greeted her back, "Grace. I didn’t know you were coming here today. Why didn’t you call beforehand?"

"I didn’t know that you would come to office today. Only earlier did I find that you are here and wanted to see you. So, I came." Grace smiled sweetly and walked to the desk before sitting on a chair comfortably.

Helena raised an eyebrow at her words.

She had been at the office for no more than fifteen minutes and Grace already found that she was there? Before coming to the office, she herself wasn’t really sure if she was coming to the office or not.

So, no one else knew it before. So, how did Grace found about it?

There is only one way Helena could think of.

Someone in her office sent the information to Grace.

Who is it?

Fords’ office building is huge with many employees. Helena couldn’t keep an eye on each and every person working in the office.

But if Grace had someone whom she knew in her office, she should have told her already. As a ’good friend’ it is normal to ask friends to keep an eye out for their other friends.

But why did Grace hide the fact that her ’friends’ were working under her ’best friend’?

"Who told you?" Helena did not mince her words and asked her directly.

"What?" Grace did not expect this question or she did not hear it clearly but she asked in confusion.

"Who told you that I came to the office?" Helena asked again.

Grace’s smile froze for a second. She took a deep breath and asked back with a smile, "Why do you ask that? I shouldn’t know that you were here? Is that a huge secret?"

Helena frowned at her words.
