Chapter 54 The One He Favors Philip had wanted to bring Helen into Prometheus Institute as its director for years. Finished Helen checked the time and shook her head. "I have to go home. I'm giving my grandpa his needling therapy first thing tomorrow." To help Felix endure the pain, she had prepared two days of medicinal baths so his legs could relax. Tomorrow is the actual treatment. And besides, if she didn't go home, her family would wait up all night. "Alright, alright. Our Helen finally has a family who cares for her." Philip's strict expression softened into something warm.

He didn't even use the formal "Ms. Walcott" anymore. He sighed. "Ever since you went back to the Morgans four years ago, I haven't seen you smile once. Now I can tell you're doing well with your real family. That puts me at ease." Helen's lashes lowered slightly, and she gave a soft "mm." The two walked out of the final security checkpoint side by side. "Professor Langford!" Wendy, who had been hiding in the dark corner waiting, jumped to her feet. She forced a stiff smile onto her face. Her eyes flicked between Helen and Philip before locking onto Helen. "Helen." Philip frowned.

"Why are you still here? I told you to make an appointment through the university if you need anything." "I'm sorry, Professor Langford," Wendy tightened her fingers, clearly sensing his impatience. She had originally come today hoping Philip would officially accept her as his student. But now it was obvious he was annoyed with her, Wendy swallowed down her panic and put on a gentle smile. She glanced at Helen. "It's so late already.

I didn't feel safe letting Helen go home alone, so I stayed to wait for her." Then she put on her sister act, bowed politely, and said, "Professor Langford, I'm sorry. Helen doesn't understand the rules. Sorry she bothered you this late." 1/3 12:51 Mon, Apr 13 Chapter 54 The One He Favors 0: VPN 80 Finished To fix her image in Philip's eyes, Wendy had no choice but to pretend she and Helen were close. After all, Philip's attitude toward Helen was anything but ordinary. As expected, Philip's frown eased. He turned to Helen. "Your sister?" Helen didn't even look up.

"Not really." "Oh." That was all Philip needed to know. Helen didn't mbat the pagant any association with Wendy. His expression cooled again as he glanced at Wendy. Wendy felt her stomach drop. She glared at Helen with resentment. She had already lowered herself to call Helen her sister-this country bumpkin-and Helen still dared to deny her? She was ruining her reputation on purpose. Trying to block her from joining the institute. How jealous could one person be? She honestly couldn't understand why Philip treated Helen so differently.
