Just a tool
"Helen, you know, I raised you from a young age. Now it's time for you to repay me."
A man's voice echoed throughout the hall. Obviously under the warm yellow light, but Helen only felt that her heart now seemed to be aching and extremely cold.
She is the adopted daughter of the William family, and is an Omega with a developed gland. It seems that just by marrying her, any Alpha can make her give birth to an extremely powerful posterity. When she was young, she was only allowed to live in an orphanage, life there was really difficult. The William family adopted her back. She thought that her life would be like this for the rest of her life. But unexpectedly today, she suddenly realized that in the end, she was just a tool. The William family went downhill without stopping and she became a tool, a sacrifice for their cause.
Helen looked at her adoptive father then nodded and said: "Father, I understand."
Mr. William saw Helen like this and nodded with satisfaction. He raised Helen from childhood to adulthood, so he knows Helen's personality well. She was a little more cowardly and also very weak, so he wasn't worried that Helen would turn against him. Today's engagement talk with Helen is just a time to inform Helen, not give Helen a choice.
Helen seems to know this too. She looked towards her adoptive parents then nodded and said: "I'm feeling a bit tired, I want to go back to my room."
Mrs. William heard Helen say that, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, go back to your room. We will discuss with the Franks to set a date for the engagement of you and the youngest of the Franks."
When Helen heard that, everyone froze for a bit, but in the end, she just dropped her eyes and returned to her room. Going upstairs, she saw her older sister - Maya.
As soon as Maya saw Helen coming up, she immediately smiled. Her appearance seemed extremely gentle, but Helen, who had lived in this house for nearly 20 years, could be certain that Maya was never this gentle. She was always giving Helen a hard time, it's just that when she did, Helen's adoptive parents wouldn't be around. Or maybe they also know that Maya is messing with Helen but what's wrong with that? After all, Maya is their biological child, and Helen is just an adopted child from outside. Helen has always understood this principle, so she can only endure without being able to do anything. After all, she was just a child adopted from an orphanage. So she didn't dare to show any displeasure. But today it seems that her mood has changed, just because she is about to be married off for the sake of the family, Helen does not want to endure Maya like that anymore.
At first Helen was grateful to the William family for adopting her, but now she realizes their purpose in adopting her is just a tool. Helen seems to have felt extremely disappointed, if she was raised for a certain purpose, why should she still have to endure such resentments? So when Maya walked over to Helen's side then smirked and said: "How? About to be married into the Frank family? Are you feeling happy? Honestly, you feel like a bad duck. Even if you marry into the Frank family, you're already climbing high. It's so self-indulgent."
When Helen heard that, she couldn't help but think to herself, wasn't it her parents who chose me?
She nodded to Maya and then said: "If I'm not worthy, then you must be worthy to marry into the Frank family. I also feel that you are very suitable for the youngest son of the Frank family. How about I go talk to my parents? Say that Maya feels me climbing, so she wants to marry into the Frank family herself?"
Helen's words were filled with seriousness, Maya heard her face turn pale, she pointed her finger at Helen and then said: "You bastard, what the hell are you talking about?! Now it's full. You have enough wings, so you want to fight me right? You think you're going to get married, so you're getting rid of me? You're wrong."
Helen looked at Maya then said: "I feel like you're the one who should keep your mouth shut. Now what do you do I'll see, I might get sick or faint, until then it's time for the engagement ceremony. the marriage of me and the youngest son of the Franks could not be done. House William will also perish."
Maya heard Helen say that, really angry and stopped. She followed Helen's back, silently scolding in her heart. It's amazing that this little girl who pretends to be cowardly all day can still bite back like that. See how long she can stay like this, eventually she'll be married off.
Helen returned to her room then closed the door. She sat on the bed, her hands covering her eyes. She really feels worried for her future. Although the Frank family is a big family, the youngest son of the Frank family is famous for being a p********e, not knowing how to take care of his career, moreover, it is said that he likes to torture his mistress. I don't know how many lovers he tortured to death in bed. Helen seems to be able to see her dark future. Suddenly I feel extremely regretful. If she had known in advance that the William family had adopted her for such a purpose, she would have rather stayed in the orphanage. Experiencing an extremely calm life without too much turbulence, that is even more wonderful than now.
Nor was it arbitrary that Helen thought so. Because since she was adopted into the William family, Helen has not been treated like a lady. She lived in the William family like one of them. All day she has to serve Maya, her room is not decorated like a lady's room, no one from the outside can see that Helen is the lady of the William family. But deliberately every time I go out to attend a certain event. Helen's adoptive mother will decorate her very beautifully, so the others do not doubt but only praise the William family's extreme goodwill. Moreover, Mrs. William was always in her ear reminding her to be filial...
Helen leaned back on the bed, she didn't want to think about anything anymore.
Early the next morning, Helen was awakened by a knock on her bedroom door. She opened her eyes then stood up and opened the door. Outside the door was her adoptive mother, Mrs. William.
Mrs. William looked at Helen then smiled and said: "Helen, prepare a little, today the prince has just returned from a trip, so the royal family will have a party to welcome him. You will go with us to the party. "
Helen heard Mrs. William say that and immediately nodded. She averted her eyes from Mrs. William's face, for at a glance she could see her fake smile, there was no love in her eyes, but every word she said it, sounding very affectionate. Obviously they are all liars. Helen didn't understand why she didn't see the real faces of these people until today.
She nodded and said: "I understand, ma'am." Then she wanted to close the door. However, at this moment Mrs. William suddenly said: "You should understand the purpose for which we brought you to this party. Because at this party the youngest son of the Frank family will also be coming. It's best to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with him."
Hearing that, Helen seemed to wake up. Just now she was wondering why Mrs. William would let her go to such noble and luxurious parties. Because normally Helen was only allowed to go to seemingly insignificant places, she had never been to parties like welcoming the crown prince. Mrs. William and Mr. William have always limited her existence. Today, they let her enter the palace because she had a chance to establish a relationship with her future fiance.
Helen looked over at Mrs. William, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She nodded and then said: "I understand, ma'am." Then she immediately closed the door and entered the room.
Helen looked at her bed. Sometimes she really wished she was an Alpha, that way she wouldn't be arranged as a pawn like this. Helen lay on the bed, motionless.
In the afternoon, Mrs. William sent someone up to call Helen downstairs, she said she wanted to take Helen to choose a very splendid dress. Helen knew all of William's preparations now were to pave the way for her to the youngest son of the Frank family. It was ridiculous that she didn't even know his name. The two of them probably haven't even met yet, it's all decided by the two families, their future seems to be in their parents' mouths, not in their own hands. This made Helen really uncomfortable, she hoped that the youngest son of the Frank family could strongly oppose this marriage. That way she didn't have to go to him anymore. Helen thought to herself.
She changed her clothes, combed her hair then stared at herself in the mirror. There is no denying that Helen is indeed very beautiful. She was like the root of all sin and infatuation. She is the representative of love, the poison that makes people bogged down in passionate love affairs. She is really beautiful. This is also the reason that Maya has always been difficult for Helen since Helen entered this house.
Helen suddenly felt that being beautiful was also a sin.
She shook her head a little then got up and opened the door to her room and went downstairs. Downstairs was not only Mrs. William but also Maya. The two of them stood there, seemingly waiting for her.
Maya saw Helen coming down and immediately shouted: "Why are you so slow? How dare you let me and mom wait for you?"
When Mrs. William heard that, she frowned a little, but did not teach Maya. Obviously compared to Maya, Helen is nothing. Helen also knew this, so she didn't show it either. She just nodded and said: "I'm just a little tired, ma'am."
Mrs. William heard this and immediately asked Helen: "Are you tired?"
She didn't want Helen's expression to affect the party tonight. This is Helen's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Helen can temporarily establish a relationship with the youngest son of the Frank family, so their marriage will go more smoothly. Anyway, now Mr. William is still discussing with the heads of the Frank family, they cannot be sure that this marriage can be successful. If the youngest son of the Frank family refused this marriage, their plan would not be successful. So if Helen could make the youngest son of the Frank family fall in love with her, then everything would be much simpler.
Helen seems to understand this too. She frowned a bit, but still nodded and said: "No big deal, let's go."
Mrs. William heard Helen say that, nodded, then took Maya's hand and went out. Helen walked behind them, she seemed lost in the midst of their friendship.
Helen really doesn't understand, if they don't want to adopt, why adopt her? If sooner or later he would throw her away, why did he pick her up right away? You gave her love and now you've broken it yourself.
Helen really couldn't understand.
However, Helen knew that from this day on, she would no longer consider Maya as her sister, nor Mr. William and Mrs. William as her parents. She was sent to the Frank family in exchange for the benefit of the William family. This will be her tribute to the upbringing of the William family. Then she would have nothing to do with the William family. Helen thought to herself.
They got in the car and then went to a huge shopping mall. Normally, families like the William family rarely go to shopping malls like this to buy clothes. They felt that would be extremely devalued. Their dresses were all custom-made, but Helen did not have a dress that was gorgeous enough, so to handle this urgent case, Mrs. William directly took Helen to the mall to shop. That made the car much faster. Helen also understood this, she did not show any signs and followed behind Mrs. William. Suddenly Helen felt that as soon as Mr. William and Mrs. William abandoned her, her mind seemed to clear a lot. She can calmly consider everything, and calmly face everything. Now she is no longer afraid of Maya, she seems to have changed overnight. Perhaps what held her back before was only the love of Mr. William and Mrs. William. Now that that kind of love no longer existed, then she didn't have to give in to anyone. She may have no wealth and nothing, but she absolutely won't let others harm her for no reason.
And Maya, who was behind, tilted her head to look at Helen, her eyes filled with mockery. Of course she felt that Helen's need to go to the mall to buy a dress was a matter of great ridicule. She looked at Helen then said: "Helen, I'm so sorry. We had planned this party early but suddenly forgot about you. Now realize you need to take a chance to talk to the youngest son of the Frank family, so this method can only be used to buy a suit for you. You will sympathize with us, right?"
Helen heard Maya say that, and immediately raised her eyes, she looked at Maya with cold eyes and said: "Then I didn't expect your mother and your memory to be really bad. Think for sure if you don't want to. If you marry me to the Frank family, people probably won't even remember that I even exist."
Mrs. William heard Helen say that and immediately frowned. She turned her head to look at Helen then said: "Helen you must know this is how you repay us. We raised you, now you have to repay us too, right?"
When Helen heard Mrs. William say that, she seemed to want to immediately say that if she could know the future like this, she would definitely never let the William family adopt her. But now, what else is there to say?
Helen just looked faintly at Mrs. William and then said: "Actually, there are countless ways for me to repay you. I can grow up, I can do many things, I can also be a buffalo and a horse for William's family. But you chose to distort my destiny. This is what I am deeply disappointed in."
Pausing for a moment, Helen shook her head and said: "Okay, no need to say more. Aren't we going to buy a suit, I think this one is pretty good."
Mrs. William, seeing Helen like this, did not say anything more. She did not have too much affection for this adopted daughter. She only pretended to advise like that, Helen did whatever she wanted. And Helen also didn't want to talk to Mrs. William anymore, so she avoided the conversation like that. Since they decided to marry her to the Franks, she had nothing more to say to them.
