Back when she was younger, she went through hell and high water just to marry into the Blake family. Thought she'd finally made it, could relax a bit—but nope. Turned out she couldn't even have kids.
No son, no daughter, and her relationship with the two kids from Charles's ex-wife was... meh at best. So naturally she looked for some backup. Tried sneaking her niece into the Blake household, thinking it might work out. But not only did that plan go sideways, someone even got hurt in the mess.
No way was she going to just let that slide. And just when she heard Vera was back, she casually let it "slip" that Julian was bringing his new wife home.
Helen thought she'd covered all bases—what she didn't see coming was Anna being so unpredictable. And Julian? Straight up walked away.
