Chapter 826 Stop Lying To Me

Name:The Substitute Bride Author:Mi Lu
Heron looked at Helin with an icy stare. "Since your mother left, I've been responsible for your life. I will spare no effort to intervene if you keep dating Roger. I don't need him in my company anymore. You'd better stay at home and get your head together. You're grounded."

"You're grounding me?" She looked at him incredulously. "You're really trying to ground me?"

"I didn't want it to come to this, but it's for your sake," he said more gently. Then he turned to the servant and demanded, "Sheena, take her to her room and keep watching. She's not allowed to leave without my permission, for any reason."

Helin started getting fidgety and anxious, realizing that Heron was dead serious. "Heron He, you bastard! You can't do this to me! I'm in love with Roger. I love him. I'll spend the rest of my life with him, no matter what. Once I have chances to get out, I would definitely elope with him."

Sheena pulled at Helin's arm and tried to calm her. "Miss He, please don't say that. What master did is for your sake."

"No. He did it to save himself, for his stupid image." Helin shook her head in disapproval as she walked. "He just won't allow his daughter to marry someone who doesn't meet his stupid status standards. That's why he's doing this to me. I'm not marrying anyone else, Heron He. Just give up."

Sheena took her upstairs, and all the while, Heron could hear Helin throwing a fit in the room, throwing things against the wall and groaning in frustration. It made him feel a bit dizzy.

When it finally calmed down and there were no longer any angry sounds coming from the room, Sheena came downstairs.

She saw Heron sitting on the sofa staring at nothing in particular. "Mr. He, are you hungry? Would you like me to prepare some midnight snacks for you?"

"No, I'm good." He put out the cigarette in his hand and asked her instead, "How is she?"

"She's exhausted. It's time for a little peace and quiet tonight." She smiled at him. "Mr. He, since you strongly oppose the relationship between Helin and Roger, he must not be good enough for her."

Sheena had been serving the He famil

t nodded. Although Roger's words seemed like wishful thinking, he believed Roger wouldn't say it if he wasn't absolutely sure.

After working with him for so long, he knew that Roger was someone who would truly do anything to get what he wanted. Maybe it was't just a dream, and Roger did have everything he needed.

When he got the ticket, Roger dialed Helin's number.

She had done all she could against her father. No matter how much she cried or yelled, no one paid her any mind. She had to go quiet for a while.

She did not know what else way she could use to deal with her father. Just as she was at a loss while lying on the bed, she received a call form Roger. Her face flashed with surprise and she answered the phone hurriedly

"Helin, are you okay?" Helin couldn't see Roger's expression over the phone, but she could hear the worry in his voice clearly

A hint of sweetness floated in her heart. She worked so hard that she didn't want Roger to worry. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry. I'm doing fine."

Helin paused for a moment and said to Roger, "Don't worry about me. I've made a deal with my father. He won't interfere the relationship between us."

"Really?" Roger forced a smile and said, "Helin, stop lying to me."

Helin's heart skipped a beat. She still didn't want to tell Roger the truth. She smiled and said, "It's true. How could I possibly lie to you?"
