Chapter 199 Designed by the Powerful One
"and after?"
Someone asked this question.
The old woman sitting on the bed seemed to be recalling something, her brows furrowed and she looked very painful.
later......
Helena lived with the family's servants. Although she did not have to work, her status was slightly higher than that of the servants.
But these are of no use. For Helena, working or not working doesn't affect her at all.
The man in power would often visit Helena there and bring her many things she liked.
But Helena lost all mood whenever she thought about the man who had deceived her before.
Perhaps the man had loved her, and even the man himself said that Helena was beautiful and gave people hope.
After that, the ruler found a teacher for Helena to teach her how to design a ship and how to build it.
She was undoubtedly talented. In just two years, she had produced one exquisite drawing after another.
The ships built from these drawings were all the rage at the time.
Many people even wanted to know who the designer behind the scenes was and wanted to make friends with him.
But Helena always stayed in that small courtyard and never left.
This situation continued until four years later, when a stranger broke into the courtyard.
A six-year-old boy, wearing aristocratic clothes, with a childish face.
But Helena could recognize it at a glance. It was the child of the person in power. They looked so similar that there was almost no difference between them.
She called the child to her and asked if his father was the one in power.
The child told her yes.
She thought that if her child were still alive, he or she might be this old too.
The noble lady who came hurriedly picked up the child, warned him not to come here again, and then left.
Helena looked at their backs and felt as if she were in another world.
After that, Helena began to think about going out, and she often went out shopping with the servants to get to know the changing world.
Meanwhile, her ships were becoming better and better in design.
The cruise ship that she had once wanted to build was also handed over to the person in power after she modified the drawings.
She used the money she had saved to buy herself the night-shining pearl in the open market.
That is, the one she asked Brief to find for her now.
"Is there any story behind this Night Pearl?"
"No, there's no story, I just like it."
In fact, the power of those in power at that time had already begun to be dispersed slowly.
But he was not convinced and wanted to continue as before, even forcing the noble lady's family to help him consolidate his rights.
After the heartbroken lady left with the boy, the man in power began to torture other people in the residence like a madman.
Helena no longer had a home, and she didn't know where else to go except here.
Perhaps it was her comfort and success that made the person in power rebellious. As long as Helena did something that made him happy, he would have people sabotage it.
In the end, even the new design draft drawn by Helena would be torn to pieces without mercy.
Everyone said that the man was crazy, even Helena thought so.
Later, one night, the man slipped and fell into the sea.
Without the person in power, the Wilfors family seemed particularly chaotic, and everyone could only invite the lady and the boy back.
After all, boys are the children of those in power and are entitled to inherit everything.
The lady had come to visit Helena and asked her if she was sad.
In fact, Helena felt extremely relieved.
The boy hired Helena as the family's private designer, and from then on, all her designs belonged only to the Wilfors family.
“Did you also design this cruise ship?”
Gu Chaoxi looked up. She was actually a little curious about this question.
"no."
Helena shook her head, looking lonely.
"This cruise ship was designed by him during his lifetime, and his wife wanted to build it, so we have the current cruise ship."
"So you're not familiar with this cruise ship either?"
Helena nodded: "It's my first time on a ship too."
No wonder, it was probably not designed by her. After all, such a layout is very strange.
But why did the person in power design such a cruise ship during his lifetime?
In other words, was this cruise ship really designed by those in power?
After all, in Helena's opinion, it was a noble lady who decided to build this cruise ship.
The few of them said goodbye to Helena and returned to the deck again.
Most people seemed to be gathered around the edge, probably because the fishing activity had begun.
Gu Chaoxi was not very interested in this activity. He found an empty seat and sat down.
The blue sky seemed to be filled with sunlight, but she still couldn't see the sun.
Not long after I sat down, I saw Vegillette walking towards me with a glass of juice in his hand.
"Miss Ashley, don't you want to go over and take a look?"
"Thank you, but I want to rest for a while. Maybe I'll go over and take a look after a while."
"Okay, then I won't bother you."
After handing the juice to Gu Chaoxi, Vegillette left.
What is her point of opening up? She has to say a few words to him every time.
Sighing, Gu Chaoxi put the juice on the small table in front of him.
"It's a little strange."
"Yeah, indeed."
Pei Yan looked up when he heard the voice, and the two looked at each other, speechless.
But Zhou Youyou, who was standing aside, had no idea what the two of them were talking about and was looking around.
"What's so strange? Are there other monsters here?"
Shen Lan tugged at her sleeve and said in a small voice: "No."
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Youyou also shut up.
Gu Chaoxi lowered his head and thought, somewhat confused.
Logically speaking, there was no need to hide anything in Helena's story. They all helped her get the night pearl back.
It’s like in a game, helping the game characters achieve their goals can also unlock the story.
Could it be that, from Helena’s perspective, there is a vacancy?
"Is there a possibility that Wilforth is actually her child?"
Gu Chaoxi raised his head and looked at Pei Yan, as if asking for his opinion.
Pei Yan just raised his eyes and did not answer.
In fact, in Helena's story, the issue about children is rather vague.
She only remembered that when she woke up, the doctor told her that the baby had not been saved, so she did not investigate further.
Then there was the little boy of six, who looked very much like his father, but whom the lady would not allow to get near Helena.
In Helena's own mind, if the child were still alive, he would be this big.
However, she had the impression that there was no mention of when the lady became pregnant.
"Didn't the person in power say that he wanted to take Helena's child away and give it to the noble lady to raise? That way it would be legitimate."
Qin Wei nodded and shook his head: "This is just a guess. No matter how likely it is, we have no evidence unless someone here admits it."
