Chapter 859 Hellen's Regret
Hellen realized that for the past decade, she had fallen into Ronnie's trap of love, and things were not as simple as they seemed.
Now that the Peterson Group was in trouble, the family was falling apart before it even had a chance to come together, which was not what Hellen wanted to see.
The reason she had teamed up with Ronnie to bring down Bob in the first place was to have a better life and win his love.
She hadn't even enjoyed two months of being the First Lady of the Peterson Group, and now she was about to lose that title?
Hellen would never allow herself to fall into despair. And as for the fallen Bob, it was clear that Lawrence was helping to revive the Rodriguez Group!
Hellen couldn't stand the disparity and didn't know how Bob would look down on her.
She knew very well that she had to rely on Ronnie for Mars now. She also knew Ronnie too well; he was calculating and manipulative, unlike the impulsive Mars.
"Mars, since you know about who your father is, go ahead and call him 'dad,' then leave. Your father and I have things to discuss."
"Mom." Mars was clearly displeased with Hellen's submissive attitude.
"Are you not going to listen to your mother?" Hellen gave him a meaningful look.
Mars clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes, but he lowered his gaze and said, "Dad."
Ronnie was pleased, walking over to pat him on the shoulder, "Learn to be more composed like your mother. She's a gentle yet formidable woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have helped me so much back then."
Mars didn't agree with this statement and felt like scoffing instead.
To him, Ronnie was just a man who had deceived Hellen in the name of love for thirty years and used her to rise to power.
But he had to admit, Ronnie had his methods.
Mars knew that if he wanted to take over the Peterson Group, he had to be wary of Ronnie.
The Peterson Group was facing a significant crisis, and Mars knew he didn't have the ability to solve it. It was better to let Ronnie handle it for now.
In the future, he would seize power.
"You are right. My mom has endured humiliation for thirty years for this family and for you. I hope you remember her love for you." Mars said as he walked out, his words carrying a hidden meaning that Ronnie couldn't miss.
Ronnie concealed his emotions and looked at Hellen with deep affection, "Of course, I understand. My love for your mother hasn't changed in thirty years."
"It better not."
Mars left, closing the door behind him.
Hellen felt Ronnie's warm and affectionate touch on her wrist, and her voice softened as she leaned into him, "Ronnie, why do you and Mars have to be at odds? Mars never enjoyed your fatherly love growing up; he's immature and does many things just to get your attention."
She continued, "The Peterson Group is in trouble these days, and both of you are anxious, I know. But he lacks experience. Why don't you tell me the real situation of the Peterson Group? Maybe I can help. We're about to have our wedding soon. I'm your wife, and I share the same hopes as you."
Hellen's words made Ronnie feel very comfortable.
Hellen wanted Ronnie to know that she was better than the mistresses he kept outside.
Ronnie wrapped his arm around her slender waist, sat down on a chair, and slowly caressed her, kissing her lips with satisfaction, "Hellen, I'm content with your words. You will always be my one and only. We've been in love since we were teenagers. Don't you believe in my love for you? The situation at the Peterson Group is indeed very bad; otherwise, I wouldn't be so upset and take it out on Mars."
"Is it worse than what you discussed earlier?" Hellen's face changed.
She didn't want the Peterson Group, which had risen with great difficulty, to be brought down so quickly by the Rodriguez Group.
Ronnie understood her thoughts.
He had spent over thirty years with sweet words to keep Hellen steady. Without Hellen by Bob's side, he wouldn't have his current status.
He knew Hellen wanted both love and wealth.
That was why she chose him over the indifferent Bob.
She was used to being the First Lady of Veridiania, whether as Mrs. Rodriguez or Mrs. Peterson. Her goal was to be the most prestigious First Lady of Veridiania.
As long as Hellen fell from this position, she would never accept it.
So, Hellen could still be used!
Ronnie pretended to be distressed, "You don't know how ruthless Lawrence's methods are. He's a hundred times more vicious than Bob. He used the NexaCore Group to set up early and disguise it, catching us and Rock off guard. He's been calculating against us step by step."
"Now the biggest problem for the Peterson Group is that Adam has abandoned us. Our new product was also sabotaged by Lawrence, and the compensation from three arms dealers is enough to trouble the Peterson Group."
"The company's remaining liquid funds are almost gone. In this situation, without core technology, we will soon fall back to the bottom of Veridiania's enterprises! We can forget about being the top family, and we might even face bankruptcy."
"How could this happen?" Hellen's face turned pale.
The days of wealth and love she had hoped for were about to disappear so quickly?
No, she couldn't accept falling into despair and becoming like Bob.
Ronnie said, "Lawrence set up a series of traps for me. He knows that one aerospace technology is enough to make us retreat step by step. With breaches of contract and losing cooperation with those top families, the Peterson Group will soon be isolated, and the outcome will be no better than Rock's!"
"So what should we do now?" Hellen didn't understand business.
Ronnie glanced at her secretly, his expression anxious, "What the Peterson Group lacks is good technology and good products! But we produce substandard products, and they failed in the market."
"That's why I'm thinking, if we can get the Rodriguez Group's products at this time, we won't have to pay the two billion dollars to the arms dealers."
"Our reputation in Trento City can also be stabilized. With products to speak for us, we won't have to worry about companies not buying our orders. This way, the Peterson Group can get through this crisis." Ronnie coaxed.
Hellen seemed to understand but was also slightly apprehensive. She suddenly looked at Ronnie, "You want the Rodriguez Group's products?"
Ronnie took her hand and said directly, "Hellen, Bob has Lawrence's help, and now the Rodriguez Group is rising again! You and Bob were married for thirty years. When you divorced, it was because he didn't love you; it was his fault."
"I love you, and I can't bear to see you suffer, but can you go to him for me this time? Use his soft spot for you to persuade him to give you some of the Rodriguez Group's products. I believe you are so gentle; you will find a way to persuade him."
Hellen felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head!
She looked at Ronnie, her body trembling with anger. The man she loved, for whom she had betrayed Bob without hesitation, what kind of man was he? How disgusting was he?
