Chapter: 3423

She continued, unable to help but ask: "Mom, can I go back and see her before she passes away? The engagement party will definitely be delayed, and I'm still here without any significance. If I wait until after she's gone and then go back, it'll be too late."

After saying goodbye to her mother, Helena immediately called her cousin, who was about to be crowned as the new queen, Olivia.

The phone rang for a long time, and it seemed like there was no one answering on the other end. Just when Helena was about to hang up and try again later, someone finally picked up.

On the other end of the line, a woman's voice with a hint of laughter said: "Helena, how have you been in the Middle Kingdom lately? My sister."

Helena hastened to say: "Olivia, I heard that my grandmother is critically ill?"

The person on the other end laughed and said: "Yes, sister. She has multi-organ failure. The doctor has told us to prepare ourselves for her passing at any moment."

Helena felt that Olivia's light laughter was a bit jarring, but she didn't have time to dwell on it, so she urgently asked her: "Olivia, if my grandmother's condition is this bad, then she might not make it until my engagement day... "

On the other end of the line, there was a momentary silence before Olivia spoke in a cold tone: "If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to get married on the 7th, right?"

Helena replied immediately: "Yes. And there are still three days left! I'm worried that my grandmother won't make it through these three days. If that's the case, I won't be able to see her one last time."

Olivia laughed coldly: "Helena, your grandmother is currently in a coma and will not wake up again. Even if you go back, she won't recognize you. I think you shouldn't bother going through all this trouble! No matter whether she lives or dies within the next three days, your engagement with the Ye family will still proceed as planned, without any changes allowed!"

"Helen's eyes widened in shock as she didn't think her sister-in-law would be so ruthless. She subconsciously blurted out: "If my grandmother really passes away before I get married, how can we still hold the wedding ceremony on schedule? If she passes away and I'm here holding a wedding reception, it will definitely be spread abroad, and not only will they condemn me, but also the entire royal family!"

On the other end of the line, Olivia spoke in a cold tone: "Don't worry, I'll make sure she holds on for three days. Even if she really passes away within these three days, I won't leak the news until after your wedding. After all, her life or death is not important right now!"

Helen was furious and shouted: "How can you be so cruel?! You treat my grandmother like a tool under your control?!"

Olivia's voice turned menacing: "Helen! Remember this! Right now, her life or death means nothing! What matters most is the marriage between you and Ye family! The Ye family has already agreed to invest 30 billion euros with the royal family after our wedding in Europe, developing tourism real estate. If you dare to create any unexpected events, don't blame me for not being nice to your mother!"

Helen was fuming with anger and yelled: "Olivia! I've always treated you as my sister-in-law, and my mom has always regarded you as a daughter. Your current face is too overbearing!!"

Olivia coldly laughed: "Helen, Olivia isn't someone you should be calling! Remember, you should address me as Her Majesty the Queen!"

As she spoke, Olivia threatened again: "Helen! I know you're not in good health, but remember my words! You'd better live for a few more years to ensure that the royal family and Ye family's cooperation can take root. Absolutely do not let this matter create any unexpected events! If not, I'll definitely kick your mom out of the palace and make her beg on the streets!"

"Are you daring? Helen's whole body was filled with anger, gritting her teeth and shouting: 'If you dare to harm my mom, I'll kill you!'"

Olivia laughed coldly: "Helen, you'd better understand the current situation. After grandma passes away, I will immediately ascend to become the new queen. What gives you the right to kill me? Is it just because of your congenital heart disease? I advise you to be cautious!"

As she said this, Olivia smiled condescendingly and said: "Helen, don't say I won't give you a chance. As long as you complete the union with the Ye family, then try to find ways to live for a few more years, be good and stay in the Qing dynasty, I guarantee your mom's life safety; otherwise, don't blame me for not considering family relationships!"

Helen only felt her whole body shivering with fear. Originally, she thought that the royal family could threaten herself through her mother's future care and livelihood.

But she now realized that in Olivia's place, this bottom line had been pulled even lower, to the point where she was even starting to use her mother's life as a threat against herself.

In this instant, she felt Olivia on the phone suddenly become incredibly unfamiliar.

She couldn't help but wonder why this sister-in-law she had known for 23 years had turned out to be so sinister.

But in her heart, she was very clear: if she insisted on opposing Olivia, her mother's life safety would probably be genuinely threatened, because Olivia now controlled the entire royal family and was about to ascend to become queen, while her mother was just a widow struggling to survive within the palace walls, how could she possibly be Olivia's equal.
