Chapter 1694: Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad

Twenty minutes later, the Concorde aircraft roared into the night sky of Yanjing and flew toward Northern Europe at extreme speed.

Lying in front of Ye Chen and Helena was an eight-thousand-kilometer-long flight path. 【

A regular passenger plane would take at least nine hours to fly there, but a Concorde can reach the Nordic capital, Osu City, in just four hours.

Meanwhile, on a short-video app in Northern Europe, a video quickly went viral.

The woman in the video is Helena Iliad, known as the most beautiful woman in Northern Europe.

Although Helena was stripped of her right to the throne, she remains the most popular and beloved member of the royal family among the Nordic people.

Therefore, she has over eight million followers on the short-video app.

The Nordic country only has a population of a little over six million, and at least half of them are Helena's fans.

In the past, Helena's short-video account frequently updated with small clips of her daily life, and many of the people who loved her used these videos to keep up with her life.

However, ever since news broke that Helena was heading to China to prepare for an arranged marriage with a Chinese family, her short-video account stopped updating.

After several days, she suddenly updated a video. In the video, she is sitting in a car, saying with an excited face: "Friends! I am super excited right now! Because I am about to board a Concorde and rush back to Northern Europe to attend my sister Princess Olivia's wedding! This time, I am not just attending her wedding; I will also serve as her bridesmaid and witness her walking down the aisle with my own eyes! Oh my god, I am really so excited! So excited that I almost cried several times! Please join me in wishing her a happy marriage in advance!"

Hearing that Princess Helena was returning to the country, the Nordic citizens were naturally very happy, and they all left comments under her video: "Princess Helena, welcome home!"

Besides that, many people also wished Olivia a happy marriage in the comments, and the comment section was filled with warmth and harmony.

At this moment, it was noon local time in Northern Europe.

Olivia, who was having lunch with her parents, suddenly received this video from Helena. After watching it, she was so furious that she slammed her plate onto the floor and said coldly: "This Helena is really asking for death! I have already clearly told her that she is not allowed to return to Northern Europe for the rest of her life. I didn't expect her to dare to come back! And to come back with such a big fanfare! By posting this video, she is openly provoking me! Does she think that just because she posted this video, I wouldn't dare to do anything to her? Then she is really underestimating me, Olivia!"

After saying that, she immediately picked up her phone and called Helena.

However, the phone indicated that Helena's phone was already turned off.

Olivia left a message on her voicemail, saying coldly: "Helena! Who gave you the guts to defy my orders! If you dare to set foot on Nordic soil, I will kill..."

Before Olivia could finish her sentence, her father Richard snatched the phone from her hand, immediately ended the recording, and then blurted out: "Olivia, are you crazy?! If you say in the voicemail that you threaten to kill Helena's mother, once Helena makes the recording public, you are finished!"

Olivia was suddenly scared into a cold sweat and asked nervously: "Where did I stop just now?!"

Richard said with lingering fear: "Luckily I reacted quickly! You had just finished saying 'kill' when I terminated the message!"

Olivia let out a long breath, and while stroking her chest, she gritted her teeth and cursed: "Helena, that bitch! My sanity has been ruined by her!"

Richard didn't speak, but instead watched Helena's video with his wife before saying: "What exactly does Helena want to do by coming back at this time? Could it be that she wants to rescue her mother?"

Olivia's mother, Wendy, spoke up at this time: "Helena is not a fool. She must know that with her capabilities, it is impossible for her to find the whereabouts of her mother. So, in my opinion, she is coming back this time very likely to show goodwill to us and take the opportunity to ease the relationship."

Olivia said coldly: "I don't care what her purpose is, but the fact that she returned to Northern Europe without my permission is clearly defying my orders!"

After saying that, Olivia added: "And I already demanded yesterday that she must go to Saint Petersburg, Russia, but not only did she not listen, she even dared to return to Northern Europe. She really has a lot of nerve!!"

"And she even had the audacity to say in the short video that she wants to be my bridesmaid! I won't let her be my bridesmaid! At my wedding, I absolutely will not allow her to jump out and steal the spotlight!"

Richard frowned and said: "I heard that the Ye family has already surrendered to the Wanlong Palace. However, although they surrendered, the Ye family should still have half of their assets left. Counting it up, they have at least 100 to 200 billion euros in assets. This strength cannot be underestimated."

"And the Concorde Helena is flying in is also an asset of the Ye family. From this, it can be seen that although the Ye family has suffered heavy losses, they haven't completely collapsed yet. To us, she is still very valuable."

Having said this, he advised Olivia: "So, I think you don't need to be too angry yet. Let's see what Helena really wants to do. If she really wants to repair the relationship with you and can consciously leave Northern Europe after your grand wedding, then let her cooperate with us well after she returns and attract the Ye family's funds to Northern Europe. Why do you have to make things so tense with her?"

Olivia said with a look of disgust: "Because I don't like being on equal footing with Helena!"

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and continued: "For so many years, no matter what I did, I was suppressed by her. In terms of succession law, she is ahead of me! In terms of looks, she is prettier than me! In terms of grades, she has always been better than me! Even in terms of being loved by the people, she far exceeds me!"

"Later, I finally managed to get the first-in-line succession, but her public support rate was still the highest!"

Having said this, Olivia roared angrily: "What I can't stand the most is! After I was crowned as the first-in-line successor, there were actually nearly a million Nordic citizens with nothing better to do who went to the US White House website to petition, demanding that the White House intervene in the Nordic royal family and let Helena be restored as the first-in-line successor! This matter was number one on the news charts in every European and American country. For me, it is a lifetime of shame!!!"

"So, what I want is for her to bow her head to me permanently! No matter when she sees me, she must bow down and respectfully call me Princess Olivia!"

Her mother, Wendy, hurriedly advised: "Olivia, don't be so angry for now. Since Helena has already posted the video and publicly announced that she is coming back, in order not to let the public find fault, we can only accept her for the time being and let her attend your wedding."

As she spoke, Wendy added: "At the same time, you have to let her be your bridesmaid, because only then can we ensure that the public won't raise any questions. Once the wedding is over, force her to consciously leave Northern Europe and never let her come back again."

Olivia said with a twisted expression: "She is deliberately using the public to manipulate me! Am I just going to watch her come and go as she pleases?! If she succeeds this time, it won't be long before she has a next time! If she pulls this stunt again on the day of my coronation, what will I do?! This is simply outrageous!"

Wendy said: "Olivia, you don't need to worry about that. Since Helena has already posted the video and boarded the plane, let's just let her come back this one time. But after she returns, we must control her and tell her that if she dares to return to Northern Europe without permission next time, we will kill her mother immediately. Let her weigh it herself!"
