She had to know how Minister Morris would react when Professor Jones finds out about the truth, and how the latter would react after knowing about his actions. Only after completely understanding the personalities of both of them could she plan something so meticulous and intricate.

But if the same plan was used on any other couple, it would a hundred percent backfire on Helena.
Vernon was stunned by how much calculation she put into doing this.
Then he couldn't help but think, did she really?
Did she really do so much calculation? Or did she just casually think of the plan from what she knows of Faye and her parents?
