Helen kept striding menacingly toward Gina, snapping, "What about Dad? You kept telling me he dumped you and is living like a king here!”

"Well..." Gina sighed exasperatedly, knowing that the cat was out of the bag. "It was an accident. I-I didn't mean to do harm.”

"Fine, even if you didn't, what were you trying to do with his estate?!" Helen snarled, gritting her teeth so hard that they could break. "Why were you stopping me from reaching out to Uncle Gavin and the rest of the family but so keen on having us Northstream Lanes being taken back?!" Oh

Gina's eyes were darting away—she had excuses for anything else but not this question because the persons involved were right there with them!

Even Jade was speaking up. "Surely you know how to weigh matters according to their importance, Helen. You're an adult—and a strong, independent woman! I mean, the CEO of Lane Holdings? You have to see what's obviously right and wrong, let alone hesitate!"

"Exactly. Us Southstream Lanes would be ready to help. You won't suffer for this.”

And seeing that everyone was trying to change Helen's mind now, Gina promptly switched gears and stopped throwing her tantrum.

Making a miserable face as she joined in the lobbying crowd, she cried, "Please, Helen. I'm your mother. Could you really bear to watch me get killed?"

Helen could not help turning toward Frank even as she withstood the endless persuasive words thrown at her.

He remained impassive, however, simply standing there and saying nothing.

Naturally, he was letting her decide and seeing if she would believe him or be swayed by her own family and doubt him again.
