"You're still arguing?!"Mark shot Jade an icy glare and added coolly, "The same goes for you too! Fifty lashes and a hundred slaps!""What?!" Jade dropped limply on her bottom upon hearing Mark's merciless sentence, all light in her eyes fading.While the bodyguards took Jade away, Mark finally turned to Gable.There was no sympathy in his eyes as he shook his head and sighed. "My brother Henry has always rebuked me, telling me that I shouldn't get too many wives and mistresses. But I was convinced that having more heirs would ensure the family's property. Well, look at me now…"Snorting in sheer disappointment, he glanced at Gavin. "There's so many of us, but only Gavin here has an eye on the big picture or is able to differentiate right from wrong."Then, he turned to Helen with a look of relief. "In the first place, I gave Helen the candidacy as the next head of the Lane family because I wanted to whip the family into shape. I wanted the family to strive… but my own sons don'

After all, Fleur and her ilk could not imagine how Frank could earn a billion dollars through the farm resort. And if Frank departed from Riverton, they would once again take back control of the family and Mark would not be able to say a thing about that.Talk about playing to their tune…"In that case, that's all for today," Mark said. "Frank, Helen… I hope you won't disappoint me."Once Mark turned and headed inside the manor with the rest of his family, Helen was suddenly her old self. "Frank…" she murmured. "Can we really do this? T-There's no way, right? I mean, it's a billion dollars we're talking about!"Her ice queen self melted away as she revealed her true self, and she was tugging on Frank's sleeve miserable. She was certainly a lot less of that determined independent woman from before and more a miserable young girl.Frank almost laughed out loud right then."You're laughing?! You're terrible!" Helen flushed, biting her lip grumpily."Sorry, can't help it." Frank

Gina quickly shook her head. "No… You must have heard wrong."She was still afraid of Vicky and had no choice but to smile awkwardly, pulling Cindy along as she fled.Before they got away, however, Vicky was smiling and beckoning. "Wait. You wanted reservations for the farm resort's hyper premium experience, didn't you?""Eh?" Gina promptly turned, nodding and smiling fawningly. "Of course! Oh, you're as generous as ever, not keeping grudges—""Oh, but I'm not finished." Vicky grinned. "I meant to say that you can attend the auction tonight if you want reservations.""What?""Y-You're not giving it to us for free?"Both Gina and Cindy froze, utterly confused. "Of course not. Just offering some advice, y'know." Vicky shrugged.Gina and Cindy realized right then that Vicky was just messing with them. However, they did not dare to say a word and had to leave seething."Hahaha…" Vicky was roaring with laughter as she watched them go, wiping a tear off her eye. "Your mother is

Rory was shouting even as she glowered, "Forget not giving me directions—he's treating me with such rudeness! Does he not know who I am?""What?""What's going on here?'Rory's outburst drew a lot of attention, and even the rich and powerful were shocked when they saw her.After all, she was Draconia's top singer with legions of fans.It just so happened that Samus, one of the rich kids present, was her diehard fan.Seeing that his idol was upset, he strode up and shoved Frank, snapping, "Don't you know who Ms. Thames is?! She's the country's best singer and has won multiple awards! Who do you think you are, treating her so rudely?!"Vicky frowned in the distance when she heard the commotion and strode over. "What's going on here?!"Rory clearly recognized Vicky and was looking at her pointedly from head to toe.She snorted haughtily. "What do you teach your employees around here, Ms. Turnbull? Not only was he not showing me proper hospitality, but he was even being dismissive

Just as the ladies chattered away busily, Vicky was suddenly grinning mischievously."Hold on. Let me make a call…" she said, picking up her phone from the edge of the pool and dialing a familiar number. "Hello, darling?""What are you doing?!" Helen's eyes widened, sensing danger right then."Shush…" Vicky winked at her before continuing her staged act. "Yeah. The hot spring Helen and I are using isn't really working… Yeah, come take a look, hurry!"As she hung up, she flashed a sly smile at Helen. "Vicky… Urgh…" Helen obviously knew what Vicky was up to, and that she could not dissuade her at all.While she would like to enjoy the hot spring with Frank, she was left looking around at the pool, congested with women.If Frank came, would he not…That was when Helen realized in surprise that she felt the cheeky curiosity of how Frank would react… which was soon followed by a pang of guilt."No, he's not coming in here. Give me the phone, Vicky!" she snapped indignantly."No w
