Turning toward Hubert, Trenton reasoned, "Mr. Sorano, why don't you apologize to Mr. Lawrence and promise you won't ever harass him, and let bygones be bygones?""Me, apologize to him?!" Hubert gaped at Trenton in disbelief, unable to believe his ears."Yes." Trenton nodded in confirmation."No way!" Hubert bellowed, pointing at Frank as he snapped, "He took away my golden goose and threatened my life! And you want me to apologize after all that?! Aren't you bodyguards who serve the Lionhearts? What, are you worried he'd attack you? Do you think he has the balls?!"Trenton was actually the Lionhearts' executive who was based in Riverton. As a retainer of the hearts, he was naturally well-connected. He had long since heard about Frank's accomplishments from Riverton's governor Robert Quill, and the Chief of General Affairs Gerald Simmons.Naturally, he inevitably came across rumors of Vicky being suspiciously close with Frank too.Trenton himself would have eliminated any man wh

The nearby elevator doors suddenly opened when Frank was just about to dispose of Hubert's corpse, and a familiar face appeared.It was none other than Helen Lane."Frank…?" she murmured.Frank glanced at her—she was visibly skinnier, and the dark circles under her eyes were obvious. Even if she tried her best to hide it with makeup, she could not hide it from Frank after their three-year marriage.It seemed that the last few days had not been kind to her.For his part, Frank stayed silent—he had cut all ties with her and had nothing more to say since she would soon marry Chaz.It was therefore shocking that Helen charged at him, grabbing his wrist as she cried, "Just calm down! Chaz told me you had a fight with Hubert Sorano—come on, let's go apologize to Hubert. The Graves family has just signed a partnership with the Lionhearts, and Chaz is now Titus Lionheart's ally. If you upset Chaz…"Before she could finish, she found the corpse on the stairs, her pupils dilating as she t

On the other end, Chaz was still gloating with an evil smile. "That dumb bitch is just a tool I'm using to humiliate Frank Lawrence. No, I'll deny even Helen her dignity, and Frank will watch as his woman is defiled by another man."Chuckling, he said, "Go—report to Titus Lionheart. My preparations here are complete, and all it takes is for Titus' elite fighters to arrive.""Yes, Mr. Graves," the bodyguard replied before hanging up with a trembling finger, his whole body shaking as he turned toward Frank.He was deeply terrified of Frank flying into a rage, killing him in one swift strike.What he did not expect was Frank to stand there, staring blankly instead of flipping out."M-Mr. Lawrence…?" the bodyguard called out to Frank miserably, not daring to flee despite Frank's distraction."Go."Turning toward the bodyguard as he came to his senses after a while, Frank said, "Don't ever fight me again if you want to live, and you'd better not show up at that wedding.""Y-Yes! Mr.

Frank quietly said: "I know you, Helen. You avoid looking into my eyes when you lie.""Don't act like you know me. You don't—and I'll be very clear." Helen smiled. "I'm different now. A person should be realistic and give up on pointless ambition. What's life for a woman, if not to find a man she could depend on and serve? Why deal with all the problems in a corner and shareholders instead of being a housewife? It's an easy life and good for everyone.""Is that what you really think?" Frank asked, looking searchingly into Helen's eyes."It is." Helen met his gaze without flinching this time. "It doesn't matter what you think or how highly you think of yourself—I'm not leaving with you, so just give up. It's getting late and I'm tired… It's time you leave."With those words, Helen quietly returned tinside Lane Manor, and Gina immediately leapt up to chase off Frank again. "What are you spacing out for?! Helen told you to leave, you delusional fool! Who do you think you are?!"Frank

Seeing that Helen frowned from what she said, Gina quickly assured her, "Don't worry—that bastard was just exaggerating. He was trying to trick you into eloping with him. He definitely won't try barging into this wolf's den… Who knows, he might have fled Riverton by now!"Helen was at once disappointed and hopeful—all she wanted was for Frank to be safe, and she could only hope that he refrained from causing things to spiral out of control.Cindy entered just then, and promptly grabbed the jewelry box, gaping at it and then at Helen, "Wow… Did Mr. Graves give these to you? Can I have a few of these necklaces? I've never worn anything so expensive…""Yeah, you can have it." Helen forced a smile.She had zero interest in the jewelry box and pushed it toward Cindy."Thank you, Helen!" Cindy was jubilant and tried on everything from the jewelry box while looking at herself in the mirror repeatedly.Gina sighed nearby—it was Frank's fault that Helen was like this.But those days were
