Chris chuckled. “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s no big deal at all.”


    Henry and Frank entered just then, and Helen quickly told Henry, “You have nothing to worry about


    now, Grandpa. The sanctions against us have been lifted.”


    ‘Really?” Henry did a double take and quickly realized that Frank did it since he was just on his phone.


    “Well, we really owe Frank for that.”


    Frank nodded–it seemed that Donald had caved, and Vi would soon be here to apologize to Helen.


    Gina, however, snorted in disdain. “Him? What does it have to do with him? It’s all thanks to Mr. Steiner


    that the sanctions were lifted!”


    “Impossible,” Henry retorted. “Frank was on his phone just now, and the sanctions were lifted soon


    after.”


    “Haha!” Peterughed as he pointed at Frank. “He made a phone call, and it’s done? Who did he call,


    Donald Szar? Who does he think he is?”


    “Exactly.” Chrisughed. “What are you going to say next, that the Szars woulde to apologize


    now?”


    “What if I do?” Frank replied tly.


    “Hah! All you can do is boast, lowlife.” Gina snorted.


    That was when a servant rushed inside. “Mr. Lane, Ms. Lane… Alfredo, the butler of the Szars, is


    asking to see you.”


    “What?!”


    Everyone was shocked, with Gina getting frantic since she feared the Szars,


    “Why did theye?” she cried. “Are they here to finish the job?”

    Peter turned to Chris right then. “M–Mr. Steiner, what should we do?”


    Chris gulped–he could not show his face at this time!


    “Oh, actually, I think you should go see them. I’m staying here, but I’ll be ready to help if anything


    happens,” he said very softly.


    “Why is everyone panicking? The Szars havee, and so be it. They’re surely not that


    unreasonable,” Helen said and slowly rose to her feet, her gaze fearless.

    “They’re here to apologize,” Frank said just then.


    “Shut up!” Gina promptly snapped at him. “Apologize?! How delusional can you get?”


    Helen, however, started toward the door, and the rest of the family had no choice but to follow


    except Chris, who hid in a corner, afraid to show his face.


    Walking up to Alfredo, Helen greeted him. “Good day, Mr. Alfredo. I apologize for theck of


    hospitality despite having you travel all this way.”


    “It’s perfectly fine, Ms. Lane,” Alfredo replied, perfectly polite if only because Helen was the key to


    saving Vi.


    Helen turned and saw Vi just then, and she did a double take.


    It was the same Vi. But while she beat Helen to an inch of her life yesterday, she appeared to be


    almost dying now…


    “To what do we owe the pleasure?” Helen asked tentatively just then.


    “I represent the Szar family in apologizing to you, Ms. Lane,” Alfredo said. “I’m afraid Ms. Szar


    had been a little rash yesterday, on top of having a misunderstanding. As such, we’vee expressly


    to apologize and ask for your forgiveness.”


    Helen’s eyes bulged, hardly able to believe her ears–they had reallye to apologize?!
