Seeing the security guards sitting among the guests get to their feet, Helen looked so nervous that she


    could cry. "Why did youe, Frank? You have to leave before the Graves family''s guardse for


    you!"


    "Leave?" Frank smiled. "Then I will bring you along with me."


    "You''re still joking around now?!" Helen could cry as she stamped her feet in frustration.


    "I''m not joking," Frank said, holding her gaze as his expression turned solemn. "I know that Chaz


    forced you into marrying him, by threatening my life at that."


    The room was left in an uproar at Frank''s words, as Chaz''s fabricated persona of a devoted lover


    crumbled.


    So Helen was coerced by Chaz into this wedding when she did not want to marry him?!

    There was not one soul who didn''t like gossip, especially the drama and intrigue involving rich and


    powerful families.


    Even as the guests were sent abuzz with excitement and listened attentively for more juicy details,


    Helen shook her head and smiled miserably.


    "So what if he did, Frank?" she sobbed. "I know you''re strong and you have Vicky Turnbull''s support,


    but can you defeat ten, or even a hundred? Can Vicky protect you if the Lionheartse after you?


    And you''ve now insulted the Graves family. If they work with the other top families of Southstream...


    Don''t you know that you''re already helpless?!"


    "Shush." Frank put a finger on her lips to stop her from talking and held her gaze. "Forget our three-


    year marriage—have I ever lied to you, even after our divorce?"


    Helen wanted to lie but ultimately admitted, "No."


    "Then trust me this one time!" Frank said, holding out a hand. "I can''t offer flowery words or promise


    you anything, but I''m now standing right here and asking if you''lle with me, Helen."


    Helen was silent at that.


    She looked around her.


    Chaz was barely repressing his rage, while Gina was charging toward them.


    The crowd was in an uproar.


    The Graves family''s security guards were running at them, their weapons poised.


    The Lionhearts'' bodyguards did the same, under orders from Wilbur Lionheart.


    Helen became hesitant—she could leave with Frank now, but what would happen after?


    She was always smart and rational.


    That was why she knew how terrible the consequences would be if she trusted Frank—the Graves, the


    Lionhearts and even her own family would attack them.


    Forget actually escaping—what would happen after that? Would they run to the ends of the earth?


    What about Gina, Cindy, and the family whom her grandfather left in her care?


    "Grandfather..." Helen suddenly remembered the will that Henry Lane wrote for her.
