Gina urged, "Hurry up already, Cindy! We can''t stay here in Riverton... No, we can''t stay in this country
at all! We need to escape abroad, and we only have twenty minutes to make it to the airport!"

"Coming!" Cindy eximed, carrying a pile of Helen''s branded cosmetic products out of Helen''s room
and shoving everything into a suitcase.
When Gina saw that, she promptly snapped angrily, "Oh, just drop it, Cindy! How much are those
cosmetic products worth anyway? Let''s go!"
"Have you bought our ne tickets, Aunt Gina?"
"I did—I still have dozens of millions in savings, and with these treasures, we''d have enough money to
survive abroad for a while."
Despite what she said, anxiety was written all over Gina''s face.
They did not stay at Graves Mansion earlier and fled with the guests instead.
After all, judging from Helen''s reaction, Gina knew she would not marry Chaz on this day.
And with that going up in smoke, the Southstream Lanes would never ept them, while the Graves
family and the Lionhearts would pin the me on their family.
Gina was especially concerned about the Lionhearts, because if they pressed me and came after
them, they would be dead even before they knew it!
Either way, they could not stay in Draconia, let alone Riverton!
Gina could not care less about Helen either.
If Helen had made up her mind on eloping with that bastard Frank, she could face the consequences
herself! As her mother, Gina had done all she could!
"Oh, this is killing me." Gina shook with sheer frustration.
She was so sure that she could return to the fold of the Northstream Lanes triumphant, to leapfrog up
the pecking order and most importantly, to flex on Mason Lane for belittling her!
She was not unreasonable—her daughter''s engagement to Chaz was all thanks to her setting things
that way! She just did not think that Helen would get cold feet, let alone run away with Frank!
She had certainly lost more than what she bargained for—forget leapfrogging, she now had a target
painted on her head!
And when the Lionheartse calling, even the Southstream Lanes would suffer, let alone Gina
hearself!
Still, Gina could takefort in the fact that the Graves and the Lionhearts would get rid of Frank for
good.
He might be able to use his connections to weasel his way out if he was only up against the Graves
family, but against the Lionhearts? Even the Turnbulls would not be able to save him!
Gina was not worried about Helen''s safety either, since Chaz had always treasured Helen.
Hell, there was a huge chance that Helen would change her mind if Frank was killed, and Gina would
be able to return from abroad sooner. Everything would fall into ce once more, with neither the
Graves nor the Lionhearts pressing the issue.
However, even as Gina was busy fantasizing, Jade Zahn and her daughter Luna Lane stormed into
Lane Manor with a group of bodyguards.
"Jade...?" Gina''s heart skipped a beat since it had been a while since Jade showed up.
"We''ve all heard, and it''s all your fault, you ipetent Northstream Lanes!" Jade''s pudgy cheeks
shook even as she mmed her palm on the table. " Do you call yourself a mother, Gina?! Your
daughter got cold feet at the altar, insulting the Graves and the Lionhearts. Even us Southstream Lanes
are now aughing stock. And you think you could just run away without a care? Dream on!"
"Jade. W-What are you doing?!" Gina kept a vice-like grip on her suitcase, refusing to let go even as
Jade''s bodyguards strode up to take it from her!
