Helen ran straight toward Frank, throwing her hands around his waist as she hid her head over his


    chest.


    "Oh... What should I do, Frank? My candidacy will be forfeited now!" she groaned. "And a billion-dor


    investmentpany! I wouldn''t have to suffer Vicky if only I had it. Sobs."


    Her remorseful reaction akin to a toddler''s left Frank chuckling as he watched her.


    "Weren''t you full of confidence just now?" he asked, pping her on the shoulder tofort her.


    "I-I was just putting on airs!" Helen pouted miserably. "I was being impulsive, doing what I thought Vicky


    would do. and you''reughing at me! Oh, I''m such a goner."


    She kept whimpering as she punched Frank yfully on the chest.


    It was certainly a far cry from her girlboss strut just now, and Frank had to hold back hisughter


    despite his amusement.


    "Oh, the injustice." Gina was left watching in despair as they flirted.


    Frank''s ruby was gone, and now the billion-dor investmentpany. It was all overwhelming her,


    and she could really hit her head on the pir right then and end it all.


    Naturally, she did not have the guts to see it through and could only copse on the couch, sighing


    while aging a decade in appearance.


    That was when Helen''s phone rang, and she answered it.


    "What happened, Helen?" Gavin Lane asked from the other end. "Madam Lang is throwing a major


    tantrum, saying she''d rather a dog have the billion-dor investmentpany than you?"


    Helen did a double take, remembering Luna''s smug face just then.


    Was Gavin referring to Luna as a dog?


    She almost burst out inughter, but Gavin heard her and asked sternly, "What''s so funny, Helen?"


    "Oh, nothing," Helen quickly said, turning back into a girlboss in a split second and telling Gavin


    everything that had happened just now.


    Gavin was left sighing. "Please don''t get offended, Helen—and Mr. Lawrence, of course. Madam Lang


    is old and prefers how things were in her heyday."


    Gavin was certainly smart—there was absolutely no ming Helen once he heard that Frank was


    involved.


    If they pushed the man too far, candidacy or billion-dor investmentpany really would not matter


    at that point.


    However, Fleur might not understand it just because Gavin did.


    She always was the worst senior member among the Southstream Lanes. If Helen really angered her


    and she spoke out against her to Mark, Helen''s candidacy as the next head of the Lane family would


    go up in smoke even though Gavin fought hard for it.


    How would he ride Frank''s coattail at that point?!


    That was when Gina, who had been spacing out for a while, suddenly appeared beside Helen.


    She snatched Helen''s phone right then, crying urgently, "Please, Gavin. We''ll drop by someday to


    apologize—Frank and Helen together, of course. Really, it''s all Frank''s fault, and I''m sure Madam LangExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    would be pleased if they sincerely apologized, right?"


    Gavin was left speechless by Gina''s ramblings.
