As his blood-curdling scream rang, Gable Lane was sent flying crashing through the ss wall and down Lanecorp Tower.


    "Frank Lawrence!"


    Fleur was furious to see Frank would actually kill in broad daylight, but before she could say another word, Frank wheeled on her with a sinister re, leaving her flinching.


    "Insolence!"


    That was when the elderly woman who had been standing by Fleur all this while strode up.


    While she had been calm andposed before, she was now ring coldly at Frank as she snapped, "How dare you murder a member of the Lane family right in front of me!"


    "And who are you?" Frank asked, though he had an idea given how the woman carried with authority, as if she was above the rest.


    Fleur quickly snapped at Frank, "She''s Yora Yimmel, my dear sister and the matriarch of the Lane family!"


    "Yora Yimmel?"


    Frank did a double take-he had never heard that name before, but ''matriarch of the Lane family'' was not really hard to ce.


    Helen flinched in turn, because Yora was Mark Lane''s wife and Helen''s granduncle.


    She was also the direct heiress of the Yimmels of Bralog, and even Mark himself had to show her due deference.


    In recent years, she had been staying with her birth family in Bralog due to unmentioned circumstances, but she grew in power and became their de facto matriarch.


    One could certainly say that she was untouchable in the Lane family-even Mark could not pull rank against her, since the Yimmels were more than powerful in contrast to the Lane family.


    Moreover, Mark owed his sesses


    to the Yimmels'' support when he


    started his career in business. It would be apt to liken Yora to a princess marrying a humble merchant, and it was why no one in


    the Lane family would dare incur her Wrath.


    Her authority as matriarch certainly carried weight, and it was not surprising that Fleur was not really worried about anything. "Madam Yimmer? What brings you here? You could have informed me ahead of time..."


    Helen quickly walked up to Yora with


    ё


    an apologetic smile, but at the very next instant, Yora swung her palm, pping her violently across the face!


    Everyone in the office was left stunned right then.


    "Madam Yimmer...?"


    Helen was clutching her cheek-Yora had struck her so hard she was left leaning against her desk, dumbstruck.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    She had never disrespected the matriarch, even sending gifts back when she was appointed head of the Lane family.


    And now, when she finally showed up, she immediately pped her in the face?!


    "Get away from her!"


    Frank glowered when he saw that Helen was attacked, glowering as he leapt up to shield Helen behind himself.


    "Watch yourself! How dare you treat the matriarch with such insolence!" a man with a split-mustache barked as he strode in.


    Mr. Noon had been keeping his presence hidden, but Frank immediately noticed that he was Ascendant rank as soon as he appeared!


    That was when the conference room


    doors opened again, and a scowling


    Gina hurried inside, rambling as


    soon as she stepped in, "I heard that Luna''s dead. Helen, did you


    Before she finished, she saw the others inside and dropped to her knees audibly when she saw Yora.
