Despite Helen going that far for Frank, he refused to help even though her uncle''s life was on the line, and it hurt.


    It did make sense, however, with the many beauties hovering around Frank-even Helen was herself just one of them, and it would not hurt him to lose her.


    Seeing her devastated reaction, Frank rubbed his brow in slight irritation. "Calm down. I said I''m not going to give the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, but that doesn''t mean I''m not going to help."


    "Help? How?"


    Helenughed miserably. "They have Uncle Gavin and would kill him at any moment, but you''re refusing to give a single herb!"


    "Can you stop being unreasonable?"


    Frank retorted, "I''m telling you the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom means a lot to me, and it''s not a question of money. I wouldn''t even bat an eye if I had to give you anything else, but this is really impassive."


    "Did you just say that I''m being unreasonable?!"


    However, Helen was clearly insulted, and her temper red as she turned her head aside. "Right, I''m unreasonable! You have so many others that you wouldn''t even miss me! I''ll do something about this myself!"


    Her heart broke even as she ranted.


    First, it was Vicky Turnbull, and then it was Winter Lawrence.


    Winter was supposedly Frank''s ''sister'', but how could Helen not see the way Winter looked at Frank?Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    And to make things worse, it did not stop at Winter either, as soon came Draconia''s top actress, Noel York, and Kat Yego out of nowhere.


    Did Frank really think that Helen was


    fine with all of that? It was only natura that the time bomb she


    swnevelne


    1.ne


    buried deep inside herself blew up!


    He was clearly treating her differently now, as he would agree to her requests in the past, no matter how absurd it was.


    But now, she was only asking him for an herb-not for herself at that, but to save her uncle.


    And everyone had seen that Gavin thought highly of Frank, even admiring him and calling to check on him from time to time.


    It would have been fine if Frank


    refused because Gavin was some vile character who insulted Frank in the past. However, Helen owed him plenty, and he also supported Frank immensely-it simply would not fly for Frank to abandon him for an herb.


    Moreover, the Southstream Lanes were waiting for Helen to do something-they would definitely talk if they heard Frank''s refusal to help.


    Even Mark Lane would be displeased, as Gavin was his favorite son.


    It would look to them as if Helen was unnecessary with Frank''s new love interests, and he could dump her at any moment he wanted.


    Nearby, seeing Helen on the verge of tears left Gina especially upset.


    "Frank Lawrence! And here I was going to change my mind about you, but you''re even more callous than before?!"


    Gina snapped coolly, taking Helen''s


    hand and pulling her toward herself, "He doesn''t care, so we don''t have to ask him for anything! I doubt there''s any other man who would refuse my daughter''s request!"
