Chapter 1742


    ?


    "Hahaha!!!"


    Huub was at once nervous, but his knuckles eased triumphantly as he saw the footage.


    Fortune was really on his side! He was just bullshiting, but by an unprecedented stroke of luck, Frank had just proven himself guilty!


    Laughing coldly as he pointed at an impassive Frank, "See?! You''re the one who switched out my treasure, and the kidnapper noticed that it wasn''t real!"


    "What else do you have to say now?! Let me guess you were already dead set on sacrificing Helen''s uncle yesterday just to keep your Bloodcrane Spiritbloom even when Helen came to your doorstep asking you for it!


    "But when she left with me, you heard that I had one too, so you wanted mine as well! So you got a fake one, found out where we were making the exchange with the kidnapper, hid here, and switched out my Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, even trying to frame me for it!


    "You tried to catch the kidnapper directly to win Helen''s favor anyway, and that sure was a fat lot of help! How cunning and heinous can you stoop, Frank?!"


    Frank''s eyes narrowed at Huub''s seemingly righteous usation, while both Helen and Gina were staring at him suspiciously.


    They could not be med, however, as Huub''s exnation made more sense.


    Not only did Frank show up here unannounced, but he had allegedly failed to catch the kidnapper, and the exchange therefore ended up a failure.


    In fact, it did not matter if Frank actually made the switch-there was no question that he had messed up Helen''s attempts to trade with the kidnapper.


    Gina was at once furious. "Frank Lawrence! You''re really a cunning one-not only did you want to steal Huub''s ancestral heirloom, but you''re trying to take us for fools?! I''m honestly almost impressed!"


    "How could you do this, Frank?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Helen shook her head unhappily even as she let go of his hand. "There''s nothing going on between me and Mr. Droitner-he''s just trying to helpme save Uncle Gavin, even giving me his family heirloom You, on the other hand..."  to

    Helen sighed in disappointment and held out her palm at Frank. "Return the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom you took from Mr Droitner now. I get it-you''re not giving up yours to save Uncle Gavin, but we need this one. You don''t get to stop me... And don''t you understand what you''re doing? You''re stealing! It''s theft!"  to


    Frank just could not argue at Helen''s look of disappointment, and he wheeled on Huub, who was subtly smirking.


    ring at him, Frank snapped coldly, "Huub Droitner! You know very well that your Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is a fake! I''m not a dishonorable prick like you, and I will save Gavin Lane in my own way! And remember. This is yet another injustice you''ve dealt me!"  to


    "Frank Lawrence! Stop!"


    Helen grabbed him, seeing that he was ready to leave. "I don''t care what you have against Mr. Droitner, but you have to give his Bloodcrane Spiritbloom back right now! It''s the only way we can save Uncle Gavin!"


    Gina leapt up and grabbed Frank too. "Frank! If you''d really taken Mr. Droitner''s Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, I don''t mind dying here fighting you! I''ll show everyone your true colors now!"
