NovelEnglish"0O-Okay, I'll do it right away," Gina exclaimed and promptly poured another cup of tea, handing it to Helen and giving her a look.
Helen clenched her knuckles, ready to refuse serving it to Fleur again, when she remembered Vicky.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven now, the difference between them was huge—becoming the head of the Lane family was Helen's only way to turn the tables against Vicky.
As Helen prepared to reach out and take the tea cup, Frank, who already had enough, snatched the cup off her hands.
Gina did a double take but was soon incensed. "What are you doing, Frank?!" Was he going to mess up yet another monumental opportunity for her?! If he upset Fleur, forget about Helen becoming the next head of the Lane family—they would be exiled again! "Frank..." Helen was murmuring.
She certainly knew that Frank had enough and was saving her from further misery.
Still, just as everyone was left hesitating, Frank snorted as he briskly flung the tea at Fleur's face.
"Argh!" Fleur shrieked as the brown tea splashed all over her, melting her thick makeup instantly.

On the other hand, Jade was afraid of Frank's connections but yelled at him anyway, "This is our family's business! You don't get to meddle!" "That's right!" Luna screamed as well. "You and Helen have yet to remarry, and that means you're not family! You have no place here!" [x] Frank remained perfectly calm as he put the teacup on the table, a stark contrast to the others in the room.
Sneering, he asked, "Family business? | don't know about that, but Madam Lang there was saying it burns, so | was just testing it." Turning toward Fleur even as she quivered with rage, Frank shook his head. "I guess it didn't burn, or you'd be on your feet—don't you think? It's the stea from the steapot, so | wonder who's the liar." Fleur shook in fury even as she met his cool eyes.
Her face still dripping wet, she suddenly shoved Gina away as she whipped out a document and slammed it on the table.
"Do you know what this is?!" she snapped in a frenzy, glaring viciously at Helen. "It's the proof of your candidacy that the wretched Mark Lane passed to me! Our family owns a billion-dollar investment company in Southdam, and he was going to appoint you as CEO. But now?!" Wheeling on Frank venomously, she sneered, "I changed my mind because of your dear husband! I'd rather throw it away than pass it to you!" Gina started hyperventilating at Fleur's words. "A billion-dollar investment company?!" If Helen did becCEO, Gina would becrich and powerful as she had always dreamt of! Frank's Talnam ruby certainly dulled in comparison! "Go on, Helen! Serve Madam Lang tea!" Gina exclaimed in such a thrill that she almost broke her voice.
