NovelEnglishChapter 696 Jade, Luna, and Fleur—who hada major disagreement with Frank and the others at Lane Manor just yesterday—were there too.
Pursing her lips, Fleur was already snorting when Frank arrived. "I'm telling you—he definitely came empty-handed and is going to appeal to our better nature using Henry Lane's name. I mean, these people, pooling a billion dollars in a day? Dream on!" Roth Lane, Gavin's eldest son, was there too, frowning at her words.
"Madam Lang," he said quietly, "Mr.
Lawrence isn't all he seems. A billion dollars really isn't that much money to him."
"Oh, don't be such a wuss, Roth." Luna snorted haughtily. "Even I can admit | that Frank Lawrence has friends, but gathering a billion dollars in a day? It's still a challenge." "Don't worry, Luna." Jade grinned, winking at her. "That man obviously brought Helen here to appeal to emotion. And the farm is a money sink anyway — Helen would never make money out of it even if she bought it.

Meanwhile, Frank stopped his Maybach by the curb and alighted.
While Frank was dressed casually, Helen wore a sunflower print blouse with jeans and a large sun hat.
On the other hand, Vicky was dressed | more fashionably with her little black dress that kept her thigh-highs just | short of exposure.
Coupled with her stunning figure, shades and parasol, she certainly had the look of a noble daughter inspecting her lands.
Naturally, she was an heiress in every sense of the word.
Her getup left Roth stunned even as he stood afar, and it took him a long while to turn away and sigh—Vicky's fame for her beauty across the land was certainly warranted.
As for Luna, she could only pout and click her tongue. "Stinker." As Frank led both women to Gavin,
Gavin quickly asked, "How did it go, Helen? Do you have the capital ready?" oe | "Uh... Yes," Helen nodded tamely, glancing at Frank feebly.
Just yesterday, she received a call from her bank saying that someone wired two billion dollars into her account.
Naturally, it had to be Frank.
"Oh, that's good," Gavin said, sighing in relief at Helen's confirmation—who knew how Fleur would harass them if they did not have enough. "Just wait here for a moment. I'll send for my father right away." Gavin led them to the veranda before leaving to get his father.

caught his cue right then.
His father wanted him to be the ) mediator! Aa It was certainly a monumental task, but Roth nodded.
That was when Fleur, who was seated on an armchair, scoffed. "I was told yesterday that you're buying this farm, Helen. It's a good idea, but it's really expensive, with all the resources Mark poured into it. Do you have enough money?" "You don't have to worry about that, Madam Lang," Helen replied, her tone staunch despite her almost casual getup.
Frank suddenly remembered how Helen deflated after snapping at Fleur, Luna, and Jade, and he could not help
snickering.
Helen could immediately tell what was _ on his mind and subtly rolled her eyes at him.
