"What's wrong? You can just tell me, Uncle Gavin," Helen said, frowning.
"Alright... Just stay calm, alright?" Gavin asked.

Gavin sighed and spoke solemnly just then. "Your uncles recently returned. They found out about that farm, and they argued withand your granduncle a few times about it." Pausing, Gavin sighed again. "Then last night, a large group of goons charged into the farm and burnt down the place, causing devastating losses." "What?!" It was not just Helen and Vicky-Frank was furious too.
"I've told your granduncle already," Gavin continued exasperatedly. "We both believe the goons were sent by your uncles, and your granduncle had them both brought back to Laneville. But they refused to admit it, and there's nothing we can do." Hearing that, Frank grabbed Helen's phone and asked urgently, "Mr. Lane, what about the herbal bath extract I kept in the warehouse? Are those still around?" "Oh, Mr. Lawrence..." Gavin murmured guiltily. "If you meant the pots of green fluids... every pot was spilled over, and there's nothing left. I never knew they'd go that far. The blis on me..." Frank, however, could not hear anything else Gavin said.
He had worked a long tto set up the farm resort, even using a rare treasure to brew that herbal bath extract.
It was supposed to be the mainstay, but it was gone now-how were they supposed to run this business without it?! Moreover, Noel York already filmed the commercials, and even Dan Zimmer of Flora Hall had endorsed it in public.
Could they really delay the opening? But without the herbal bath extract, how was Frank supposed to fulfill the longevity they stated on the commercials? Ring...

"Mr. Lawrence..." The man's voice was shaking with rage.
"It's fine, I know." Frank stopped him, taking a moment to calm down before asking, "How bad is it?" "It's... terrible," Trevor growled hoarsely and murderously. "I'll send my men to Laneville right now and make them pay!" "That's enough!" Frank snapped, frowning as he stopped Trevor.
Then, he paused for a moment before he continued, "Now's not the tfor that. Just keep this in mind and we will pick it up later. The priority now is to minimize the ne damage. Are two days enough to repair all the property damage?" Trevor was silent for a moment but soon replied, "Yes, Mr. Lawrence. But the herbal bath for the hot springs... It's all—" "Just leave that to me. Don't worry about it," Frank assured him, even as he gave express orders. "Make an inventory of our losses and replenish our warehouses. I'll be back with the herbal bath in a couple of days. Just get it done." "Yes, Mr. Lawrence," Trevor replied and hung up.
Frank breathed a long sigh in turn, his gaze dark-it appeared that someone was deliberately sabotaging the farm resort!
