Helen laughed miserably. "I'm your daughter, Mom! Forget running toafter you split up with Dad—you even had to burdenwith a dead weight like Cindy! And you know all too well how many terrible things she's done—do you think I'm that stupid?" Then, glaring at Gina, she continued, "Also, | welcomed you with open arms since you and Dad went your separate ways, but | never had a day of peace ever since you came!

Crash! Suddenly, the glass doverhead shattered as a figure leapt down deftly, crashing resoundingly between Frank and the bodyguards.
It was Burt Yorkman, who had long since made a full recovery.
"Mr. Lawrence—| mean, brother! | chere as soon as | heard you were crashing a wedding!" Laughing coolly, he whipped out a sword, glaring at the bodyguards around him as he bellowed, "Catif it's death you seek!"

No one listened, however.
Sof the calmer ones recognized the person with Frank—it was the top officer of Riverton, after all! "I-Is that Burt Yorkman, Riverton's best law enforcement officer?!" "It really is!" "And it looks like he's on Frank's side... he's actually that well connected?!" "What are you spacing out for?! Kill them!"
