Helen ran straight toward Frank, throwing her hands around his waist as she hid her head over his chest.
"Oh... What should I do, Frank? My candidacy will be forfeited now!" she groaned. "And a billion-dollar investment company! | wouldn't have to suffer Vicky if only | had it. Sobs." Her remorseful reaction akin to a toddler's left Frank chuckling as he watched her.
"Weren't you full of confidence just now?" he asked, clapping her on the shoulder to comfort her.

It was certainly a far cry from her girlboss strut just now, and Frank had to hold back his laughter despite his amusement.
"Oh, the injustice." Gina was left watching in despair as they flirted.
Frank's ruby was gone, and now the billion-dollar investment company. It was all overwhelming her, and she could really hit her head on the pillar right then and end it all.
Naturally, she did not have the guts to see it through and could only collapse on the couch, sighing while aging a decade in appearance.
That was when Helen's phone rang, and she answered it.
"What happened, Helen?" Gavin Lane asked from the other end. "Madam Lang is throwing a major tantrum, saying she'd rather a dog have the billion-dollar investment company than you?" Helen did a double take, remembering Luna's smug face just then.
Was Gavin referring to Luna as a dog? [x] She almost burst out in laughter, but Gavin heard her and asked sternly, "What's so funny, Helen?" "Oh, nothing," Helen quickly said, turning back into a girlboss in a split second and telling Gavin everything that had happened just now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGavin was left sighing. "Please don't get offended, Helen—and Mr. Lawrence, of course. Madam Lang is old and prefers how things were in her heyday." Gavin was certainly smart—there was absolutely no blaming Helen once he heard that Frank was involved.
If they pushed the man too far, candidacy or billion-dollar investment company really would not matter at that point.
However, Fleur might not understand it just because Gavin did.
She always was the worst senior member among the Southstream Lanes. If Helen really angered her and she spoke out against her to Mark, Helen's candidacy as the next head of the Lane family would go up in smoke even though Gavin fought hard for it.
How would he ride Frank's coattail at that point?! That was when Gina, who had been spacing out for a while, suddenly appeared beside Helen.
She snatched Helen's phone right then, crying urgently, "Please, Gavin. We'll drop by someday to apologize— Frank and Helen together, of course. Really, it's all Frank's fault, and I'm sure Madam Lang would be pleased if they sincerely apologized, right?" Gavin was left speechless by Gina's ramblings.
