Helen was thoroughly disgusted with Sean after learning his true nature at Dynasty.
She had certainly misjudged him–even if Frank was a freeloader, he was not a liar like Sean.
Sean chuckled, knowing that she was still upset. “I know I was at fault, and I shouldn’t have claimed credit for everything–I promise I won’t do it again. Just give me a chance…”
“What chance?” Helen laughed coolly. “We’ve always been platonic friends, haven’t we?”
Sean was stumped, but it was clear Helen did not plan to make peace.
He was left watching as she disappeared into the time, fuming as he gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, “Fuck you, Helen! I helped you get this partnership with the Turnbulls, and you’d kick me to the curb? I will make you pay!”
Frank had been sitting on a bench below stage and sunbathing.
Helen appeared behind him just then and sat down beside him.
Frank slowly opened his eyes, and seeing Helen there, he said, “Oh, if it isn’t Ms. Lane. What are you doing here, instead of mingling with bigwigs?”
Helen sighed. “You know I don’t like socializing like this.”
“Isn’t that necessary for the quest to riches?” Frank teased.
“Yes… And I’m trying to change that,” Helen said, gritting her teeth. “Thank you, Frank.”
Frank was taken aback. “What for?”
“For saving me at the hospital,” Helen replied.
He did beat up Robin Grayson, which in turn angered his father Leo.
But it was all over now, and she now thanked him earnestly.
Prank straightened in his seat then, intending to properly talk to her just then. Im sorry I misunderstood. I didn’t know you’d gone to see Leo for my sake.”
stared at him for a while hesitantly and eventually asked, “How did you
find out about that?”
It was a question that had always bugged her.
However, there were so many things that had happened afterward, and she and Frank never got the chance to sit down and talk about it.
It was the same now, as Gina arrived with Peter and Greg.
“What are you doing here, Helen?” Gina asked right away. “There are still some bigwigs over there who would like to see you.‘
Helen was speechless. “I’d like to talk to Frank alone, Mom. You can talk to them instead.”
Gina rolled her eyes. “What is there to talk with a lowlife like him?”
Frank ignored Gina, however, as he was staring at Greg.
Gina was dining alone with that man before and was now linking arms in public already.
Were things not going a little too fast there?
As such, Frank offered a friendly reminder. “Mrs. Lane, now that Helen’s career is rising to new heights, I’d advise you to be more subtle and not do anything that would hurt Lane Holdings‘ reputation.”
Gina glanced at Greg and immediately understood. “I’m single now,” she replied with a snort. “I can do whatever I want.”
“Does Gramps know?” Frank asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Shut up, you piece of shit!” Gina pointed at Frank’s nose as she snapped right then. “Who do you think you are, lecturing me on what to do?”
Greg stopped her just then. “That’s enough, Gina. Stop arguing with him–I’ll speak with Mr. Lane in a few days about remarrying.”
In reality, he knew all too well that Frank was not what he seemed, though he did. not want to waste his breath either.
On the other hand, Peter did not care at all about his mother remarrying.
Looking around, he said, “Mr. Marsh, I saw Mr. Zimmer just now. When are you going to talk to him about my proposal?”
