Chapter 55
As Rocco escorted Helen and Gina out of the front door, Helen was about to get into her car when she spotted a familiar figure.
It was Dan Zimmer, the owner of Riverton’s Flora Hall.
The last time they were at Verdant Hotel, Sean pointed out Dan to Helen when Dan was following
Gerald.
Running up to Dan, she called out, “Mr. Zimmer?”
Gina hurried after her, while Dan turned when he heard her name called.
Looking at Helen in surprise, he asked in curiosity, “And you are…?”
Helen flashed a businesslike smile. “My name is Helen Lane. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
“Oh!” Dan exclaimed in realization. “So you are Ms. Lane. Apologies.”
Helen was actually surprised that he would be that respectful. “Do you know me, Mr. Zimmer?
“Nope.” Dan shook his head. “But everyone has heard your name. Securing a partnership with the Turnbulls despite your youth? Your future is immeasurably bright!”
Helen blushed a little. “You flatter me, Mr. Zimmer. By the way, was Mr. Wesley the one who sent you?
Beside her, Gina was grinning ear–to–ear, feeling smug to learn that Dan knew her daughter!
“Of course he did,” she said. “Who else would have?”
However, Dan was stumped. “Mr. Wesley? Who are you talking about?”
Gina quickly said, “Sean Wesley, of course.”
“Oh…” Dan nodded he had heard of the man, but there was no connection between them. “Of
course not. He did not call me.”
“What?” Gina was dumbfounded.
Even Helen was left in disbelief… until she remembered Rocco mentioning that her husband came.
She realized right then that Frank must have sent Dan to help Lyndon!
However, she was already divorced with Frank, and she did not want to be indebted to him.
She quickly opened her purse, scrunching as she spoke, “Thank you so much, Mr. Zimmer. May I ask you what your fee is? I’ll foot the bill…”
Dan shook his head. “You don’t have to. The fee has been paid. Also, I have other matters to attend to, so I shall be going now.”
Helen bowed. “Thank you, Mr. Zimmer.”
Dan nodded and got into his car.
Before leaving, he said, “Ms. Lane. I don’t know why you divorced your ex–husband, but I find him a good man. You should cherish him more.”
Helen smiled awkwardly in turn. “Thank you for your advice, Mr. Zimmer.‘
With that, Dan wound up his window and left.
His mentioning of Frank made Helen even more convinced that Frank was the one who sent Dan.
On the other hand, Gina was staring as Dan’s car sped off into the distance, muttering, “Mr. Zimmer’s a lot more relaxed than I had thought he was… But it’s weird. If it wasn’t Mr. Wesley, who else could it be?”
“It was Frank,” Helen said quietly–she was sure of that as soon as Dan mentioned him.
Gina pursed her lips. “What, Frank Lawrence? Quite joking around–it’s already wonderful that he’s not causing more problems, let alone save you!”
One way or another, Gina would never believe that Frank would be that nice.
Helen was speechless but did not bother to explain.
