However, seeing that she had outraged the mob, Jade promptly leapt into her car and fled, not stopping to demand reparations from Brenda or anyone else.
Janet breathed a long sigh of relief in turn and turned toward Frank. "Thank you so much."
"You don't have to thank me," Frank chuckled. "Honestly, where did those aristocats come from? The people's outrage is certainly justified."
Brenda came up to Frank just then and bowed. "Thank you so much, son. I wouldn't know what to do if not for you."
"You're exaggerating, ma'am," Frank assured her. "It's really nothing."
Janet also cheered up considerably and smiled, "Ma'am, you could use some rest at Flora Hall."
"No, it's alright." Brenda quickly threw up her hands. "I'm actually fine, and I still need to work. Honestly, you are both so kind... I wish you the best of health. Get married and have many children..."
She naturally presumed that Frank and Janet were together, since they would make a very good looking couple.
"Huh." Janet was left stumped at her presumption.
After seeing off Brenda, Janet asked shyly, "How does stopping by at Flora Hall sound, Mr. Lawrence?"
Frank scratched his head awkwardly. "I think I'll pass. I should be heading home." -
Meanwhile, Jade and Luna had rushed to Riverton City Hospital, with the hospital chief personally
receiving them and setting Luna's arm.
Gina, Helen, and Peter soon arrived at their special ward as well, with Gina greeting Jade warmly as
soon as she saw her, "Long time no see, Jade. I missed you so much."
She spread her arms, ready to give Jade a hug, only for Jade to avoid her and growl in annoyance,
"What are you so happy about? My daughter is here—in a hospital!"
"Uh." Gina stammered as she quickly shook her head. "No, no, I'm not happy. I'm just glad since it's
been a while since we've seen each other, you see?"
Gina was certainly a lot less pompous around Jade.
After all, Jade was the wife to Mark Lane's eldest son, and Mark was the brother of Henry Lane, Gina's
father-in-law.
Mark's family business was based in Southstream, which expanded endlessly over the years thanks to
the man's talent.
On the other hand, Henry's legacy was nothing in comparison, giving Gina no cause to strut.
"Hmph."
Jade snorted in disdain. "I wouldn't have stayed in this pathetic town if Luna weren't hurt. Filthy
peasants."
"Yes, yes, exactly." Gina nodded repeatedly. "What happened here, Jade? How did you end up here instead of our manor?"
"Where else would I go?" Jade huffed grumpily. "Some peasant attacked me, and Luna's arm was dislocated!"
"What? You were attacked?" Helen was actually shocked.
"Who could be so bold?" Gina actually flinched.
She was hoping that the Southstream Lanes would take them back this time or at least offer them some capital for investment.
After all, the Southstream Lanes' business had expanded internationally, and Lane Holdings would take flight if they gave so much as a trickle.
On the other hand, it would be a pipe dream if Jade's trip here proved unpleasant!
Still, Jade snapped grumpily, "How should I know who it was?!"
