Seeing the security guards sitting among the guests get to their feet, Helen
looked so nervous that she could cry. "Why did you come, Frank? You have to
leave before the Graves family's guards come for you!"
"Leave?" Frank smiled. "Then I will bring you along with me."
"You're still joking around now?!" Helen could cry as she stamped her feet in
frustration.
"I'm not joking," Frank said, holding her gaze as his expression turned solemn. "I
know that Chaz forced you into marrying him, by threatening my life at that.”
The room was left in an uproar at Frank's words, as Chaz's fabricated persona of
a devoted lover crumbled.
So Helen was coerced by Chaz into this wedding when she did not want to marry
him?!
There was not one soul who didn't like gossip, especially the drama and intrigue
involving rich and powerful families.
Even as the guests were sent abuzz with excitement and listened attentively for
more juicy details, Helen shook her head and smiled miserably.
"So what if he did, Frank?" she sobbed. "I know you're strong and you have Vicky
Turnbull's support, but can you defeat ten, or even a hundred? Can Vicky protect
you if the Lionhearts come after you? And you've now insulted the Graves family.
If they work with the other top families of Southstream... Don't you know that
you're already helpless?!"
"Shush." Frank put a finger on her lips to stop her from talking and held her gaze.
"Forget our three- year marriage—have I ever lied to you, even after our
divorce?"
Helen wanted to lie but ultimately admitted, "No."
"Then trust me this one time!" Frank said, holding out a hand. "I can't offer
flowery words or promise you anything, but I'm now standing right here and
asking if you'll come with me, Helen."
Helen was silent at that.
She looked around her.
Chaz was barely repressing his rage, while Gina was charging toward them.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The Graves family's security guards were running at them, their weapons poised.
The Lionhearts' bodyguards did the same, under orders from Wilbur Lionheart.

What about Gina, Cindy, and the family whom her grandfather left in her care?
"Grandfather..." Helen suddenly remembered the will that Henry Lane wrote for
her.
