However, Fleur remained apathetic even as Gina begged, showing no intention of compromising.
Even Helen was afraid. "Frank, could there be a misunderstanding here...?"
She believed that Frank could not stand up against that many martial elites at the same time.
That was especially true with Gus, the man who stood above them whose very appearance made it obvious he was no pushover.
Was this really the end for them?
Helen could not help regretting her actions just then-if only she had known her place and refused Gavin's nomination of her as the next head of the Lane family. Obviously, Fleur did not want to see that happen and had come for her head.
However, it was while her thoughts strayed that Frank spoke beside her ear.
"Don't worry. No one will hurt you as long as I'm around."
"Yeah," Helen replied, slowly calming down as Frank's words instilled her with an indescribable sense of confidence.
Then, even as the Lane family bodyguards strode up at them, weapons in hand, she breathed a sigh before striding forward and bellowed, "I'm a candidate for the next head of the Lane family! Who dares to challenge me?!"
Her spirited shout left the Lane family bodyguards pausing-they were all trading looks, none of them advancing.
Seeing them stop, Fleur bellowed furiously right then, "You mooks! They're not a part of our family! Go! Kill them now!"
"Silence, Madam Lang!" Helen glared at Fleur viciously before turning toward the rest of the family. "Who died and made you king? Mark Lane? Or perhaps you're now ahead of the Lane family? Or maybe the next?!"
Helen's outburst left the Lane family bodyguards silenced again.
That was true!
Forget Fleur's constant need to assert her authority over the rest of the family-
she was now asking them to kill the next head of the Lane family!
Who would take responsibility if they actually went through with it?
And Helen could see the bodyguards' hesitation.

Helen shook her off, snapping coolly,
"If I become the next head of the

When Helen was finished, another spirited shout could be heard from upstairs.
