Helen was clearly aware of who got her into this trouble.

Just yesterday, when Peter returned, she thought for a moment that unlike Cindy, she could afford to arrange a job for him, only for him to sell her out in the blink of an eye.

"I would have gutted you if you weren't my brother!" Helen bellowed.

Peter could only cringe into himself, hanging his head.

Frank had never seen Helen being that upset, and was about to reach out to comfort her... only for her to throw herself into his arms and bawling, "Why, Frank?! Why is my family like this...?"

"It's alright. I'm here." Frank patted her on the back, carefully comforting her.

"I-I'm sorry, sis. I had no choice..." Peter stammered just then.

"Forget it. I don't need your explanation," Helen snapped, a girlboss as always as she quickly composed herself, wiping away her tears.

Waving Peter away, she sighed. "You can stay in Riverton like Cindy. Don't ever come to Zamri-I don't want to see any of you here."

"But..."

Peter scratched his head as he stammered. "I wasn't lying, sis. Mom did come to Zamri, and she's hurt-"

"What?!"

Helen snapped. "Are you still trying to lie to me, Peter?!"

"What's going on here?" Frank asked, left confused by their exchange.

"Urgh..."

Helen sighed as she shot Peter a cold glare before turning to Frank and explaining, "I lost my phone last night... but it turns out that Peter stole it. He gave it to Larry Jameson of Zomber Group, who planned to steal Lanecorp corporate secrets."

Even as Peter lowered his head further, Helen could barely repress the rage in her voice as she rasped, "Then, this morning, he came to me and said Gina was hurt and in the hospital. I didn't think about it too much and rushed to the hospital immediately, but was intercepted and abducted by Larry."

Laughing coolly, Helen continued, "I kept the car doors locked while urging Peter to call you... but as it turns out, he was with Larry! It was their conspiracy all along, meant to force me to sign over my shares." "Sis... Can we stop talking about it?"

Peter smiled awkwardly. "I mean, Larry really forced me into this, but I got revenge for you—"

"Revenge?!"

Helen was taken aback but quickly pressed, "What did you do to Larry?!"

"I killed him!" Peter grinned viciously. "He set me up and kidnapped my sister! It's only right that I killed him!"

"You... You're full of it!"

Helen, however, was on the verge of tears. "Larry's Zomber Group is a family business, and his younger brother just left. If he knew you killed Larry, he would attack Lanecorp, even if it means he goes down swinging!"

"What?! He has a brother?!" Peter was dumbstruck.

He thought he was safe after he killed Larry... But it turned out that Larry had a brother!
