Jade smiled. "Oh, what are you saying? We're family—if you need anything, just ask. I'll definitelyhelp however I can.”

Henry nodded in satisfaction. "Helen's husband was arrested, and I'm hoping you would use yourSouthstream contacts to bail him out.”

Jade promptly frowned at Helen—she did not need imagination to tell that the brat had askedHenry to persuade her.

After a long thought, she began, "It's not like I don't want to help, but he has broken the country'slaws—how am I supposed to help?”

"I know Frank," Henry quickly said. "He's definitely being framed. Just get him out, and then we'llproperly investigate the issue.”

Helen dropped to her knees in front of Jade too, pleading, "Please, Aunt Jade. I'm begging you tosave Frank."

When she was told that Burt refused to listen to Vicky, she was panicking since she could not thinkof anyone else who would bail Frank out.

And when Henry saw Helen kneel, he growled, "You can just make a call and resolve this, Jade. Ordo you want me to kneel too?"

Jade flinched. "Are you crazy?"

She could understand Helen kneeling since Frank was her ex-husband, but did Henry have to go sofar for him too?!

"I will if anything happens to Frank," Henry replied.

Jade inhaled deeply and wheeled on Helen. "I'm sure you understand that there's a huge grudgebetween me and Frank. I can help, but he must apologize personally.”

"Not a problem—I'll definitely persuade him to do it." Helen agreed to it without hesitation.

She believed Frank would definitely be grateful to Jade anyway, and things would calm downbetween them—it would be even better if Frank treated Luna.

Jade whipped out her phone and sent Helen a number, leaving her confused. "What's this?"

"Chaz Graves’ number. Call him—he'll deal with this," Jade replied.

"Chaz has influence in Riverton?" Helen exclaimed in shock, remembering Chaz right then.

The Graves were one of Southstream's four families, and Helen remembered how she stuck out likea sore thumb when she visited the Southstream Lanes’ residence as a child.

She also became friends with Chaz at the time, though Helen rarely visited the Southstream Laneslater on, and they rarely kept in touch.

Jade chuckled coolly. "Why not? He's the chief of Seaham Martial Artists’ Association, and hisjurisdiction extends over every martial artist in Riverton, Seaham, and Southdam. His family businessis spread over all three states as well.”

"Really? That's amazing!" Helen breathed a long sigh of relief, convinced that Frank was saved.

She quickly stepped out to the hallway to call Chaz, and she quickly introduced herself when Chazanswered.

Chaz was surprised to receive her call.

Hearing that she was asking her to bail someone out, he certainly could not refuse such a frivolousrequest.

Naturally, he did not promise anything and instead said, "Let's meet up for dinner, Helen. It's been awhile—I've missed you, and we can discuss anything when we meet."
