Gina kept ranting, "Frank has put Helen in harm's way so many times, and she was almost disfiguredonce! If Mr. Graves can teach her a thing or two, she won't be so easily bullied!"

"That's for sure.” Chaz chuckled bitterly before asking Helen, "So? Are you free today?"

Helen was about to say no when she suddenly remembered how she had ended up being capturedso many times and how Frank had to save her.

She somehow also had a mental image of Vicky Turnbull smiling at her gleefully.

She heard that Vicky used to be a martial elite but lost her cultivation due to illness. But consideringVicky had made a full recovery, it was just a matter of time before she would regain her cultivation.The more Helen thought about it, the more unsettled she was.

And being as ambitious as she was, she nodded solemnly at Chaz. "I'm interested. I hope you couldteach me a thing or two—that way, if I'm in danger again, I wouldn't have to be a burden to..."Helen was about to say Frank but held back when she saw the looks everyone—especially hermother—was giving her.

"Everyone," she finished, even though she kept thinking of a towering man who could provide her asense of security.

"That's not a problem.” Chaz was delighted and immediately got her into his Mercedes, then droveoff.

Gina watched as they drove off and beamed happily at Jade. "See? If Helen manages to marry Mr.Graves, then..."

"Hmph." Jade snorted, still holding her in contempt.

Still, after musing to herself for a while, she said reluctantly, "Your family isn't entirely worthless ifyou could arrange a strategic marriage with the Graves family. If Luna is fully cured as well, Iwouldn't mind putting in a good word with Mark Lane."

"Oh, thank you so much!" Gina exclaimed, reaching out for Jade's hand only for Jade to avoid her.Even so, she was grinning from ear to ear.

"What about me, Aunt Jade? Can't you arrange a nice job for me too?"

Peter suddenly appeared just then, causing Jade to jump.

Patting her chest to calm herself down, Jade snapped, "You're scum! Just suck up to your sister'sconnections already!"

"Oh, okay." Peter was grinning happily, not offended at all from being called scum

After all, once his sister married Chaz, he would be destined for power and riches.

"I'm going now, Mom—I have to help Helen. The family's future depends on her!" Peter said andhurried after Helen and Chaz.

"Oh, my son is getting smarter every day." Gina nodded in approval.

At Skywater Bay, Frank had just arrived downstairs after his daily training.

Hearing his phone ring, he picked it up to replace that it was Henry calling.

"What's up, Gramps?" he asked, though he already had an idea of what Henry was about to say.

To no surprise, Henry sighed lengthly. "Oh, Frank... I'm so embarrassed..."
