Jade spat at Winter right then, "Frank isn't like that?! What, would I use my daughter to slanderscum like him?!"

At the same time, Carol scrambled to shield Winter while continuing to smile at the angry mob."Please, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here—Mr. Lawrence isn't like that. We'll call him rightnow, and I'm sure he can clear up this misunderstanding.”

"You'd better hurry, or I'm cutting this bitch's face!" Jade growled through her teeth as she whippedout a switchblade, brandishing it in front of Carol and her daughter.

"O-Of course.” Carol wiped the blood off her lips and quickly urged Winter, "Go on, call Mr.Lawrence right now."

"Mom..."

"Just hurry. Don't you trust him?" Carol asked resolutely, watching the angry mob closely.

"Yeah..." Though Winter certainly would not doubt Frank, she did not want to bother him.

But seeing that her mother was determined, she took out her phone to call Frank's number.

While she did, Cindy and her boyfriend Hughie strode into the hilltop mansion.

"Tut, tut.” Cindy clicked her tongue as she looked around. "Vicky Turnbull is really sparing noexpense on her boy toy! This is so much better than Lane Manor."

Hughie's eyes flashed with jealousy, but he had his pride too. "Hmph. This is nothing—I'll buy youan even better place.”

"Oh, that smells so good.” Cindy then drifted to the dining room to replace the table covered inscrumptious dishes.

Carol's cooking was certainly exquisite, and Cindy could not resist grabbing some smoked beef andstuffing it into her mouth.

"Oh, this is so much better than the crap the Lane Manor cooks can come up with." She sighed asshe ate and suddenly noticed the familiar lunchbox where the meat was placed.

"Hold on... What's this?" She rubbed her eyes, and realized upon a closer look that it was one ofLane Manor's custom lunchboxes.

It was only ever used in the manor and never brought outside!

"No way..." Cindy did a double take before knocking all the dishes off the table and picking up oneof the lunchboxes.

Gina frowned when she found Cindy striding toward her angrily with a lunchbox in hand. "What'swrong, Cindy?"

"See for yourself!" Cindy snapped and threw the lunchbox in front of Carol.

When Gina saw the lunchbox labels, she was immediately furious.

Leaping up and grabbing Carol by the collar, she spat, "Where did you get the lunchbox?!""What...?" Carol was stunned—how would she know?

She turned to Winter, who was still trying to call Frank.

Winter paused, staring at the lunchbox before frowning. "Helen brought it. She always comes tomake breakfast for me and Frank."

"You're lying!" Gina was even more furious at that and slapped Winter viciously again. "My daughterhas already divorced him! She'd never cook for him—he has no right!"
