The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu -
Chapter 520
Aria glared at Jean as she left and shrieked, "Well, we're no longer friends now!"
Jean did not look back but raised her hand over her head to give Aria the middle finger.
"Alright, stop drawing attention already.” Frank intercepted Aria and quickly left Grande Square as acrowd looked on.
Aria's scowl only faded after Frank bought her a ten million dollar diamond necklace.
She was still obsessing over the green diamond pendant that Frank gave Winter all those days andwanted everything Winter had too!
Henry lay in a casket within Lane Manor.
Helen, wearing a black dress with a white flower brooch, was staring at it fixedly.
Gina, Chaz Graves, and everyone else tried to move her, but she refused to budge.
Chaz was even smiling as he dropped to a crouch beside her. "Don't worry, Helen. I've asked my dadto invite every Riverton bigwig to give your grandfather a proper send off. I'm sure he can rest inpeace to see them here."
Gina's eyes lit up at his words. "You really are thoughtful, Mr. Graves! Go on, Helen—thank himalready!”
"Thanks," Helen said numbly and emotionlessly.
Chaz scowled and swore under his breath, "I tried playing nice, bitch.”
Did she even know the lengths he had gone through to ask his father for such a favor, and all hegot was that apathetic thanks?
"Mr. Gerald Simmons, the Chief of General Affairs, has arrived!" a receptionist announced just then."What? When did the Lanes get that friendly with Gerald Simmons?"
The small and medium-sized enterprise owners were left aghast, watching as Gerald led his sonTidus inside amid everyone's warm greetings.
"Oh, it's the honor of a lifetime to have you here, Mr. Simmons.” Gina promptly approached Geraldwith a fawning smile, even shooting Helen looks.
Helen, however, still did not move.
Gerald completely ignored Gina in turn. Walking straight to Henry's casket with a grim face, he helda minute of silent mourning.
Then, walking up to Helen, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "My condolences.”
Helen looked up and nodded. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Simmons."
"It's only right that I do.” Gerald nodded in turn and sighed. "Frank really admired him, even gettinga painting from me for his birthday. You never know what's coming, I guess.”
"Please take a seat." Chaz came up to Gerald after waiting for the right moment.
Gerald glanced at him before nodding impressively as he and his son stepped away from the casket."Robert Quill, governor of Riverton!"
"What?! First the CGA, and now the governor? Are the Lanes really that well-connected?!"
The small business owners were even more shocked at that—they had never heard anything aboutthe Lanes having so many friends in high places!
"Mr. Tim Yates, chief of the Riverton commerce guild!"
"Kenny Sparks, owner of Skyblade Dojo!"
