As Gina saw that her insults were pointless, she strode up and shoved at Frank, "Get out of here!Helen's not home—your shouting doesn't mean a thing!"

Frank simply braced against her meek fists and scratching as he kept shouting into Lane Manor."Helen! I'll definitely crash your wedding and take you with me—whether you like it or not! I'malways that stubborn and impulsive, and nobody can stop me! Not your family, not Chaz Graves...Not even the Lionhearts!"

Having said his part, Frank quietly waited for Helen to respond.

However, there was only silence aside from Gina's shrieking and cursing.

Still, it did not discourage Frank.

Then, just as he was about to leave, the doors opened and Helen strode out in her pajamas.

Gina turned frantic when she saw her. "What are you doing, Helen?! You're marrying Chaz Gravessoon. For the sake of us Northstream Lanes, don't fall for his pretty face!"

"Mom," Helen said calmly and quietly. "Let me talk to him."

"No!" Gina summarily refused, snapping, "There's nothing to talk with someone as despicable ashim. Don't worry, I'll chase him away!"

Helen shook her head exasperatedly despite Gina's insistence. "There are things we need to be clearabout.”

"Fine. You have three minutes, and he leaves once you're done!"

Seeing that Helen was insistent, Gina sighed heavily.

She stood aside, folding her arms before her chest as she watched them.

After the wedding, they would be moving back to Southstream, as their family would return to themain family and live grandly.

This would be the last time Frank ever got to see her daughter!

Helen sighed lengthily in turn and leveled an impassive look at Frank, but her gaze was clearlyconflicted.

"I heard what you said," she told him.

"I get it now," Frank said solemnly. "Chaz Graves was threatening my life to coerce you, wasn't he?He's threatening to tell Titus Lionheart about me and Vicky."

Helen did a double take but shook her head. "That's not true. I don't know where you heard thatfrom, but I'm telling you—I love Chaz, and giving up Lane Holdings is proof of that. I've never feltthat way about you."

"It's all consensual—I'm not being coerced, so don't flatter yourself, Frank. We're never ever gettingback together.”

Even as she spoke, Helen felt the misery burning her heart.

She was assuredly compelled to marry Chaz now, as he had invited all of Riverton’s bigwigs to theirwedding, and Gina already accepted the Graves family's dowry. Even the Lionhearts and Soranoshad sent their people over.

As such, even if Frank found out the truth and tried to stop the wedding, there was no way hewould win against such overwhelming numbers.

And all she had done for this would be reduced to a joke.
