It took a long while for Helen toe to her senses. “Cindy? When did youe back to the country?”


    Cindy was supposedly studying abroad and would only return next year.


    Still, Cindy shed a sweet smile right then, “Actually, I recently started apany with a partner, and


    we’re aiming to get into the Riverton market. You have to help me out, Helen business is booming in


    Lane Holdings, so you can’t forget about the rest of us.”


    “Oh, what are you saying?” Gina eximed. “If you want to start a business, Helen can let you manage


    one of our subsidiaries. Why partner with others?”


    “Mom.” Helen quickly cut her short. “Cindy must have her own ns since she’s partnering with


    friends.”


    Lane Holdings was short on money themselves, and giving away a subsidiary right now was no


    different from cutting off a piece of themselves. Moreover, Helen knew how vain her mother got with


    her family, but she had to think for herself too!


    Thankfully, Cindy shook her head. “That’s alright, Aunt Gina. I’m doing this on my own this time.”


    Helen breathed a sigh of relief, while Gina gave Cindy a huge thumbs up. “You really are born a Zonda.


    Outstanding!”


    Still, Cindy sat down beside Gina, linking arms with her as she purred, “Actually, I have a favor to


    ask…”


    “Oh?” What could it be?” Gina asked in curiosity, feeling plenty helpful just then.


    After all, Greg was awash with tears as he came to her yesterday, returning the forty million dors he


    conned off her.


    She even pped him a few times for good measure.


    “I’m nning to draw an investment from the Szars,” Cindy said mysteriously. “I’ve heard that their


    heiress had been taking the herb called panacea polypore for nourishment. That’s why I’d like to buy


    one and present it to her as a gift.”


    Helen frowned. “Aren’t the Szars based in Sunny City? What does yourpany have to do with


    them if you’re aiming for the Riverton market?”


    “Honestly, are you really the CEO of Lane Holdings? Don’t you know that much?” Cindy scoffed, rolling


    her eyes at Helen before puffing her chest proudly as she announced, “The Szars are nning a


    venture into the Riverton market, and Ms. Szar herself holds the shares. They have also developed


    the Beauty Pill–nody would miss out on that action. Actually, do you want me to get you a couple?”


    “No thanks,” Helen quickly said.


    Cindy rolled her eyes again before tugging on Gina’s arm, “Aunt Gina, I’ve actually found where we


    could buy a panacea polypore. Come with meter, alright?”

    Gina thought about it, but how much would a panacea polypore cost anyway?


    And since she held seniority, she should behave ordingly.


    Nodding right then, she said, “How could I ever say no to you, dear? Don’t worry–I’ll definitely buy it for


    you.”


    Cindy gave her a huge smooch right then. “You’re the best, Aunt Gina.”


    Though Helen was actually not interested in going, she had to drive them since she could not win


    against her mother’s insistence.


    As Helen, Gina and Cindy all headed to Vintagers at noon, Frank and Kenny arrived soon after. Kenny


    led Frank to a rather modest store, approaching the front desk worker. “Let’s see that panacea


    polypore you have. We’re buying it.”


    “What?” The worker did a double take and said hesitantly, “A–Actually, you’re a littlete for that, sir…


    There were three women who arrived earlier, asking to buy it. They’ve already gone with Mr. Wicker to


    get it from the back…”


    “What?!” Kenny eximed in shock, regretting not cing a deposit earlier.
