Chris‘ eyes were evasive even as he quickly came up with another excuse. “I have no connection with


    Vi–I bought that red diamond ne! She wanted it too, but I didn’t give in, so she bore a grudge


    over that!”


    The Lanes were all trading nces, not sure who to believe with Frank and Chris arguing.


    Frank turned toward Cindy just then and said, “Why don’t you tell us. Is the ne Vi’s or Chris‘?”


    Cindy did not think that Frank would turn his crosshairs on her.


    At that moment, what she said would decide what the Lanes would believe, and she certainly knew the


    truth. After all, during the party, Vi wore a blue diamond ne with a design identical to Chris‘ red


    diamond ne.


    However, if she told the truth, she would upset Chris… And Frank was not going to thank her


    anyway.


    And considering all the grievances she harbored toward Frank, helping Chris and getting in his good


    graces was much more ideal.


    “O–Of course it’s Mr. Steiner’s,” she said. “Ms. Szar is just jealous.”


    Frank frowned at her words, his eyes shing murderously. “Still lying, are you?”


    “Ahhh!!!”


    Knowing how strong Frank was, Cindy screamed as soon as Frank rushed toward her, hiding behind


    Gina as she cried, “Help me, Aunt Gina!”


    “Stop!” Gina bellowed as she red at Frank. “How dare youy a finger on my family!”


    “You’re just jealous, kid.” Chrisughed coolly and rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit Frank. ” Hating me


    just because Mrs. Lane likes me better, and now, you’re trying to hurt Cindy too. I won’t allow such


    behavior!”


    Peter, however, quickly stopped Chris. “Calm down, Mr. Steiner. Don’t stoop to that lowlife’s level.”


    In reality, he was afraid that Chris would be beaten to a pulp, especially when Chris was the only


    person who could bail out his family now.


    “Enough!” Helen suddenly bellowed, stopping all of them.


    “Helen! Get him out of here already!” Cindy promptly cried.


    Helen, however, simply stared at them, not knowing who to believe.


    Despite having doubts about Chris‘ ims, she did not really believe Frank either.

    As such, she did not chase anyone out, although she was not particrly friendly either.” Argue all you


    want, but do it outside.”


    And with those words, she turned and headed to her study.


    “Hmph.” Chris snorted, folding his arms before his chest. “I’ll let this slide for Helen’s sake.”


    “It’s alright, Mr. Steiner. Don’t stoop to his level,” Gina said as she pulled Chris along to the drawing


    room.


    Henry sighed.


    As the only one around who trusted Frank unconditionally, he said, “I’m so sorry. that you had to put up


    with this, Frank.”


    “What are you saying?” Frank smiled, but his words were solemn. “Your troubles are mine- I’d be dead


    if not for you back then.”


    “Don’t mention it… But I must ask, can we get through this?” Henry asked tentatively.


    Frank’s phone suddenly started ringing.


    Frank nced at it to see that it was Donald Szar calling, and he chuckled. “Don’t worry. Vi will


    apologize to Helen soon.”
