Henry was sitting out on the balcony, staring at the downpour and lightning storm in the


    distance.


    "Grandpa...?"

    Helen called out again, finally bringing Henry to his senses.


    He turned and forced a smile. "Oh, Helen. What are you doing? Shouldn''t you be having dinner


    with your mother and the others?"


    Helen was speechless as she saw that her grandfather had grown more wrinkles over what


    happened yesterday, and she simply dropped to her knees beside him.


    "Oh, Helen." Henry pulled her into his arms and tousled her hair as he groaned in pain. "Frank


    is such a wonderful kid. Why can''t any of you see that?"


    "I know." Helen sobbed. "But he''s so proud and stubborn. I told him to thank Mr. Graves, but he


    had to refuse, though Mr. Graves saved his life!"


    "Mr. Graves? As in Chaz Graves?!" Henry did a double take and smacked himself on the forehead.


    "Oh, Helen—you''re such a fool!"


    "Grandpa.?"


    Henry sighed in disappointment. "Haven''t you been deceived enough? Gina and Peter are both too


    stupid to see the truth, and you''re no different? You''ve been married to Frank for three years, and you


    still don''t understand his character? Has he ever been proud or stubborn? No. You''re the proud and


    stubborn one, Helen!"


    Helen was stunned by Henry''s words, and she remembered the misery and frustration in Frank''s eyes


    every time she ndered him.


    And just this afternoon, she also saw apathy.


    Henry sighed as he struck himself again. "Silly girl—you have to reconcile with Frank right now, or your


    mother and brother will end up driving him against us! Nothing can save us when that happens!"


    "Yes, Grandpa!" Helen sprang to her feet, wiping away her tears as her expression became


    determined.


    "Good. As long as you understand that, we still stand a chance. Go—"


    Before Henry could finish, however, a thunderous bellow resounded from outside Lane Manor.


    "Gina Zonda! Come out and face me!!!"


    Helen froze at the bellow, while Henry closed his eyes in despair. "Oh, it''s over. It''s over for our family."


    "Don''t worry, Grandpa. I''ll handle this." Helen quickly came to her senses, picking up her coat as she

    rushed downstairs without another word.


    Jade, Gina, and everyone else were on their feet too, with Gina growling furiously, "Who does


    he think he is? He came here, unrepentant and even pompously calling me by name?!"


    Jade spotted Helen rushing downstairs as well, and snapped, "Just look at your ex-husband,


    Helen! He molested my daughter, and this is how he apologizes?"


    Cindy turned to Hughie in turn. "Are you friends here yet?"


    "Don''t worry," Hughie grinned. "They''re all professionals—they have the entire Lane Manor


    covered already. Frank isn''t getting away now that he''s here!"


    "You''re the best." Gina smiled gleefully before turning to Helen. "Where do you think you''re


    going?"
