"O-Okay, I''ll do it right away," Gina eximed and promptly poured another cup of tea, handing it to


    Helen and giving her a look.


    Helen clenched her knuckles, ready to refuse serving it to Fleur again, when she remembered Vicky.


    Even now, the difference between them was huge—bing the head of the Lane family was Helen''s


    only way to turn the tables against Vicky.


    As Helen prepared to reach out and take the tea cup, Frank, who already had enough, snatched the


    cup off her hands.


    Gina did a double take but was soon incensed. "What are you doing, Frank?!"


    Was he going to mess up yet another monumental opportunity for her?!


    If he upset Fleur, forget about Helen bing the next head of the Lane family—they would be exiled


    again!


    "Frank..." Helen was murmuring.


    She certainly knew that Frank had enough and was saving her from further misery.


    Still, just as everyone was left hesitating, Frank snorted as he briskly flung the tea at Fleur''s face.


    "Argh!" Fleur shrieked as the brown tea sshed all over her, melting her thick makeup instantly.


    "Have you gone crazy?!" Gina sprant to her feet as if jolted, snapping at Frank while bringing a towel to


    wipe Fleur''s face.


    On the other hand, Jade was afraid of Frank''s connections but yelled at him anyway, "This is our


    family''s business! You don''t get to meddle!"


    "That''s right!" Luna screamed as well. "You and Helen have yet to remarry, and that means you''re not


    family! You have no ce here!"


    Frank remained perfectly calm as he put the teacup on the table, a stark contrast to the others in the


    room.


    Sneering, he asked, "Family business? I don''t know about that, but Madam Lang there was saying it


    burns, so I was just testing it."


    Turning toward Fleur even as she quivered with rage, Frank shook his head. "I guess it didn''t burn, or


    you''d be on your feet—don''t you think? It''s the same tea from the same teapot, so I wonder who''s the


    liar."


    Fleur shook in fury even as she met his cool eyes.


    Her face still dripping wet, she suddenly shoved Gina away as she whipped out a document and


    mmed it on the table.


    "Do you know what this is?!" she snapped in a frenzy, ring viciously at Helen. "It''s the proof of your


    candidacy that the wretched Mark Lane passed to me! Our family owns a billion-dor investment


    company in Southdam, and he was going to appoint you as CEO. But now?!"


    Wheeling on Frank venomously, she sneered, "I changed my mind because of your dear husband! I''d


    rather throw it away than pass it to you!"


    Gina started hyperventting at Fleur''s words. "A billion-dor investmentpany?!"


    If Helen did be CEO, Gina would be rich and powerful as she had always dreamt of!

    Frank''s Talnam ruby certainly dulled inparison!


    "Go on, Helen! Serve Madam Lang tea!" Gina eximed in such a thrill that she almost broke her


    voice.
