As his blood-curdling scream rang, Gable Lane was sent flying crashing through the glass wall and down Lanecorp Tower.
"Frank Lawrence!"
Fleur was furious to see Frank would actually kill in broad daylight, but before she could say another word, Frank wheeled on her
with a sinister glare, leaving her flinching.
"Insolence!"
That was when the elderly woman who had been standing by Fleur all this while strode up.
While she had been calm andposed before, she was now glaring coldly at Frank as she snapped, "How dare you murder a
member of the Lane family right in front of me!"

"And who are you?" Frank asked, though he had an idea given how the woman carried with authority, as if she was above the rest.
Fleur quickly snapped at Frank, "She's Yora Yimmel, my dear sister and the matriarch of the Lane family!"
"Yora Yimmel?"
Frank did a double take—he had never heard that nbefore, but 'matriarch of the Lane family’ was not really hard to place.
Helen flinched in turn, because Yora was Mark Lane's wife and Helen's granduncle.
She was also the direct heiress of the Yimmels of Bralog, and even Mark himself had to show her due deference.
In recent years, she had been staying with her birth family in Bralog due to unmentioned circumstances, but she grew in power
and bectheir de facto matriarch.
One could certainly say that she was untouchable in the Lane family—even Mark could not pull rank against her, since the Yimmels
were more than powerful in contrast to the Lane family.
Her authority as matriarch certainly carried weight, and it was not surprising that Fleur was not really worried about anything.
"Madam Yimmer? What brings you here? You could have informedahead of time..."
Everyone in the office was left stunned right then.
"Madam Yimmer...?"
Helen was clutching her cheek—Yora had struck her so hard she was left leaning against her desk, dumbstruck.

She had never disrespected the matriarch, even sending gifts back when she was appointed head of the Lane family.
And now, when she finally showed up, she immediately slapped her in the face?!
"Get away from her!"
Frank glowered when he saw that Helen was attacked, glowering as he leapt up to shield Helen behind himself.
"Watch yourself! How dare you treat the matriarch with such insolence!" a man with a split-mustache barked as he strode in.
Mr. Noon had been keeping his presence hidden, but Frank immediately noticed that he was Ascendant rank as soon as he
appeared!
Before she finished, she saw the others inside and dropped to her knees audibly when she saw Yora.
