Gina urged, "Hurry up already, Cindy! We can't stay here in Riverton... No, we can't stay in this country at all! We need to escape abroad, and we only have twenty minutes to make it to the airport!" "Coming!" Cindy exclaimed, carrying a pile of Helen's branded cosmetic products out of Helen's room and shoving everything into a suitcase.
When Gina saw that, she promptly snapped angrily, "Oh, just drop it, Cindy! How much are those cosmetic products worth anyway? Let's go!" "Have you bought our plane tickets, Aunt Gina?" "I did—I still have dozens of millions in savings, and with these treasures, we'd have enough money to survive abroad for a while." Despite what she said, anxiety was written all over Gina's face.

After all, judging from Helen's reaction, Gina knew she would not marry Chaz on this day.
And with that going up in smoke, the Southstream Lanes would never accept them, while the Graves family and the Lionhearts would pin the blon their family.
Gina was especially concerned about the Lionhearts, because if they pressed bland cafter them, they would be dead even before they knew it! Either way, they could not stay in Draconia, let alone Riverton! Gina could not care less about Helen either.
If Helen had made up her mind on eloping with that bastard Frank, she could face the consequences herself! As her mother, Gina had done all she could! a "Oh, this is killing me." Gina shook with sheer frustration.
She was so sure that she could return to the fold of the Northstream Lanes triumphant, to leapfrog up the pecking order and most importantly, to flex on Mason Lane for belittling her! She was not unreasonable—her daughter's engagement to Chaz was all thanks to her setting things that way! She just did not think that Helen would get cold feet, let alone run away with Frank! She had certainly lost more than what she bargained for—forget leapfrogging, she now had a target painted on her head! And when the Lionhearts ccalling, even the Southstream Lanes would suffer, let alone Gina hearself! Still, Gina could take comfort in the fact that the Graves and the Lionhearts would get rid of Frank for good.

Hell, there was a huge chance that Helen would change her mind if Frank was killed, and Gina would be able to return from abroad sooner. Everything would fall into place once more, with neither the Graves nor the Lionhearts pressing the issue.
However, even as Gina was busy fantasizing, Jade Zahn and her daughter Luna Lane stormed into Lane Manor with a group of bodyguards.
"Jade...?" Gina's heart skipped a beat since it had been a while since Jade showed up.
"We've all heard, and it's all your fault, you incompetent Northstream Lanes!" Jade's pudgy cheeks shook even as she slammed her palm on the table. " Do you call yourself a mother, Gina?! Your daughter got cold feet at the altar, insulting the Graves and the Lionhearts. Even us Southstream Lanes are now a laughing stock. And you think you could just run away without a care? Dream on!" "Jade. W-What are you doing?!" Gina kept a vice-like grip on her suitcase, refusing to let go even as Jade's bodyguards strode up to take it from her!
