It took a long while for Helen to come to her senses. “Cindy? When did you come back to
the country?”
Cindy was supposedly studying abroad and would only return next year.
Still, Cindy flashed a sweet smile right then, “Actually, I recently started a company with a
partner, and we’re aiming to get into the Riverton market. You have to help me out, Helen
business is booming in Lane Holdings, so you can’t forget about the rest of us.”
“Oh, what are you saying?” Gina exclaimed. “If you want to start a business, Helen can let
you manage one of our subsidiaries. Why partner with others?”
“Mom.” Helen quickly cut her short. “Cindy must have her own plans since she’s
partnering with friends.”
Lane Holdings was short on money themselves, and giving away a subsidiary right now

her mother got with her family, but she had to think for herself too!
Thankfully, Cindy shook her head. “That’s alright, Aunt Gina. I’m doing this on my own this
time.”
Helen breathed a sigh of relief, while Gina gave Cindy a huge thumbs up. “You really are
born a Zonda. Outstanding!”
Still, Cindy sat down beside Gina, linking arms with her as she purred, “Actually, I have a
favor to ask…”
“Oh?” What could it be?” Gina asked in curiosity, feeling plenty helpful just then.
After all, Greg was awash with tears as he came to her yesterday, returning the forty
million dollars he conned off her.
She even slapped him a few times for good measure.
“I’m planning to draw an investment from the Salazars,” Cindy said mysteriously. “I’ve
heard that their heiress had been taking the herb called panacea polypore for
nourishment. That’s why I’d like to buy one and present it to her as a gift.”
Helen frowned. “Aren’t the Salazars based in Sunny City? What does your company have
to do with them if you’re aiming for the Riverton market?”
“Honestly, are you really the CEO of Lane Holdings? Don’t you know that much?” Cindy
scoffed, rolling her eyes at Helen before puffing her chest proudly as she announced, “The
Salazars are planning a venture into the Riverton market, and Ms. Salazar herself holds
the shares. They have also developed the Beauty Pill–no lady would miss out on that
action. Actually, do you want me to get you a couple?”
“No thanks,” Helen quickly said.
Cindy rolled her eyes again before tugging on Gina’s arm, “Aunt Gina, I’ve actually found
where we could buy a panacea polypore. Come with me later, alright?”
Gina thought about it, but how much would a panacea polypore cost anyway?

And since she held seniority, she should behave accordingly.
Nodding right then, she said, “How could I ever say no to you, dear? Don’t worry–I’ll
definitely buy it for you.”
Cindy gave her a huge smooch right then. “You’re the best, Aunt Gina.”
Though Helen was actually not interested in going, she had to drive them since she could
not win against her mother’s insistence.
As Helen, Gina and Cindy all headed to Vintagers at noon, Frank and Kenny arrived soon
after. Kenny led Frank to a rather modest store, approaching the front desk worker. “Let’s
see that panacea polypore you have. We’re buying it.”
“What?” The worker did a double take and said hesitantly, “A–Actually, you’re a little late
for that, sir… There were three women who arrived earlier, asking to buy it. They’ve
already gone with Mr. Wicker to get it from the back…”
“What?!” Kenny exclaimed in shock, regretting not placing a deposit earlier.
