The bodyguards violently snatched Gina and Cindy's suitcases from their grasp before shoving them to the floor and restraining them.
"Take them away!" Jade bellowed, and the bodyguards carried them away.
Then, Jade's eyes lingered on the suitcases filled to the brim with jewelry before ordering to have all of it carried to her.

She thought Gina would be hsince she saw the car she had bought for her outside, only to walk through the front door to find everything a mess.
Forget Gina and Cindy—none of the maids on the payroll were in sight.
Helen felt a foreboding sensation right then—despite her misgivings toward Gina, Gina was still her mother and Helen was immediately concerned for her safety.
"What's this?" Burt murmured as he picked up two pieces of papers off the floor.
Helen's expression stiffened as she took them from Burt, and her disappointment soon showed.
Flight tickets for Gina and Cindy—and the plane must have left just now.
After Helen spurned Chaz at the altar, they were clearly afraid that the Graves and the Lionhearts would cafter them. They were ready to head abroad and were clearly in a hurry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Heh..." Helen sneered. She could not have felt more disgpointment towards Gina just then.
That was when Burt's phone suddenly started ringing, and he nodded at Helen as he answered. "It's Mr.
Lawrence." "How is he? D-Did he make it out?" Helen's fingers dug into the couch even as she asked that—Frank's safety was her top priority now.
"Yeah, uh-huh." Burt nodded repeatedly, ignoring her for a moment.
Then, he hung up, breathed a sigh of relief before turning toward Helen with a smile. "Don't worry—Mr. Lawrence was not in danger at all. Titus Lionheart has conceded, while the Graves family and Neil Turnbull have been punished accordingly. Mr. Lawrence himself will soon be here as well, so don't worry." At Burt's words, Helen reclined limply against her couch as she sighed lengthily.
| guess we don't have to flee Riverton now..." she murmured before suddenly springing to her feet.
She had just realized what Burt had actually said and was gaping at him in shock. "What was that? Did | hear that right? T-Titus Lionheart conceded?" "Yes, you heardright." Burt smiled. "Titus Lionheart conceded to Mr. Lawrence. He declared in front of Riverton's bigwigs that he was cutting ties with the Graves family, and that he would not intervene in the dispute between Frank and the Graves and the Soranos. In short, Mr. Lawrence succeeded.” Burt's explanation only left Helen in further disbelief, as if she were caught in a dream.
The Lionhearts of Morhen were a dynasty of unparalleled power—why would any of them concede to sinsignificant brat like Frank?!
