NovelEnglishThey could not afford to let slip such a grand opportunity—what was a little offense compared to a billion-dollar company?! However, Helen shook her head at Gina's look of excitement.
Still, she picked up the teacup, even shaking her head at Frank so that he would not interfere.
Frank remained impassive as he backed away, his eyes fixed on Fleur and leaving her annoyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Helen was about to give her the teacup, Fleur folded her arms before her chest, refusing to take it.
Slamming a hand on the agreement on the table, she pointed at Frank and snapped coldly, "If you want this, splash the tea at his face!" Helen froze at Fleur's words and turned toward Frank, who was folding his arms before his chest and keeping quiet.
This was clearly retaliation and harassment of Helen as well! "What are you waiting for, Helen?!" Gina cried in agitation—she could take the teacup and splash Frank herself right then! "That's his just deserts for disrespecting an elder. Don't you know what's more important? A billion- dollar company, Helen!" Helen was left bracing herself against everyone's stares and her mother's enthusiastic persuasion.
Luna was leering at her smugly in turn.
So what if Helen was a candidate for the next head of the Lane family? So what if Frank outclassed Titus Lionheart?! They were trampling all over Helen and Frank effortlessly, and they could not say a word in turn! "Do it!" Gina was certainly disappointed in Helen rem Emory her firmly toward Frank.
"Frank..." Helen looked up, trouble.
“Hmph.” Frank never said a word, closing his eyes and clearly waiting for Helen to splash him.
"Do it, or you're never getting this agreement!" Fleur shrieked.

She could not get up, however, and could only throw her cane at Helen, though Frank knocked it away with his palm.
"You bitch!" Jade was shaking even as she wiped the tea off her face, pointing and bellowing at Helen, "Madam Lang was being kind to you and giving you a way out, but you had to behave so tactlessly! Get out! You're now no longer a part of our family!" "You're all a bunch of primitive savages," Luna snapped as she wiped her clothes as well. "You'd never becthe next head of the Lane family!" "What are you doing?!" Gina cried, her daughter's behavior leaving her horrified.
Still, indescribable grief soon struck her as she pointed at Frank. "Are you really giving up on a billion- dollar investment company just to side with him?! What does he even have going for him?!" "Shut up, Mom." Helen snapped as she turned toward Gina, having had enough.
Gina was left gaping—was this still her daughter Helen?! When did she becso unreasonable, just like a savage?!
