NovelEnglishWas Gina really that brainless to ask Frank to go to Southstream and apologize, and for someone as lowly as Fleur?! If he was really forced to visit them, it would not be an apology—Frank would be threatening the Southstream Lanes instead, as he would not be satisfied until Helen was appointed the head of the Lane family.
Once it was pushed through, every clique in the family would get upset, and they would go their separate ways when they could have coexisted peacefully.

"Listen up, Helen—there's this farm my father has been investing in," he explained. "He personally loves it and often hires contractors to green it. However, the farm itself is inflicting monetary losses, amounting up to the millions now. We can't keep giving handouts for a business even if the old man loves it, so he's been planning to sell it.
"As such, if you can take over that farm and make the business boom, I'm sure my father would think highly of you—you might even be given that billion-dollar investment company!"

Helen sighed dejectedly right then, her gaze gloomy as she snapped, "You're being impulsive, Frank! Where would we get so much money? Lane Holdings especially doesn't have money to spare with the new factory's precision machinery... No, we wouldn't have that much money anyway!"
