However, Helen's ears burned at those words as she only found irony in them
True love? Loyalty? All lies.
Chaz was clearly coercing her and using her to control the Lane family.
She suddenly found herself weary and wanting nothing more than to throw away all the burdens
weighing down on her shoulders.
At the same time, she could not help wondering to herself if Frank would come to save her, and she
was suddenly caught in her fantasies...
What if Frank rallied all the bigwigs of Riverton? Would she not be able to follow her heart and escape

It was not until Gina stepped up and shoved Helen that she came to her senses and realized that she

and never came.
On the other hand, Chaz nodded at his father, Wyll Graves.
"Well done, son." Wyll was rubbing his chin in approval of his son, since Chaz certainly had him beat in
cunningness.
"Oh, this is so wonderful."
Gina was exceedingly pleased as well, and she was more excited than anyone that Helen was being
