For all we know, FrankLawrence can really hold himself in a fight!" But even as she ranted, Gable was scowling on his knees.
He certainly had no idea-when he asked Jade about Frank, all Jade had to say about him was 'lowlifeex-husband'.
It was why when he was actually up against Frank, he treated Frank with insignificance.
Unbeknownst to him, 'lowlife ex-husband' was just Jade's opinion of Frank, and he was not a lowlife.
His spite flared even as Jade continued ranting, looking around at everyone. "What are Frank andHelen to us?! Nobodies-that's what they are! Even if we accept Helen back into our family, she isn'treally family, so how trustworthy can their words be?! Considering that she's drooling over becomingthe next head of the Lane family, we should really be thinking more about this!"

Lunaet her as hard as she could until she woke up. "Mom..." Luna was sobbing as soon as she sawher mother.
"It's alright, Mommy's here." Jade held her firmly in her arms.
As she did, Luna's eyes widened as Jade whispered something into her ear.
Then, pulling Luna to stand in front of everyone, Jade shouted loudly "Go on, Luna! Tell everyone thetruth. Did you call Helen and try to kill her with Uncle Clark and Uncle Gable?" "It's..." As everyoneturned to Luna, Luna was glancing at Helen and an impassive Frank, her eyes flashing viciously as shesnapped, "It's a lie! The whole thing was staged by Helen and Frank. They lured us to that place, andthen threatened us with violence!" Once she was finished, she buried her head in Jade's arms, afraid tolook Frank in the eye.
