It took a long while for Helen to come to her senses. “Cindy? When did you come back to the country?”
Cindy was supposedly studying abroad and would only return next year.
Still, Cindy flashed a sweet smile right then, “Actually, I recently started a company with a partner, andwe’re aiming to get into the Riverton market. You have to help me out, Helen business is booming inLane Holdings, so you can’t forget about the rest of us.”
“Oh, what are you saying?” Gina exclaimed. “If you want to start a business, Helen can let you manageone of our subsidiaries. Why partner with others?”
“Mom.” Helen quickly cut her short. “Cindy must have her own plans since she’s partnering withfriends.”
Lane Holdings was short on money themselves, and giving away a subsidiary right now was nodifferent from cutting off a piece of themselves. Moreover, Helen knew how vain her mother got withher family, but she had to think for herself too!
Thankfully, Cindy shook her head. “That’s alright, Aunt Gina. I’m doing this on my own this time.”
Helen breathed a sigh of relief, while Gina gave Cindy a huge thumbs up. “You really are born a Zonda.Outstanding!”
Still, Cindy sat down beside Gina, linking arms with her as she purred, “Actually, I have a favor toask…”
“Oh?” What could it be?” Gina asked in curiosity, feeling plenty helpful just then.
After all, Greg was awash with tears as he came to her yesterday, returning the forty million dollars heconned off her.
She even slapped him a few times for good measure.
“I’m planning to draw an investment from the Salazars,” Cindy said mysteriously. “I’ve heard that theirheiress had been taking the herb called panacea polypore for nourishment. That’s why I’d like to buyone and present it to her as a gift.”
Helen frowned. “Aren’t the Salazars based in Sunny City? What does your company have to do withthem if you’re aiming for the Riverton market?”
“Honestly, are you really the CEO of Lane Holdings? Don’t you know that much?” Cindy scoffed, rollingher eyes at Helen before puffing her chest proudly as she announced, “The Salazars are planning aventure into the Riverton market, and Ms. Salazar herself holds the shares. They have also developedthe Beauty Pill–no lady would miss out on that action. Actually, do you want me to get you a couple?”
“No thanks,” Helen quickly said.
Cindy rolled her eyes again before tugging on Gina’s arm, “Aunt Gina, I’ve actually found where wecould buy a panacea polypore. Come with me later, alright?”
Gina thought about it, but how much would a panacea polypore cost anyway?

Nodding right then, she said, “How could I ever say no to you, dear? Don’t worry–I’ll definitely buy it foryou.”

As Helen, Gina and Cindy all headed to Vintagers at noon, Frank and Kenny arrived soon after. Kennyled Frank to a rather modest store, approaching the front desk worker. “Let’s see that panaceapolypore you have. We’re buying it.”

“What?!” Kenny exclaimed in shock, regretting not placing a deposit earlier.
