Seeing the security guards sitting among the guests get to their feet, Helen looked so nervous that she
could cry. "Why did you come, Frank? You have to leave before the Graves family's guards come for
you!"
"Leave?" Frank smiled. "Then I will bring you along with me."
"You're still joking around now?!" Helen could cry as she stamped her feet in frustration.
"I'm not joking," Frank said, holding her gaze as his expression turned solemn. "I know that Chaz
forced you into marrying him, by threatening my life at that."
The room was left in an uproar at Frank's words, as Chaz's fabricated persona of a devoted lover
crumbled.
So Helen was coerced by Chaz into this wedding when she did not want to marry him?!
There was not one soul who didn't like gossip, especially the drama and intrigue involving rich and
powerful families.
Even as the guests were sent abuzz with excitement and listened attentively for more juicy details,
Helen shook her head and smiled miserably.
"So what if he did, Frank?" she sobbed. "I know you're strong and you have Vicky Turnbull's support,
but can you defeat ten, or even a hundred? Can Vicky protect you if the Lionhearts come after you?
And you've now insulted the Graves family. If they work with the other top families of Southstream...
Don't you know that you're already helpless?!"
"Shush." Frank put a finger on her lips to stop her from talking and held her gaze. "Forget our three-
year marriage—have I ever lied to you, even after our divorce?"
Helen wanted to lie but ultimately admitted, "No."
"Then trust me this one time!" Frank said, holding out a hand. "I can't offer flowery words or promise
you anything, but I'm now standing right here and asking if you'll come with me, Helen."
Helen was silent at that.
She looked around her.
Chaz was barely repressing his rage, while Gina was charging toward them.novelbin
The crowd was in an uproar.
The Graves family's security guards were running at them, their weapons poised.
The Lionhearts' bodyguards did the same, under orders from Wilbur Lionheart.
She was always smart and rational.
What about Gina, Cindy, and the family whom her grandfather left in her care?
"Grandfather..." Helen suddenly remembered the will that Henry Lane wrote for her.
