On the other hand, Vicky was smiling. "You must be Fleur Lang, ma'am. Your reputation precedes you... Oh, where are mymanners? Would you like some tea? | can pour you some."
She really enjoyed stepping on toes, gleeful even as she mentioned the tea incident of the previous night and leaving Fleurglowering.
Jade, who had enough, snapped at Vicky right then, "Ms. Turnbull, you should stay in line even if your family is important inMorhen. We aren't afraid of you."
Vicky gasped in dramatic surprise. "Whoa, you must be Jade Zahn! Hello to you too—! heard that my darling husband FrankLawrence saved your daughter, yes?"
She certainly was no punching bag like Helen, and her mention of that life debt left Jade and Luna pursing their lips grumpily."| mean, a life debt lasts forever, doesn't it? But why does it feel like neither of you are grateful?"
Vicky sighed in exaggerated disappointment just then. "Such a shame I'm not as noble as my husband —I mean, if | savedsomeone and they still have the cheek to slander me for molestation, I'd really punish them behind their back. Who knows, theymight be poisoned without knowing it!"
Vicky's pointed supposition actually spooked Luna, and she hurried off, lifting her sleeves to check.Jade strode up right then, shielding Luna behind her. "This is the Lane family business, Ms. Turnbull! Stay out of this!"
"Oh, | certainly do, but my hands are tied!" Vicky shrugged. "Helen borrowed my money. I'm now bearing a risk as her creditor,so | have a right to check if her investment is a prudent one, don't you think?"
Vicky's smile never faded even as she brought down the women of the Lane family a peg.They certainly knew Vicky was infamous for her sharp tongue, and they would not get anything out of verbal fencing against her.Instead, Fleur turned her sights on Frank, snorting under her breath, "Two-timing bastard. Despicable."
“Oh, but isn't your husband much worse, Madam Lang?" Vicky giggled. "| mean, three wives! That's three-timing—my darling ismuch more upstanding in comparison."
Her retort left Fleur cursing herself—what was wrong with her, trying to insult Frank with that?! She was just shooting herself inthe foot!
With that, Vicky silenced Luna, Jade and Fleur all on her own. They scowled as if they were choking, as none of them couldbreath the insults and mockery they had on the tip of their tongues.novelbin
Helen actually felt cathartic—in this respect, Vicky was not that contemptible."Whoa!"
Soon, an elderly man arrived on horseback.
His curled hair was white, but his eyes were spirited and he was dressed stylishly.It was none other than Mark Lane, Henry Lane's younger brother.After Gavin hurried to him and helped him off his house, he looked around, eventually fixing his gaze on Helen.
"Gavin told me about you, Helen,"Mark spoke, his tone Cpestrengt hashealmieseti not lookséventy, “You're interested in takingthis farm off my hands?" The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
