'Helen, there are times when you shouldn't be rational. You're a woman and you should trust your instincts more and be stubborn! Know how to follow your heart when you face a dilemma, or you'd be left with a lifetime of regret like me.'Helen's confused gaze turned sharp as she remembered her grandfather's will.It was thanks to her wit and rationality that Lane Holdings became so successful.However, it was also her wit and rationality that kept her only relieving what she saw, doubting everything Frank said.She used to think about it and regret it but ultimately stayed rational and dispel those regrets.And the same thing was happening, as her rationality kept telling her not to go with Frank, or the consequences would be severe. Her heart kept resisting that, however, because she really wanted to take Frank's hand… to the point she could lose her mind."Haha… Hahaha!!!"She suddenly laughed as everyone looked on, innocently and without a care. "So that's what it was. I've
Helen never broke character as a strong and independent for as long as Frank knew her and would stay stoic even with him.Her raving outburst actually left his heart skipping a beat, and he held her firmly in his arms, his eyes flashing. "Don't worry. I won't let you die here… absolutely not!""Yes!" Helen nodded in his arms—she had decided to trust him, and she would do so to the bitter end!"Do you know what you're doing, Helen?!" Chaz shrieked, his face contorted in fury as he revealed in true nature.His own bride-to-be was spurning him on the altar.No, forget that—what she just did just made him lose face. She could well have cut it off!Exposing him in public and slapping him, then running to another man?! His reputation was being trodden on—how would Southstream rich and important see him now? Or his own family, for that matter?!This was not even an insult. It was a declaration of war, one that would be fought to the bitter end!Chaz would rather die than let those t
"That's enough!"Gina sprang to her feet and yelled at Helen, "Can't you just stop already?! Cindy is your cousin! Are you really so bent on pushing her over the brink?!""Me, pushing her?!" Helen laughed miserably. "I'm your daughter, Mom! Forget running to me after you split up with Dad—you even had to burden me with a dead weight like Cindy! And you know all too well how many terrible things she's done—do you think I'm that stupid?"Then, glaring at Gina, she continued, "Also, I welcomed you with open arms since you and Dad went your separate ways, but I never had a day of peace ever since you came! You complain because you can't live like a trophy wife in Northstream, and blame Grandfather for being strict with you—you even tricked me into divorcing Frank! You made me an enemy of Frank and drove Grandfather to his death!""You and Cindy are certainly satisfied, but what about me?! Have you ever treated me like a daughter?! You're just treating me like leverage against Dad!"Gi
Even someone like Burt had to stop and think because these bodyguards served the Lionhearts.However, Frank simply clasped his palm over Helen's eyes and snapped a single, icy word. "Death!"Burt's face contorted with savagery at Frank's orders, since it meant there was nothing to worry about now.He swung his sword stylishly, releasing a dance of phantoms.Even before the Lionhearts' bodyguards could react, they fell to the floor, bleeding rivers as their limbs were all sent flying and scattering all over."What?! Burt is Birthright rank… Has he improved that far?!"There was no shortage of martial elites among the guests who remained, and some even recognized Burt.However, they were all stunned to see Burt release streaks of his pure vigor!"Birthright rank?!"Even the Graves family's martial elites were faltering when they heard that.Burt's fame for his ferocity was certainly deserved, dismembering five men in a split second and leaving them screaming!It was a scene of
However, Frank merely regarded Neil with disdain. "Ungrateful, traitorous scum. Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?"He had no intention of going after Neil out of respect for Vicky, but he could not be blamed for what happened when Neil came asking for it."You should think about what you're saying, Frank." Neil glowered. "Titus will soon be here, so know your place and get down on your knees. Who knows, Titus might prove understanding and spare your life! Keep being stubborn, and not even I can help at that point.""Hahaha!" Frank could not help laughing at Neil's gloating at that point, shaking his head. "Oh, Neil… you're both Turnbulls, but why is Vicky so smart, while your head is all empty?""Did you just mock me?!" Neil glared at Frank."Brother, take Ms. Lane and go. I can deal with this," Burt said just then.Thanks to Ichor Pill Frank sent him, he healed rapidly and even ascended up to Birthright rank, far eclipsing the man he once was.Chaz turned pale ev
A man in a long coat strode in, the sharpness in his eyes so piercing it could well be actual blades.He had long black hair with a streak of white on his bangs that parted in the middle. Standing tall at 1.9 meters, he was burly and fleshed out where he should, making it obvious that he was a formidable martial artist. "You have to help Mr. Graves! Frank Lawrence is going to kill him!" Wilbur was still crying out anxiously."Cam down." Titus shot Wilbur a look of assurance, while he strode pompously to stand just beneath the stage, smiling faintly at Frank on top. "So, you're Frank Lawrence? I've heard you saying outside that you don't fear me?"His tone was calm, but the dark aura spilling out of his eyes struck Burt so hard he stumbled a few steps backward.Burt paled in shock as he came to a realization. "He completed Birthright! S-So that's the might of Titus Lionheart?!"Even Helen's fingers were clenching on Frank's clothes even as she cowered in his arms.And yet, Frank
Chaz, Wilbur, and even Neil were all grinning in delight as Titus' attitude changed dramatically.It seems that nothing was wrong with the man—he was merely being courteous before moving in for the kill!"You murdered my friend Hubert Sorano and my family's retainers, and now you've crashed the wedding of Mr. Graves, my subordinate. Lives were lost, so I'd really like to know what you have to say for yourself, Mr. Lawrence!"At those words, his dark aura burst out, shooting toward Frank!Frank did not cower, however.Leaving Helen with Burt, he unleashed a burst of dark aura and repelled against Titus' pressure."Huh?" Titus gasped when he saw that Frank was not faltering, actually surprised that Frank had that much in him.Frank remained impassive as he glanced at Burt. "Take Helen and go.""Yeah!" Burt nodded, knowing from a glance at Titus that he was no match for the man.Hence, knowing that he would just be a burden to Frank if he stayed, he held Helen's arm and snapped h
Titus only heard that Vicky and Frank were very close, and nothing about things getting physical.No man could accept being cucked even before getting married, and the same certainly went for Titus, the heir to a dynasty as illustrious as the Lionhearts!He glowered right then. "Is what Neil said true, Mr. Lawrence?"Before Frank could say a word, Neil was jumping as he pointed at him and bellowed, "Frank Lawrence! Did Vicky spend the night at your mansion in Skywater Bay?! Answer me!""Vicky has her own room in my mansion," Frank said calmly even as he met Titus' hostile glare. "But we were just colleagues and behaved as such, never once overstepping boundaries. Believe what you will.""Shut up!" Neil bellowed furiously. "You think I don't know Vicky? She would have fallen for your tricks if I never interfered! Hah! Deny it all you want—I have a recording!"Neil grinned darkly as he whipped out his phone, and played a recording of Vicky giggling and flirting at Frank, repeatedly
