Frank stomped on Gable's only leg, narrowing his eyes as he growled coolly, "You really don't know when to give up, huh? Not content with killing your father, you'd try to kill your mother too?! You're a real animal! It'd dirty my hands to kill you!"Though Gable flinched at Frank's outburst, he did his best to force a smile as he pleaded, "You won't kill me, right? I-I had no choice! I racked up a huge debt and they've been coming after me, so if I don't pay up—""That's not my problem." Frank chuckled coolly and pressed his foot down.Crack.As Gable's joints cracked audibly from overwhelming pressure, he cried, "Wait! Wait! I can tell you everything! Just spare my life… I'll return to Laneville with you and confess everything! If you kill me, my mother will hate you even more! You have to let me live!"It was actually a smart move by Gable to save his own skin despite the direness of his situation.After all, he knew that his mother just might be able to keep him alive if he w

Seeing Helen''s look of confusion, Frank nodded calmly. "Though I wouldn't say Fleur Lang's merely involved… The whole thing was planned up by her and Gable Lane.""What…?!"Helen was stunned speechless and was left further shocked to learn that Frank kept Gable confined here in Lanecorp Tower.How could she have known that so much could happen in the Lane family in the brief few days she was gone?Frank then took a recording device from his pocket and put it on Helen's desk, chuckling coolly as he told the security guards, "Go. Bring Jade Zahn and Gable Lane here. Also, let Fleur Lang and her friends in—I will interrogate them directly."However, as soon as Fleur and her group entered Helen's office, they did not expect Fleur to seize the initiative right away."Frank Lawrence!" She pointed at Frank's face as she bellowed, "You are an enemy! You're not a member of our family—you have no right abducting my son! He just went out to buy me medicine, so you better have an explanatio

As his blood-curdling scream rang, Gable Lane was sent flying crashing through the glass wall and down Lanecorp Tower."Frank Lawrence!"Fleur was furious to see Frank would actually kill in broad daylight, but before she could say another word, Frank wheeled on her with a sinister glare, leaving her flinching."Insolence!"That was when the elderly woman who had been standing by Fleur all this while strode up.While she had been calm and composed before, she was now glaring coldly at Frank as she snapped, "How dare you murder a member of the Lane family right in front of me!""And who are you?" Frank asked, though he had an idea given how the woman carried with authority, as if she was above the rest.Fleur quickly snapped at Frank, "She's Yora Yimmel, my dear sister and the matriarch of the Lane family!""Yora Yimmel?"Frank did a double take—he had never heard that name before, but 'matriarch of the Lane family' was not really hard to place.Helen flinched in turn, because

"It doesn't matter what Gable did," Yora retorted coolly. "Your husband doesn't get to kill him under my watch. And I'll have you know that the family has been complaining a lot lately, and some of those complaints even reached me all the way in Bralog."And I just happened to be dropping by for a visit today. I actually thought that a brat like you would be actually competent, given how you're able to lead a major enterprise… But it's as frustrating as it is disappointing, because as it turns out, you have no conscience, allowing your husband to kill a member of the Lane family in front of me!"Then, pointing at Frank, she finished, "I will now have him restrained and punished per family rules. If you refuse me, we will have to make you!"Yora's rant was not just unreasonable, but she clearly held no respect for Helen as the head of the Lane family."Family rules?"Frank strode up just then, leveling Yora an icy glare. "We can afford you some respect as a matriarch of the Lane fa

Yora shot Gina a cool glare right then. "What? Do you have anything to say about that?"While Gina quickly stopped herself, Helen snapped, "I will tell Granduncle everything, Madam Yimmel! He will see to this!""Pfft…"Yora merely snickered at Helen's threat. "What, did you think name-dropping Mark would work on me?""Why not?!" Helen retorted with righteous indignation. "I'm the head of the Lane family, appointed by Mark himself!""No, no, no…"Yora shook her head, laughing. "You misunderstand. What I mean to say is that the old-timer can't go against me now. Hell, why do you think that he can still hear you?""What?!" Helen was stunned. "Are you saying…""That's right."Fleur strode up with a sinister sneer. "Just this morning, our dear husband suddenly suffered a heart attack and has since been rushed to an ICU, where he slipped into a coma.""What?!"At that point, there was no way Helen could not catch on.Even as a chill ran down her spine, she shook with rage, "You
