The rage on Vicky's face somewhat subsidized, and she appeared weary as she collapsed on the couch, rubbing her brow.
Helen then began, "Vicky, I know—"
"What would you know?!"
Vicky bellowed before she could finish and waved her off impatiently. "I don't want your explanation.
The silence between them resumed for a long while, until Helen said, "I'll leave."
"What?!" Vicky looked up in surprise.
"I said, I'll leave... I don't deserve him," Helen murmured, keeping her head down.
"Wait, are you crazy, Helen?!"
Somehow, Helen's words left Vicky furious again, and she sprang to her feet as she slammed her hand on Helen's desk. "You think you can just leave without a care after what you did? Is that all you can do, Helen, as the great CEO of Lanecorp?!"
"Then what am I supposed to do?!" Helen cried, breaking down in tears as she collapsed on her desk. "I-I don't know what to do... I don't know how I should face him..... It's all my fault..."
Vicky was silent, seeing how much Helen blamed herself.
After a long while, she sat on Helen's desk, sighing as she patted Helen's head. "You silly girl. You're just so gullible..."
"What am I going to do, Vicky?" Helen asked, looking up tearfully at her.
"Just go apologize," Vicky said with a shrug. "I know him. He'd hold grudges against anyone except you. After that, we'll come up with a plan to get Winter and the others back."
"Yeah..."
Tearful, Helen threw herself in Vicky's arms, bawling, "I'm sorry... I promised, but I still..."
"That's enough." Vicky sighed exasperatedly, patting Helen's head as she pursed her lips. "I guess I'm stuck with you, huh? Well, I guess I'm coming back and delegating my own family matters to someone else."
"Yeah..."
Helen nodded repeatedly in Vicky's arms.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
It had been two days since Cologne Court was burned down.
Frank was stuck on a bed in Zamri Hospital's ICU, staring blankly at the white ceiling.
"Ow..."
He had to close his eyes in pain as he raised his arm, his skin burned off while the
to
underneath flared. Comet
"Winter... Kat..." he murmured, worried sick about them.
He had already heard from Peter that Winter and the others were taken hostage by Huub, who later sent his people demanding the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.
Huub had also threatened Frank that if he did not make up his mind by today, he would send Winter to Windy Moon Tower.
Frank had no idea what that place was, but he could guess from the name alone.
If Winter was really sent there, she would rather kill herself than be humiliated.
