Chapter 111

Sean naturally did not believe Gina and waved her off impatiently. “That’s enough. Stop bothering me already.”

With those words, he left with Lisa in his arms.

Gina was going to speak further when Frank chuckled. “He’s not even bothered to talk to you, but you’re still sticking your head up his ass.”

“Shut up! This is none of your business!” Gina shot him a vicious glare.

Just then, Vicky strode up onstage, taking the microphone with a professional smile. “We’re officially starting the groundbreaking ceremony of the West City Project. Let’s give a warm round of applause to welcome Ms. Helen Lane, my partner and the board chair of Lane Holdings…”

Applause thundered at her words, and Helen walked up on stage in her blue gown.

Sean was clapping half–heartedly until he saw Helen’s flawless face.

His jaw dropped as he looked on in disbelief. “How the fuck…?!”

He had seen with his own eyes how gruesome the scar on Helen’s face was, but it was now gone without a trace!

And now, looking at Helen and then at Lisa, Sean certainly could see the great difference between them and swore under his breath, “Shit… Gina was telling the truth.”

“Wow… That’s Helen Lane? Why haven’t I heard of her before?”

“She’s quite something! It’s no wonder the Turnbulls would partner with her…”

“That beauty… some bigwig must have her back!”

As everyone below stage became restless, Vicky studied Helen as the other woman made her way onstage.

She was actually surprised that Helen was even more beautiful after recovering from her facial scar, and she could well be more beautiful now.

Vicky could not help feeling a little jealous, though she kept smiling even as the staff helped with the groundbreaking ceremony.

It seems that Frank helped treat your face,” she said.

Helen reared her chin proudly. “It has nothing to do with Frank.

han who did? Vicky asked, surprised inwardly who other than Frank was that incredible with medicine?

“Who else could it be?” Helen smiled. “Mr. Zimmer, of course.”

Vicky was only left further perplexed.

That was certainly news to her–Dan Zimmer? When did he learn to cure scars?

And judging from Helen’s serious look, she was not lying.

“How fortunate that people are rushing to help you as soon as you get hurt,”

said nonetheless.

Helen could tell the diss in Vicky’s words and said coolly, “I guess. When it comes to pushovers such as myself, we’d be dead without luck.”

After that, they both put on safety helmets, posing for photos for the groundbreaking ceremony by shoveling dirt and then with other partners.

With the formalities over, everyone picked up a champagne flute and started mingling among each other.

Sean walked up to Helen just then, grinning. “I’m surprised you were discharged already, Helen. I’ve been busy with work for a couple days so I didn’t have time to visit. You’re not upset with me, are you?”

Helen leveled him with a cool look. “Why should I be? There’s nothing going on between us.
