Chapter 378

Zeb was going to make the bigwigs‘ acquaintance, but he did not even have a chance to greet them when they all turned toward Frank.

“Mr. Lawrence, our chief would like to invite you for an exchange at Flora Hall. You must come whenever you have the time.”

“Mr. Lawrence, our chief cordially invites you to…”

“Mr. Lawrence, my daughter is…”

Everyone spoke all at once, encircling and flattering Frank to kingdom come.

Exasperated, Frank could only nod and agree to their requests.

Naturally, Zeb, Gina, Cindy, and Peter were all gaping, with Gina’s jaw almost dropping on the floor right then. “W–Why are they being so nice to him?”

Beside her, Cindy and Peter looked like they ate dung..

The crowd around them who were watching were busy gossiping among themselves too.

“My god, who is he? All the representatives from major groups are hovering around him!”

“I don’t know… But isn’t he Helen’s lowlife ex–husband?”

“Are you sure? A lowlife being extended so many invitations?”

Meanwhile, the representatives took their seats after Frank agreed to all their invitations, finally granting him some peace.

Even Henry was left stunned beside him.

Gingerly nudging Frank with his elbow, he asked, “Were they all offering you invitations?”

“Probably.” Frank nodded.

“When did you meet them?”

Frank thought about it. “Around the last few months.”

Gina was immediately skeptical. “The last few months? You mean when you hooked Vicky?”

up with Peter nodded. “If I became Vicky’s gigolo, they would be on their knees even before they think about inviting me.”

“That’s right,” Zeb quickly said, intent on saving face after his earlier embarrassment. “Those people are all associates of the Turnbulls, after all.”

Helen had enough right then. “That’s enough. Be careful not to choke on your food, people.”

–

At the same time, she remembered what Vicky said that she was never Frank’s sugar mommy.

Vicky certainly had no reason to lie about that.

Could that mean those representatives‘ invitations were really meant for Frank and Frank only?

Frank stayed until after the banquet was over, chatting with Henry.

He only started outside when it turned dark and found Helen waiting for him for a while at the entrance.

Quietly opening her car door, she beckoned to him. “Let me give you a ride.”

Frank hesitated for a moment before getting in.

As she drove, Helen asked, “Could you tell me how you met Gerald Simmons?”

Frank smiled. “When I saved his life.”

“You’re a healer…?”

Frank shrugged. “Always was. You just never noticed.”

Helen stopped herself from saying anything, since she never cared for Frank enough to notice his strengths.

“So… What about the others?”

“Long story, but the bottomline is that I know them,” Frank said quietly. “What, are you trying to ask for a favor?”

“Hah! Why would I?” Helen rolled her eyes right then.
