Chapter 75

Frank rolled his eyes again. “I didn’t do anything to Helen.”

Even so, Gina pointed at him and snapped, “I’m warning you. I’m suing you if anything happens to her!”

Helen was exasperated. “That’s enough, Mom. Frank and I weren’t sharing a room.”

She actually had a lot of questions for Frank, but it seemed she had to give up now that her mother was here.

“You passed out drunk!” Gina snapped relentlessly and dragged her away right then. “Come on. We’re going to the hospital–who knows what he did to you.

Helen was speechless–would she not know if anything had been done to her?

Still, just as they stepped out of the hotel, Gina said, “You really should stop seeing Frank–it’d be bad if Mr. Wesley sees this.”

“So what if he does? We’re just friends,” Helen retorted.

She actually believed that Frank could be trusted. And if it really was true, she would not forgive Sean for drugging her, no matter how much he had done for her.

“Are you really stupid?!” Gina snapped in disappointment. “Mr. Wesley proposed to you! He clearly likes you!”

“So what?” Helen returned calmly. “I didn’t say yes, and I don’t like him.”

“What’s wrong with you?!” Gina poked her in the head. “Love doesn’t put food on the table! Money is money, and the Wesleys have plenty of it. That’s reality.”

“Whatever. I don’t need you to tell me who to choose.” Helen waved Gina off impatiently when she noticed something unusual about her mother.

Gina was never a morning person and was usually lethargic after waking up.

Now, however, she was positively exuberant.

“What’s with you? You look so spirited,” Helen said.

“Uhm…” Gina was taken aback.

However, it was only natural she was spirited after a long night of stormy passion, not to mention that it had been a while.

Hiding her face in her palm, muttering in embarrassment, “N–Nothing…”

Helen was puzzled but did not press the issue, and they drove away from the hotel.

Still at the hotel, Vicky was just stepping out after putting on her clothes and found Frank. “So, your darling left?”

Frank looked at her in turn.

“You didn’t do anything to Helen, did you?”

“Har, har. I’m not interested in her, though I don’t think that was the case for you.”

Frank shrugged. “Gina snapped at me, saying she’s taking her daughter to the hospital for a checkup.

She vowed to sue me if there’s an issue.”

Vicky rolled her eyes. “Does she think that her daughter is some sort of divine treasure?”

Frank sent Vicky home after breakfast, but they had just entered the drawing room when they found Susan sitting there angrily and waiting for them.

“Where have you two been?” she demanded right away.

“Don’t worry, Mom,” Vicky replied noncommittally. “No one can lay a finger on me with Frank around…”

“Do I look like I’m worried about your safety?!” Susan snapped angrily.
