The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Helen finished, “I’m a woman, so it’d be pointless for me to go.”

She had no interest in frivolous banquets, though she would send someone to bring Viola some presents since the Salazars deserved that much respect.

“That makes sense. In that case, I won’t go either,” Chris said.

He was inwardly relieved he was absolutely worried that Helen and Viola would meet.

Even if neither knew of each other’s existence, if they actually met and started to talk, something might just get exposed….

When that happened, it would be troublesome.

Helen smiled in

just then as she teased Chris. “Why won’t you attend it? Viola is as beautiful as she is wealthy and influential. I really think you’d be a good match for her.”

“I think Mr. Steiner’s heart already belongs to someone else.” Gina smiled just then.

After all, Chris would come to visit Helen whenever he had time, and he also saved her at Skywater Bay,

He was obviously interested in Helen, but she was too dense to notice.

Chris nodded, his eyes fixed on Helen as he said, “Guilty as charged. That’s why I’d never attend that banquet.”

Helen nodded gingerly.

While she was sharp enough to understand what he meant, she had become less inclined to get involved in a relationship after Sean.

Moreover, she had come to realize that her heart still belonged to Frank and could not accommodate anyone else.

“By the way, I got you a present since I was out on a business trip for the past couple of days- I hope you like it.”

As Chris spoke, he took out a red diamond necklace and put it in front of Helen.

Gina gasped the gem was especially blinding under the glow of the sun.

“Isn’t this very expensive?” she asked, though she already knew her gems, being a girl and all. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Even Helen was shocked that Chris would give her something that valuable.

However, Chris waved her off with a smile. “It’s just around twenty million dollars. It’s not that expensive.”

Peter was flabbergasted. “T–That’s worth twenty million…?!”

One could not expect anything less from Chris, gifting presents of such astronomical value!

“What? Isn’t that expensive?” Gina promptly picked up the necklace, ready to make Helen wear it. “Put it on, Helen. It’s the perfect match for you!”

“Put it down, Mom.” Helen shot Gina a glare before turning to Chris. “Take it back, Mr.

Steiner. That’s too expensive–I can’t take it.”

They were not even in a relationship, and she had no right to take something so valuable from

him.

Chris simply laughed. “It’s just a little token of my sincerity, Helen. Just take it.”

“No, I won’t,” Helen insisted.

Chris, however, had no intention to take it back as he rose to his feet. “Anyway, I have something else to do so I’ll be going now. I’ll visit again some other time.”

He happily left Lane Manor with the knowledge that Helen would not attend Viola’s birthday party, and that meant he had nothing to worry about.

Helen sighed exasperatedly, but she still refused to wear the necklace.

Gina promptly lectured her. “How could you be such a stranger to Mr. Steiner? He gave it to you, so just wear it!”

“Cut it out, Mom,” Helen retorted, shooting Gina a glare “I’m busy–I’m leaving now.”

“Stubborn child…” Gina snapped, though she remained thick–skinned as she giggled. “I’ll be holding on to it. You can wear it during your wedding ”
