The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

While Helen was hospitalized, Lane Holdings were attacked ruthlessly, from the main branch to its subsidiaries.

Share prices were reaching new lows, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

As soon as Helen woke up in the morning, Gina was crying her eyes out. “What have we done? How could the world be so unfair to us?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Peter was clenching his knuckles and growling through his teeth, “Shit. If push comes to shove, we’d just have to bring the fight to them!”

“Hah!” Henry snorted. “Who’s going, you? Are you that suicidal?”

Nearby, Cindy sat in silence, not expecting things to turn out like this.

Henry turned toward Helen just then. “What happened between you and Viola Salazar? Why does she hate you so much?”

They must get to the bottom of this to resolve this issue, but Helen was as confused as they were. “I don’t know. I’ve never met her before–how could I have upset her somehow?”

The Lanes were all speechless, just as Chris arrived.

“Helen, I heard you had trouble yesterday?” he asked in concern.

Gina promptly tools his hands, sobbing, “Oh, Mr. Steiner… You have no idea how much we’ve been through! Viola Salazar has really gone too far, slandering Helen for being a thief…” Chris, however,

was delighted–it seemed that the Lanes still had no idea about him and Viola. Still, Helen asked just then, “Chris, where did you get that red diamond necklace?”

Chris‘ heart skipped a beat, knowing that Helen had doubts about him.

However, he had already prepared an excuse before he came. “I bought it, of course. Viola Salazar tried to buy it as well, but I outbid her. Being as haughty as she is, she must have held a grudge… I’m so sorry that you had to suffer an ordeal because of that, Helen.”

Helen nodded in understanding–if that had happened, it was not surprising that Viola absolutely loathed her..

“It’s not your fault, Mr. Steiner. It’s all Viola’s fault,” Gina sobbed, wiping the tears of her eyes. “You have to help us… The Salazars are sanctioning us, and most of Lane Holdings businesses are falling apart. Can’t you ask your contacts to bail us out?”

Chris was taken aback–Viola was really out to destroy Helen!

She must have had a hunch about his relationship with Helen as well…

However, even if he could not change Viola’s mind, he must at least pretend he could while he was in front of the Lanes.

“Don’t worry,” he promised. “You will all be fine as long as I’m around. I’ve even called the Salazars before I came–they promised to reconsider.”

Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“Mr. Steiner really pulls his weight when it matters.”

“That’s for sure…

Even Cindy saw Chris in a new light.

He must be a big deal, seeing he could actually tell the Salazars what to do.

She could not help being jealous that Helen was always surrounded by such men of power….

That was when someone scoffed in contempt from the door. “Him, changing the Salazars” decision? Laughable.”

Everyone turned to find Frank standing there.
