Chapter 1043
After all, Fleur and her ilk could not imagine how Frank could earn a billion dollars through the farm resort.
And if Frank departed from Riverton, they would once again take back control of the family and Mark would not be able to say a thing about that. Talk about playing to their tune…
“In that case, that’s all for today,” Mark said. “Frank, Helen… I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Once Mark turned and headed inside the manor with the rest of his family, Helen was suddenly her old self.
“Frank…” she murmured. “Can we really do this? T-There’s no way, right? I mean, it’s a billion dollars we’re talking about!”
Her ice queen self melted away as she revealed her true self, and she was tugging on Frank’s sleeve miserable. She was certainly a lot less of that determined independent woman from before and more a miserable young girl.
Frank almost laughed out loud right then.
“You’re laughing?! You’re terrible!” Helen flushed, biting her lip grumpily.
“Sorry, can’t help it.” Frank paused and chuckled, “If you weren’t that confident, Ms. Lane, why did you agree to the wager so confidently?”
“B-Because of you!” Helen threw a meek punch on his chest even as she cried. “You were being so confident! Of course I had to back you up… And I think it’s plenty enough to become Granduncle’s successor. Why did you have to get him to retire earlier?”
“Hahaha…” Frank laughed as he pulled her into the arms. “Well, I did it on purpose-you’ll be a housewife after you lose, and not the CEO of Lane Holdings. We’ll be vagrants, traveling and begging alms, never having full meals…”
“Ugh, you’re the worst!” Helen snapped, flustered as she punched him.
In reality, she almost looked forward to what Frank described, even though it was clearly a joke.
While she tended to carry herself proudly, she was a young woman just like any other who had her romantic fantasies.

After two sleepless nights of reconstruction, the people Trevor Zurich sent managed to rebuild the farm resort.
However, that also means the costs spiked up to five billion, once again exceeding the expected budget.
“Don’t worry,” Frank assured Trevor
“Your company has a share of the farm resort, and you’ll definitely recoup your investment, if not make a killing.”
Trevor was relieved at that.
Even if he did not say it, he still felt heartbreak after investing so much time and resources into the farm resort.
At the same time, Lane Holdings’ new entertainment company had gone all out for one month, with Noel York shooting personal ads for the farm resort.
In addition, she announced that she would be holding a concert during the opening ceremony of the farm resort. The entire east coast was left abuzz with excitement by the news, and there were even fans who traveled to Riverton. Naturally, concert tickets were scalped to kingdom come, a testament to Noel’s incredible influence.
And at the same time, reservations for the farm resort’s hyper premium experience were being auctioned too.
Thanks to optimal promotion, aside from reserved spots, the rich and the powerful were all fighting among themselves just to get their names in.
