Chapter 98
Greg said, “Helen Lane. She’s the owner of Lane Holdings and recently secured a partnership with the
Turnbulls.”
Dan realized with a start and chuckled, “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that–someone will be taking care of that. She’ll soon make a full recovery.
After all, Dan knew he did not have to do a thing since Frank was going to help Helen. In fact, if Frank could not help, Dan himself might not be able to do it.
“Uhh…” Greg had more to say, but Dan had already hung up.
“Grey? What did Mr. Zimmer say?” Gina quickly asked in turn.
“Oh…” Greg hesitated for a moment before telling her, “Don’t worry. Mr. Zimmer has agreed to help your daughter, but it will be a while before he does. It will be fine, I promise.”
Gina was beside herself with joy. “Oh, thank you so much, Greg! Really, I didn’t expect to rely on you again when it matters–you’re as successful as you were before, acing grades and gym. You’re the only one in our class who made it to college.
Greg was absolutely reveling in Gina’s worshipful gaze, his vanity absolutely satisfied. “Oh, that’s in the past and not worth mentioning. You were the prettiest girl in the class too, and so many boys were wooing you.
Gina flashed a chagrined smile. “Funny you should say that. You never seemed interested in ma
“Oh, I was just obsessed with studying at the time,” Greg chuckled, his eyes studying Gina–he had to admit that even if she was forty, she would still make a good mistress.

Gina was hesitant, since she had stayed single since her husband’s passing to help out with the family
business.
However, Helen was now an adult and able to hold her own, not to mention that there was that night of indulgence she had with that bellboy at Verdant Hotel…
If anything, she was looking forward to having a man in her life, since staying celibate for too long
did hurt a little.
Moreover, Greg had been the stud of their class himself, and she would not mind if some spark ignited between them despite their age.
Nodding shyly, she said, “I’ll check if I’m free tonight.”
Seeing that he had a chance, Greg promptly laughed. “I’ll pick you up tonight.”
With that, he strode out of the stairway, not allowing Gina time to refuse.
Still, Gina was delighted as she fantasized about the date tonight.

Meanwhile, Frank had returned to Verdant Hotel and focused all his efforts on refining a medicine.
He poured every ingredient into a cauldron, and as the fire burned, every punch of medicinal value was extracted.
Frank was fully concentrated as he adjusted and refined the extract, and it was five hours later when he finally refined it into a 100ml ointment.
Helen’s scar would definitely be removed with this. He then promptly whipped out his phone to call Helen to tell her the good news.
