Worst of all, Larry's brother was a part of it!
Helen sighed. "Larry is really nothing compared to his brother—that man is the real heart of Zomber Group, lurking in the shadows. It was his plan to use you, as he just told me that!"
Peter dropped to his knees, petrified. If Larry's brother found out that he was the one who killed Larry, someone as unprotected and as unimportant as him would definitely be destroyed!
"W-What should I do?! Helen… Frank! Please, you have to help me!"
Frank folded his arms before his chest and snorted, clearly not interested in getting involved. "I was going to spare Larry, but you insisted on killing him. You just have to live with the consequences now."
"Frank's right. You just have to live with it yourself," Helen agreed coolly. "Did you think I'd still help you after you set me up, not caring what would happen to Lanecorp or my modesty?!"
While Peter's soul seemed to be drained by Frank and Helen's sentence, he was left kneeling limply on the floor while Helen turned to Frank. "Can you make a call, find out if Peter is lying about my mom too? I don't have my phone."
"Okay." Frank nodded, and they both left the mansion.
Peter remained where he was, silent for a long while.
Then, his panicked gaze turned vicious as he made up his mind, and he got to his feet, glaring at Frank and Helen.
"You can't blame me now… You refused to save me!"

Frank and Helen hurried to Zamri Hospital after calling to ask if they had a patient named Gina Zonda, and the answer was yes.
"What are you talking about?" Helen asked wearily without mentioning that it was Peter's fault that she did not arrive sooner.
And considering Gina's state, Helen avoided mentioning Peter or Gina might have a heart attack.
Somehow, Gina decided to mention her baby boy anyway, "It's Peter! That prick was why I was beaten up! Have you seen him earlier, Helen?!"
"Eh?" Helen was taken aback—what could have caused Gina to turn against her most treasured son?
And Gina even said Peter was why she was beaten up… what could have happened?
"Oh? Helen, you're here!" Cindy Zonda exclaimed as she strode in Gina's ward just then, and she sighed when she saw Helen. "You really have to help Aunt Gina out this time."
