"M-Madam Yimmel?" Gina gasped.
She had come to ask how Luna died in fear that Frank did something rash again, thus causing Helen to drift further apart from the Southstream Lanes.
Helen's place as the head of the Lane family was not solid in the first place, and if more issues popped up right now, Fleur and her ilk would definitely seize the opportunity to ask questions.
That was why Gina was endlessly concerned and rushed to Lanecorp Tower as soon as she found out about Luna's death.
She just did not expect even Yora Yimmel, matriarch of the Lane family, to be here too.
Things would definitely not end well now…
"Just look at your daughter and her husband, Gina Zonda!"
At the same time, Fleur glowered as soon as she saw Gina enter, pointing at Frank as she bellowed, "He kicked my son out of that window, while Madam Yimmel and I watched! What do you have to say about that?!"
Gina was sweating buckets at Fleur's threat.
If anything, making enemies of Fleur was acceptable—she was just Mark Lane's second wife, and her birth family did not carry much authority.
But things were completely different if Yora was involved!
She was the matriarch of both the Lane family and the Yimmels of Bralog. And with the numerous martial artists known to dwell around Bralog, the fact that the Yimmels still flourished made their power apparent.
Gina did a double take when she heard the displeasure in her daughter's voice, while Yora snorted in response.
"What, do you have a problem with that? Shouldn't I be straightening out a child like you?"
Pointing at Frank, Yora snapped coolly, "The truth has yet to be revealed, but your husband is in a hurry to kill the witness and bury evidence! It's clear as day, and I slapped you so that you would actually see!
"Moreover, Gable is a member of us Southstream Lanes! And yet, as a member of the Northstream Lanes, Helen, you are tolerating your husband's murder of one of ours! So I'm asking you here—what is it you're scheming?!"
Helen's brow furrowed—Yora was clearly not backing down, even starting to threaten them.
However, she rose to her feet and was clearly intent to stick to her guns as she argued, "Madam Yimmel, I've told you that Frank had his reasons to do it. He's not unreasonable, and you should be properly investigating what Gable had done instead."
