The nearby elevator doors suddenly opened when Frank was just about to dispose of Hubert's corpse, and a familiar face appeared.
It was none other than Helen Lane.
"Frank…?" she murmured.
Frank glanced at her—she was visibly skinnier, and the dark circles under her eyes were obvious. Even if she tried her best to hide it with makeup, she could not hide it from Frank after their three-year marriage.
It seemed that the last few days had not been kind to her.
For his part, Frank stayed silent—he had cut all ties with her and had nothing more to say since she would soon marry Chaz.
It was therefore shocking that Helen charged at him, grabbing his wrist as she cried, "Just calm down! Chaz told me you had a fight with Hubert Sorano—come on, let's go apologize to Hubert. The Graves family has just signed a partnership with the Lionhearts, and Chaz is now Titus Lionheart's ally. If you upset Chaz…"
Before she could finish, she found the corpse on the stairs, her pupils dilating as she turned pale.
"What…" she murmured as she released Frank to check who it was and was left dumbstruck when she did.
"Frank!" Her lips were trembling even as tears rolled down her pretty cheeks. "W-Why did you do this?! Why did you kill Hubert?!"
Frank suddenly appeared sad. "No, you won't get it—you've never believed me anyway, not even once. That's why you really shouldn't play saint and accuse me of anything, because you have no right. Run along now, tell Titus that I killed Hubert… But I'm telling you that I'm not afraid of him. No, I'm Frank Lawrence and I'm not afraid of anyone!"
With that, he turned to leave without a care, scoffing as he did. "Oh, and best wishes for your wedding. Hope you get a kid soon too."
Helen dropped to her knees, her eyes welling with tears from Frank's apathy.
Why would she marry Chaz now that Hubert was dead?
If Titus went after Frank, all the compromising she did was but a one-sided wish and a complete waste of effort.
