“What?!” Frank was incensed, and his hands tightened around Greg.
Greg’s face turned flushed as he could not breathe. “Oof… Please… Let me go…‘
Nonetheless, Frank bellowed, “Where is Helen now?!”
“Skywater Bay! Mansion 13!” Greg shouted at the top of his lungs. “That’s all I know! Now let me go!”
Frank frowned.
Skywater Bay?
He opened the door and pulled Greg out of the car before taking the driver’s seat.
Even as Greg lay sprawled on the ground, he shouted, “Please give me the antidote!”
Frank shouted back coolly without turning, “Come to me when you’ve returned the money!
Meanwhile, Baldie and his thugs had locked up Helen in a guest room inside Mansion 13.
She pulled off the gurney sack they put over her head, finally seeing her surroundings.
The room was too clean to be some loan shark’s office!
Helen kept hammering on the door, shouting, “Where did you take me?! Let me out!” Baldie laughed outside. “You’re not leaving until we’re paid. So just stay right there.”
Somehow, Helen calmed down despite Baldie’s words.
They had taken away her phone, so she could not contact her mother and find out if she could gather the money.
Unable to get help, she took a seat to rest, but the door opened again.
It was none other than Sean, though he locked the door as soon as he got in.
“Sean?” Helen exclaimed in surprise, never expecting him to show up. “What are you doing here?”
Sean chuckled and explained, “Your mom called me, saying your family incurred a huge debt and they took you away. I just happen to be a close friend of Sindark’s owner, so I quickly called him and told them not to lay a finger on you.”
“Thank you,” Helen said, keeping her head lowered despite being surprised that Sean came to her rescue when it mattered.
Sean waved her off dismissively, “It’s nothing, Helen. You’re more than welcome–and don’t worry, I’ve already paid the loan for your mom.”
“I’ll repay you as soon as possible,” Helen quickly said, not wanting anything to do with Sean after seeing his true colors at The Dynasty.
Sean, however, started to walk up to her slowly. “Don’t you get it, Helen? Money doesn’t mean anything as long as you’re happy. You can pretend it’s my dowry.”

Helen promptly distanced herself, frowning as she demanded, “What are you talking about? What dowry?”
Sean got agitated right then. “I’ve helped you so many times and spent so much on you… Don’t you feel anything for me?”
Helen rolled her eyes. “How did you ever help me?”
“I mean, not before… But I helped you this time by paying twenty million, didn’t I?”
Helen snorted. “I don’t need it—I’ll pay you back, and then we’ll go our separate ways.”
“You don’t need it?” Sean’s eyes flashed viciously. “Then you’re not getting away!”
Helen cried out as he pushed her on the bed. “What are you doing?!”
“I spent so much time and effort on you!” Sean bellowed, giving up on pretenses right then. And you’re telling me to go our separate ways?! Did you really think you got to have a say?! I’ll make you mine right now!”
He might have intended to appeal to her sentiment, but seeing that she was so unreasonable, he had to use force!
