Chapter 268

While Helen was hospitalized, Lane Holdings were attacked ruthlessly, from the main branch to its subsidiaries.

Share prices were reaching new lows, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

As soon as Helen woke up in the morning, Gina was crying her eyes out. “What have we done? How could the world be so unfair to us?”

Peter was clenching his knuckles and growling through his teeth, “Shit. If push comes to shove, we’d just have to bring the fight to them!”

“Hah!” Henry snorted. “Who’s going, you? Are you that suicidal?”

Nearby, Cindy sat in silence, not expecting things to turn out like this.

Henry turned toward Helen just then. “What happened between you and Viola Salazar? Why does she hate you so much?”

They must get to the bottom of this to resolve this issue, but Helen was as confused as they were. “I don’t know. I’ve never met her before–how could I have upset her somehow?”

The Lanes were all speechless, just as Chris arrived.

“Helen, I heard you had trouble yesterday?” he asked in concern.

Gina promptly tools his hands, sobbing, “Oh, Mr. Steiner… You have no idea how much we’ve been through! Viola Salazar has really gone too far, slandering Helen for being a thief…” Chris, however, was delighted–it seemed that the Lanes still had no idea about him and Viola. Still, Helen asked just then, “Chris, where did you get that red diamond necklace?”

Chris‘ heart skipped a beat, knowing that Helen had doubts about him.

However, he had already prepared an excuse before he came. “I bought it, of course. Viola Salazar tried to buy it as well, but I outbid her. Being as haughty as she is, she must have held a grudge… I’m so sorry that you had to suffer an ordeal because of that, Helen.”

Helen nodded in understanding–if that had happened, it was not surprising that Viola absolutely loathed her..copy right hot novel pub
