Vicky alighted, asking, “Where are you staying, Mr. Lawrence? May I offer you a ride?”
Frank thought about it and sighed. “I was just planning to stay at a hotel.”
He did not own any house in Riverton, and he could not return to Lane Manor after his divorce with Helen.
“Oh…” Vicky did a double take but did not press the issue. “Then you’re in luck—we have over fifty hotels in Riverton. Allow me to arrange for a suite, so I can deliver you the wonderroot when it arrives.”
Frank thought about it and nodded. “Sure.”
He got into the backseat with Vicky while Yara drove, though she stopped at the gates.
“What’s wrong?” Vicky asked.
“There’s a car stopped ahead, and I don’t know what for,” Yara complained.
Frank peered out of the car window and noticed a man weaning a suit standing by the security booth.
“Please inform Mr. Turnbull of my arrival. Tell him that it’s Sean Wesley—my family owns a major business in Riverton.”
With those words, he whipped out a stack of hundred dollar bills and handed it to the security guard.
The security guard promptly nodded gratefully. “Yes, please wait a moment. I’ll inform Mr. Turnbull right away.”
Frank narrowed his eyes when he heard Sean’s name and studied the man just as Yara said, “It seems he’s here to see Mr. Turnbull.”
“Ignore them,” Vicky said flatly.
Outside, Sean was soon back in his car—the security guard allowed him to drive inside, as Walter clearly gave his permission.
There was a pretty face riding shotgun in his car—it was Helen.
“Don’t worry,” Sean assured her confidently. “I heard that Walter Turnbull’s daughter is bedridden, and I brought along a 100 year-old panacea cap for her. With something so divine, he’ll definitely help you secure that development project at the west side of the city.”
Helen breathed a sigh of relief, overwhelmed with gratitude toward Sean. “Thank you so much for this, Mr. Wesley.”
She had been depressed after Trevor called off their partnership and was naturally surprised that Sean was willing to help her build another with the Turnbulls.
He even bought a panacea cap along, so she could present it as her gift—he was certainly a great help!
“Oh, it’s nothing, Helen,” Sean said smugly. “We’re friends, aren’t we? We have each other’s backs.”
Helen was tearing up from emotion—Sean was certainly proving himself to be a real friend with all his prowess, especially with the way he always came to her aid whenever she needed help.
In contrast, her ex-husband certainly dulled in comparison. Perhaps letting her mother force Frank to divorce her was a smart choice.
Meanwhile, Sean did not waste time hurrying inside the villa, though Helen glanced outside just as their car passed another.
She did a double take, since the man sitting at the backseat looked so much like Frank!
“What?” Sean promptly asked.
“I think that was Frank in that car just now,” Helen said quietly.
“Hahaha!” Sean guffawed. “This is Balmung Hill’s mansion zone, and everyone living here is either rich or powerful. What would your useless ex-husband be doing here?”
Helen peered outside the car again, but she totally agreed with Sean.
Moreover, she only looked outside and did not see the man’s face clearly. Maybe it was just a slight resemblance…

Meanwhile, Yara drove straight toward Verdant Hotel, which was the grandest hotel in Riverton.
There were eighteen floors spanning over 2,000 square meters, and two lion statues grandly adorned the front entrance.
