One could even say that while Gavin was supposed to be the head of the family, he conceded it to Helen.
That was not just because of Helen's personal abilities, but because Helen had a character with her who could bring the family to new heights.
And the truth was undeniable-just months after Helen took over both as head of the family and became the chairwoman of Lanecorp, both the family and the company were improving from the inside out.
In fact, they seemed to find a motivation to do better like never before, and Mark Lane was personally approving of Helen's strength.
But despite improving like clockwork, Yora suddenly came throwing accusations, and Mark had to fall sick at this time.
And worst of all, his condition was serious, and he never regained consciousness despite retaining stable vitals.
Now, Gavin had to suspect that someone had a hand in his father's illness-to seize power.
Naturally, his chief suspect was Fleur. After all, as Mark's second wife, she was most displeased with Helen becoming the head of the family.
And now, she had gone missing, leaving Gavin feeling like he was running around in circles.
"Dad," Roth suggested. "Why don't we call Frank Lawrence as Mr. Zimmer suggested? He'd definitely save Grandfather."
Gavin sighed but shook his head. "Madam Yimmel chased Mr. Zimmer away. Do you think she'd just let Frank help? And she just announced that the Southstream Lanes are exiled once more, so Frank Lawrence has even less reason to come if Madam Yimmel doesn't shut him out in the first place."
"Then, what? Are we supposed to just let Madam Yimmel take over?!" Roth exclaimed anxiously. "Why don't we contact Helen for now and see what she has to say about Madam Yimmel? We can't just sit by and watch if Madam Yimmel is really going to exile Helen..."
Gavin was left frowning, and that was when a black car stopped outside the manor.
Jon Lane alighted and flinched when he saw his father and brother waiting outside the door. "What are you doing here?"
Ron, however, quickly asked, "We told you to get Madam Lang, didn't we? Where is she?"
"She's..."
Jon stammered, but before he could say another word, a haughty figure strode out of the door. "Heh. Welcome back, Master Lane."
"What?!"
Both Gavin and Roth were left
dumbstruck as they watched Yora approach, and they turned to see that on was hanging his head, his thoughts inscrutable.
"What's wrong?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Yora laughed coolly when she saw their surprise. "The Lane family never had the tradition of letting a woman lead the family. And since everyone's here, I'm making the announcement: Jon Lane will be the new head of the family.

"As for Helen Lane? Hah! She is now no longer a part of the family, three days, she would have to hand over her position as head of Lanecorp too."
Then, turning to Roth, she smiled. "In a few days, you will go to Lanecorp Tower personally for the handover, as you take over as board chairman." "What..."
Even before Gavin and Roth could speak, Yora led Jon into the manor, leaving father and son trading glances.
"Dad... What did Jon do?!" Roth growled, frustrated-was Jon really so eager to be Yora's puppet?!
