“Mr. Lawrence, may I ask who Peter Lane is?” she eventually asked.

“My ex brother-in-law.” Frank admitted.

“Oh, I see,” Vicky exclaimed in understanding. “Helen Lane.”

Frank nodded while she smiled. “I guess things have gotten unpleasant between you two! Would you like me to help a little?”

Frank glanced at her.

However, he had no intention of going that far despite despising that family, and he more or less had to show some respect to Henry as long as he was alive.
