Helen was awash with emotion that Chaz would hold their past bond in such high value.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Graves..."

Chaz suddenly asked in curiosity, "By the way, who's Frank Lawrence to you?"

"My ex-husband."

Chaz nodded in realization. "Oh! I did hear that you were getting married, but I was abroad so I couldn't attend your wedding. What a shame! I heard he was a lowlife and freeloaded your family for three years without working a proper job, though—why bother saving him?"

Helen was left at a loss but soon smiled blissfully when she remembered Frank. "He's nothing much, but I was happy with him. It was a mistake divorcing him and I regret it, but he's still been good to me. That's why I'm hoping you would help him—he was framed."

Chaz nodded, not expecting her to think that highly of Frank.

Still, it was just a matter of bailing Frank out anyway, so he whipped out his phone right then. "Don't worry, Helen—I'll make the call right now."

He promptly called Burt, even putting the call on speakerphone so that Helen would have ease of mind

"Hello, Officer Yorkman? I'm Chaz Graves," he said politely when Burt answered.

Burt paused for a moment. "Yes, Mr. Graves? What can I do for you?"

Chaz smiled, "It's no big deal—it's just that you've arrested a friend of mine. Would you mind doing me a favor and releasing him?"

Burt naturally had to accede since Chaz was heir to the Graves family. "May I ask who your friend is?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Frank Lawrence."

Burt did a double take. "Him again?"

Chaz was left confused. "What? What's wrong, Officer Yorkman?"

Helen only knew too well why Burt would be surprised, since Vicky Turnbull had already called Burt about Frank.

"It's nothing," Burt said. "I'll release him since you've asked.”

He actually would not have bothered even if it was Chaz's father asking before, but things were different now.

Frank was taken away by a group of actual soldiers, and what was the harm in earning himself a favor from the Graves family? Making more enemies would be bad for his health anyway.

"Good." Chaz was delighted that Burt was that agreeable. "I'll prepare a banquet in your honor someday. Please do come when it happens.”

"Thanks for your invitation, Mr. Graves. I'll be there.”

And with that polite exchange, both men hang up.

Helen's tense mood was relieved too, and she kept bowing to Chaz. "Thank you so much, Mr. Graves."

"You're being a stranger again, Helen. Come on—let's eat." Chaz shrugged nonchalantly, as if it was nothing to him.

Meanwhile, Hans Schnee had told his men to return to base while he drove Frank to a nearby hotel for dinner.

"Mr. Lawrence, how about that hotel? The place looks nice.”

Frank was riding shotgun and looked through the glass wall into Hoff Hotel and saw that it was indeed a nice place.

However, his eyes soon narrowed as he noticed the two people by the window seat.
