GoodReadFrank walked up to greet Ned and thanked him, but he soon received a surprise call from Gavin Lane, Helen Lane's eldest uncle.
Gavin was a lot more cordial than Glen, asking politely after Frank answered, "Mr. Lawrence, may I ask how are things progressing with the farm? The financial statement is due in a little over a month. If you're in a bind, I could ask my father to give you an extension—" "An extension?! Why do you always have to side with outsiders, Gavin?!" Jade Zahn could be heard snapping from the other end.

I'm sure my father won't argue as long as we recoup sof the costs." On the other end, Jade was still not letting up. "It's Frank and Helen who were boasting about making money from the farm. Why should we help them-" "Jade!" Gavin barked, promptly silencing Jade.
"Ahem." He then cleared his throat. "Sorry about that, Mr. Lawrence." "It's alright." Frank chuckled. "And don't worry—I have everything all planned out for the farm. You'll be hearing about it in a few days, and I definitely won't disappoint you." "Haha!" Gavin laughed in delight. "That's good... That's very good. And I have faith you won't disappoint us." "Yeah. And thank you for calling just to remindabout that, but I have something else to do at the moment, So." "Oh, hold on for a moment!" Gavin promptly stopped Frank, asking a little softly, "I've heard that you'll be in Morhen for a while?" "Yeah," Frank replied, raising a brow as he was curious as to who told Gavin about that, though he soon realized it was probably Helen.
And to no surprise, Gavin chuckled. "Well, Helen toldthat in case you're wondering. Also, she and Luna will be going there as well for an on-site assessment of a subcontractor. You can drop by to check on them if you have the time." "A subcontractor.?" Frank paused for a moment, rubbing his chin.
It would take a few days before he could settle things with the Turnbulls, since he was waiting for Ciaran to contact him.
That meant he would be free for a few days, so he smiled and nodded. "Sure. I can make the trip.
"Alright, that's all I've called to speak with you about. I'm hanging up now." "Yeah." With that done, Frank eagerly called Helen.

Frank was a little miffed she would ask about Vicky at length. "Hey, m shouldn't you worry aboutfirst?" "Hehe..." Helen appeared nonchalant. "Would you have the tto callif you're not fine?"
Frank could hear that she was in a car and laughed exaggeratedly. "I heard from your uncle that you've cto Morhen to review a subcontractor or something. I happen to be free, so why don't we meet up? I have a story to tell since it's been an exciting few days for me."
