"Why are you pretending, Cindy? You're the one who thought of this whole thing! If you weren't so greedy and intent on getting payback on Helen all at once, you'd never be here! And now you're trying to run?! Well, it's too late!"

As soon Peter saw that Cindy was ready to flee, he caught her immediately and bellowed furiously, "Look at this one, everyone! She's the mastermind-we were all gaslighted into doing this!" Seeing that everyone's frag was directed toward her right then, Cindy was flustered and turned to slap Peter right then.

"You prick!" she snapped. "You ran away as soon as you conned Aunt Gina, and you would never have come back if that land lot's value didn't skyrocket and Kit Jameson didn't force you! Well, understand this -we lose nothing even if we gave up on that land, but you'd be dead if you don't get it back soon!"

"You slapped me?!" Peter bellowed back and wrestled Cindy as everyone watched, chivalry hardly a concern to him just then.

In turn, Cindy clawed at his face with her long nails, leaving bleeding scratches all over his face.

"That's enough!" Helen bellowed, having had enough of her own family beating each other up and making a scene as her employees watched. "Get them out of here, Frank!"

Peter flinched at Helen's outburst but quickly scrambled to his feet, grabbing Helen's leg as he pleaded, "Please, sis! I'm your brother! You have to save me! You can't just do nothing-Kit Jameson will kill me if I don't take back that land lot! I'm begging you!"
