The scene is witnessed by Daniel and troy that sat inside the car holding a tablet, Daniel continue feeling a slight proud seeing Helena dark thoughts of ruining Lee's legacy if she is not able to obtain it. Too evil just as how he likes it.
Troy doesn't seem unfazed by Helena's conniving words that she threw to Francesca, as he had witnessed her ruthlessly giving Daniel a blow on his head to knock him out. Thinking about the matter still scares Troy whenever he saw Daniel, however one can only wished for something before universe plan to destroyed it.
"Who hit me on the night i was drugged?" Daniel is always the smartest, and that is why George Anderson prefers him to inherit Anderson Corp rather than Cade, however Daniel prefers to build his won legacy not relying on the Anderson's unless he is involved to shut the rest of the family's member when Cade was name the successor. The power struggle within the Anderson family is too great, one of the reason now everyone in the family knows of Helena's identity to protect her from the scheming distant cousins and the rest of the foxes in the family.
Troy felt the temperature inside the car dropped as he try to arrange a perfect words to uttered, the more he tried the more he felt his words stays inside like a lump sticking on his vocal cord.
Slowly finding his courage that has to be forced to come back from hiding, he closed his eyes and explaining to Daniel the entire night ordeal.
"i see.." his answered is too short and sounds dangerous, making Troy sweats starts forming like a puddle ready to be splashed. He looked out of the window to see if situations escalated for the worst, will he be able to run to the exit door for his life.
"She is not Helena" Daniel saying the words out loud puzzling Troy about the meaning behind it, however at this point, he doesn't seem to mind it as long as Daniel will not be punishing him by sending him to the country with no infrastructure.

A buzzing sounds of machine echoed in a small shop at the city, a man covered in tattoo meticulously handling the tattoo gun and wiping the skin after the needles poked through the skin. His eyes focus solely on creating the piece that Helena wanted on her rib cage right under her side of a breast down to her hip and upper thigh. The sketches paper was placed on the small table next to the tattoo artist for his reference even though he has draw the design using stencils on Helena's body. The design is created by Helena's herself which she believes represent her the most, a picture of a long haired women with a horn holding a cage with a bird flying out of the cage on her ribs, while a snake curled opening its mouth almost like trying to swallow the woman starting on her upper thigh trailing upwards to her rib.
The tattoo represents her as "Lilith" , while the bird that flew represents her second chance, a symbol of freedom, and the snake represent her passed that ready to devour her any given time. Colors upon colors used to make the tattoo vivid and lively, Helena sat through the process for a whole day enduring the pain and once its done she stand in front of the mirror inspecting the beautiful masterpiece, this is what she had always desire, her skin then wrapped with a water proof plastic bandage and she will have to come again for a touch up after a week.
Feeling satisfied, she walked out of the tattoo parlor and slowly she will take back what she wants, she has never intended to take Lee's Trading, even in the other life, she never made a move on them, since she always wanted to destroy her father legacy, inheriting it its much more time consuming rather then destroying it, she choose the latter. She always hated her father for bringing Lorraine and Francesca in her life, also hated how he wasn't a great father to her and let Lorraine decided her whole life and hide her from the public, so Francesca is viewed as the sole heir, but their happiness wont last very long, she will make them crumble little by little. She is petty for holding grudge after all. Now she just needs to recruit her own little team, to start moving forwards on her plan.
As of Ethan she wont be looking for him, she wont inflicted him more pain than he already experience in the other world, she understand they are not meant to be together, he was a beautiful memory that she will treasure for the rest of her life.
