Frank nodded. "Of course. We don't have to make the trip either—I'll just ask Jouri to record a video."Drunken Moon nodded. "Thanks!"Alda then went up to her. "It's rare for you to visit, Your Excellency. Why don't you stay for dinner?"Drunken Moon nodded again, not shy at all. "In that case, I shall take you up on your kind offer!"As evening approached, Jada and Moxxi were suddenly getting competitive again, with the former making cucumber salad and the latter coleslaw.Both were side dishes, so both were accusing each other of being copycats and insisted everyone tried both—the loser would have to do the dishes.It was an awkward scene, as they were all friends—who were they supposed to side with?Talk about a rock and a hard place!"Ms. Ingram, whose dish is better?" Jada asked as she slid a spoonful of her salad and Moxxi's coleslaw.Speechless, Alda turned to Frank.Jada raised a brow. "Why are you looking at Mr. Frankton? Just be honest. We won't get offended!"Ald
However, since it was decided by drawing lots, Jada and Moxxi had no choice but to accept it.They did not know the dish, but there were others who did, and there was the internet when all else failed.As both went to work, Alda frowned as she listened to the weird racket from the kitchen. "Are they going to set fire to the place?"Before Frank could answer, Meg assured her, "Don't worry. With Mr. Frankton around, they could set fire to the cottage, and it'd still be fine."Alda smiled, shaking her head and said nothing else.Soon, two large plates of pulled pork were on the table, and both actually looked like the real deal.As for the taste…After just a taste, everyone traded glances but did not say anything, because it was really nothing to brag about.However, neither Jada nor Moxxi noticed that, and they were both filled with confidence, thinking they would win.With that, they once again took the pull pork outside and asked anyone passing by to try it.The people watch
And with that, Frank ignored the pair and returned to his room.-The next day, he was woken up by a loud hollering outside.He stepped out to see a large crowd gathered outside the cottage, led by a pudgy woman in her forties who was yelling murderer and with various banners that bore the same accusations.Frank smiled in wry amusement. "What is it now?"Soon, Brenda, the pudgy woman, saw Frank leave the cottage and promptly snapped, "You! Those two women with you were your friends, weren't they?! My father ate their cooking and had a heart attack! You must answer this!"Frank was even more puzzled. "The ambulance arrived in minutes. How could he be dead? Stop spreading lies!"Brenda snorted. "He's in the ICU! It's just a matter of time."That only left Frank and everyone else confused.What the hell? So after all that hollering, the old man was not even dead?! And what was she doing here instead of staying by that geezer's side?!Brenda continued her hysterics nonetheless.
Brenda was no fool, as she knew she would not be able to defend herself if she took the first shot. Instead, she snapped at Jada, "Despite looking prim and proper, you're really a cheap skank who's willing to share a man!"Jada was not upset, even retorting, "Because I can. Also, who wouldn't want a piece of a man that hot?"You, on the other hand… Forget sharing a husband. Even after you're sold to a third world country, the only thing you have going for you are your kidneys."That really touched a nerve with Brenda—the truth always hurt more than lies, after all.Forgetting all restraint, she raised her hand, ready to sweep at Jada, but Jada's fist had already reached her. She was sent flying several paces away, crashing heavily on the ground, and she could not push herself up from the pain."Good!" Everyone else cheered."Y-You hit me! I'll kill you!" Brenda snarled at Jada through clenched teeth.Jada simply smiled. "It's called self-defense. Everyone saw that you're the
"Alright!" Jada nodded.Her frustrations aside, she still had to obey Frank's orders.With that, Frank left and soon arrived at the hospital and found that geezer named Albus.Even if he did not catch Albus' name before, patients did not stay for long at tourist spot hospitals, and it was even easier to find Albus since he was in the ICU.Frank slipped in, examined the geezer, and observed that his vitals were stable.It was therefore not surprising that Brenda and her gang were not worried about leaving Albus' side just to harass Jada—nothing bad was going to happen to the old man.As such, Frank did not hesitate to treat him before rushing back to the cottage, where Jada was at her limit.If she had not seen Frank rushing back from the distance, she would have started beating up Brenda and her gang.Once he reached them, Frank snapped, "How despicable can you get?! Your father is fine, and you came just to slander us!"Brenda promptly retorted, "Bullshit! He wouldn't be in t
Even before Laura could answer, the onlookers were snapping at Brenda, "Were you even listening?! The doctor just said you weren't answering your calls!"Brenda promptly whipped out her phone, and there were really a dozen missed calls.As such, she promptly threw a hysterical tantrum. "No… My father's very sick! He must be transferred back to the ICU!"Laura scowled. "Sorry, but medical facilities are always in demand. When a patient's condition is stable, it's the rule for them to be transferred out of the ICU.""In demand, my ass! There's no one here!" Before Laura answered, Jada snapped, "What now?! With that attitude, you'd be suing the hospital for keeping your father permanently in the ICU later anyway!"Furious, Brenda strode up, ready to slap Jada, but stopped herself as she remembered that Jada would win.Everyone who saw that was jeering at once."Well, your father's stable. What more do you have to say?""And here you are, running elsewhere to slander someone inno
Albus might be in stable condition, but his eyes were closed serenely.When Laura squeezed her way into the ward, she sighed—in the end, Frank was too naive and got scammed.In fact, Brenda was already gloating. "See? What else do you have to say now?! Honor your bet already and pay me that one million, or I'll sue!"Frank simply smirked. "Patience."He walked up and placed a hand on Albus' shoulder."What the fuck are you doing?!" Brenda charged forward, but Jada stopped her.Then, even before Brenda could get hysterical, Albus suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, clearly unsure what he was doing there."He's awake!"Everyone was at once surprised and delighted, while Laura was shocked.That was absolutely impossible, as the data suggested that it would be another two days before the old man recovered, so how did he wake up so soon?!Still, she soon remembered Frank's look of confidence… Perhaps he was some anonymous miracle worker and treated the old man
Laura had had enough right then and stepped up for Frank. "Could you stop bragging about your ignorance, woman? A stool test won't hurt your father, and his condition is stable so there won't be any problems!""What's your problem?!" Brenda promptly snapped her, not about to allow anyone to side with Frank. "You're a doctor, and my father is a patient! You should be helping us!"Laura was not about to play nice. She snapped, "I just can't stand slander. What, do you have something to say?"Furious, Brenda forgot how strong Jada was in the heat of the moment.Hence, as she strode up to Laura and was ready to slap her, Jada had already reached her and kicked her to the floor.This time, Jada did not hold back—Brenda could not get up at all and even coughed blood!Still, she refused to admit her mistake and kept snapping at Jada, "Y-You hit me! Just you wait… I'll have you thrown into jail!"Jada smirked. "Everyone saw what happened. You were going to hit the doctor!"The onlooker
