However, Zeb mused to himself for a moment before striding up to Vicky.At the same time, Cindy stayed behind him—it only took Vicky one slap to tame her.As Zeb reached Vicky, he held out a hand. "Allow me to formally introduce myself, Ms. Turnbull. I'm Zeb Larkin, and my father owns Zeb Trust."Vicky glanced at him. "What do you want?"Zeb smiled and brushed his fingers through his bangs elegantly. "So I was just thinking we could discuss the distributor's rights for the Rejuvenation Pill…""That can wait. The bid starts soon." Vicky remained impassive."Oh, you really are the Iron Lady of Riverton." Zeb continued flattering her, something which he happened to be good at. "Your work is precise and elegant, and I'm thoroughly impressed. I was wondering if you'd mind making an exception for me?"Vicky laughed coolly. "For you? And why should I do that?""Well, I've always been a fan," Zeb said. "I want to be a distributor for you, and not to make money. I've heard about your ac
Frank laughed coldly—he did not think he had to run into such shameless people."I've long since repaid every favor I owe the Lanes," he growled. "If anything, it's the Lanes who owe me.""Don't give me that crap and give me that recipe!" Cindy shrieked.She was at least smart enough to know that the recipe was worth a fortune, and she would eat well once she got it.She was not about to let Frank leave until she did!Frank glared at her icily. "Let go, or don't blame me for what happens next.""What? Are you going to hit me? Come on, do it!" Cindy shoved her cheek at him, pointing at it. She was convinced he would not do it!Frank snorted at her extreme brazenness and shoved her away."Oof!" Cindy gasped as she lost balance and fell backward.Still, Zeb managed to catch her. "Are you alright, Cindy?"Cindy was seething. "Did you just push me, Frank?! I'm a woman! Don't you know chivalry at all?""Gender is irrelevant," Frank replied flatly. "All I see are the good people
"What?!" Gina cried out, her face flushed with rage as she noticed the red palm print on Cindy's face. "Who has the balls to hurt my niece?""Who else?!" Cindy sobbed. "It's Frank Lawrence—I was just attending the Turnbulls' distributors' bid for the Rejuvenation Pill, but he slapped me just because he didn't like the way I look. It hurts so much!"Peter clenched his fists in turn.He never liked Cindy, but he hated Frank more. "That bastard is too much!" he bellowed. "He doesn't respect our family at all!""That's not all," Cindy quickly added. "He's been doing well for himself—he was appointed major shareholder of Grande Corp. So, I asked him about the recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill… but he laughed at me, and told me he'd never give it to me!"Gina was still caught in rage for a moment, but her mind cleared considerably when she heard about the Rejuvenation Pill recipe.After all, the Rejuvenation Pill was selling like hot cakes these days!Still, she asked, "Wait, why w
Frank laughed—so these two came all the way here just to demand compensation?"How much do you want?" he asked.Gina quickly said, "We don't want money."Frank was actually shocked. "You don't want money?"What was happening? Did the sun rise from the west?"That's right," Peter said, his hands in his pockets as he reared his chin, looking like he was doing Frank a favor. "You're the majority shareholder of Grande Corp, aren't you? Give us the recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill, and we won't press the issue."Frank scowled right then.So after all that drama, it turned out that these two only wanted the Rejuvenation Pill recipe."Dream on," he said with a snort. "The recipe has been given to Grande Corp. Go to Vicky if you want.""Cut the crap!" Gina snapped impatiently. "Do you know the recipe or not?"Frank nodded nonchalantly. "I do.""Then write us a copy!""No way," Frank replied, determined."Why?""Because the Rejuvenation Pill is now an exclusive patent of Grande Co
If Frank really wanted to hurt them, he would not wait until their divorce.Nonetheless, Gina snapped tempestuously, "Just look at you, defending that bastard even now!"Turning toward Peter, she said, "Show her the video!"Peter had long since downloaded from the car camera and quickly showed it to Helen. "See it for yourself if you don't believe us."Helen took the phone and saw that Frank was indeed arguing with her family before pushing her mother!She was immediately disappointed that Frank would do something like that. "What… How did this happen?""I told you, Helen." Cindy walked up to comfort her. "Frank is rotten. He's just pretending to be nice around you."Helen bit her lip and whipped out her phone to make a video call.Meanwhile, Frank, who had just finished his dinner and was going to visit Dan, was surprised by Helen's call.However, he answered it to find Helen's angry look. "Yes?" he asked."Why did you hurt my mother, Frank?" she asked heatedly with a frow
Gina snorted nonchalantly. "So what? What does that have to do with us?""Mom… Why are you like this?" Helen stamped her feet in frustration, but she could not do anything since it was her mother.She regretted her actions too—she really should have been more careful instead of blundering and questioning Frank.That was when Cindy strode up and asked, "You've already divorced Frank Lawrence—why worry about him? You should be thinking about how to get the Rejuvenation Pill recipe off his hands, and we will all be rich!"Helen wheeled on her shameless cousin, having had enough just then. "Stop it! No one is to ever mention the Rejuvenation Pill recipe ever again, or I won't hold back!"With that, Helen stormed upstairs, leaving Gina and the rest speechless."Honestly…" "What's with her? Why does she always side with some nobody?"-Meanwhile, Frank arrived at Flora Hall, where Dan was waiting with Janet in tow.They both approached him as soon as they saw him arrive."Welcome
Janet then added, "I'll get you a towel and other stuff so that you can wash up, Mr. Lawrence."Frank shook his head. "It's alright. I'll be cooking some pills soon.""What?" Janet exclaimed in surprise. "It's very late—aren't you tired?""This pill isn't that difficult to make." Frank smiled. "It'd be done soon enough.""Oh… But I'll get them for you anyway," Janet said and left the room.She soon returned with a set of toiletries before heading to the front doors, yawning.Flora Hall was not a hospital and did not operate 24/7.However, just as she was about to close the doors, two women suddenly charged inside. One of them was wearing a blue gown, and her face was pale, while the other, dressed in a form-fitting shirt, was helping the other woman stand."I'm sorry, but we're closed," Janet said.Liv Dawson, the one with the form-fitting shirt, turned toward Janet and quickly said, "Please, there are people after us. Let us hide here…"Janet was left shocked that somethin
The tattooed man did a double take.Someone that strong there was in this little apothecarium all this while?Frank stepped out to the lobby just then, with Janet hiding behind him.He was about to start cooking a pill, only to hear the commotion outside.He stepped out and saw in surprise the two goons chasing Janet, and he kicked them without holding back.He then looked around the lobby and found Kim and Liv as well."Who are you?" he asked icily. "You have some balls to cause trouble here." The tattooed man glanced at Frank but soon dismissed him as he barked, "Get him."His gang of goons promptly charged, while Janet cried in warning, "Watch out, Mr. Lawrence!"However, those small fries were completely insignificant in Frank's eyes.He shot forward like a bolt, dancing between the goons as he sent all of them flying with each one punch."Shit…" The tattooed man paled—so Frank was really strong!However, even as he watched his men fall one after another, he whipped ou
