Frank rolled his eyes again. "I didn't do anything to Helen."Even so, Gina pointed at him and snapped, "I'm warning you. I'm suing you if anything happens to her!"Helen was exasperated. "That's enough, Mom. Frank and I weren't sharing a room."She actually had a lot of questions for Frank, but it seemed she had to give up now that her mother was here."You passed out drunk!" Gina snapped relentlessly and dragged her away right then. "Come on. We're going to the hospital—who knows what he did to you."Helen was speechless—would she not know if anything had been done to her?Still, just as they stepped out of the hotel, Gina said, "You really should stop seeing Frank—it'd be bad if Mr. Wesley sees this.""So what if he does? We're just friends," Helen retorted.She actually believed that Frank could be trusted. And if it really was true, she would not forgive Sean for drugging her, no matter how much he had done for her."Are you really stupid?!" Gina snapped in disappointment
Susan was worried that Frank and Vicky were getting frisky!As her direct subordinate, Cliff had already told Susan all about Frank's abilities and was actually surprised that the normal-looking boy had such talent."Then what are you worried about?" Vicky tilted her head."It seems that you weren't listening to anything I'd told you." Susan sighed in disappointment."I'm an adult, Mom," Vicky's tone slowly turned sharp just then. "I know what I'm doing."Frank certainly noticed the awkward vibes in the room and said gingerly, "I'll be going if there's nothing else…""Hold it," Susan snapped coolly."Yes, ma'am?" Frank asked, slowly turning towards her."We need to talk," Susan said, putting down her cup of coffee.She had been doing a thorough investigation on Frank over the last few days after all. After realizing that she was not the lowlife she believed him to be, she decided she could at least give him a shot."Feel free," Frank said, spreading his arms.Susan slowly go
"I owe you an apology for this," Vicky told Frank solemnly. "I hope you won't mind it. And whatever happens in a year, I'll transfer all my shares of Riverton Pharma to you."Frank was perplexed, though he noticed the bemusement and helplessness in Vicky's eyes. "You don't seem convinced I could surpass the Lionhearts," he said.Vicky sighed, a look of wariness showing in her gaze. "You won't succeed even for a decade, let alone a year. They're far scarier than you'd ever imagine."Frank smiled in silence in return.After all, he was far scarier than she would ever imagine, too.He got up, bidding her goodbye and started to head back to the hotel, though he sneezed violently twice just as he stepped outside the doorway."Who the hell was badmouthing me?" he growled.-Meanwhile, Sean was lying quietly in a room within Riverton Hospital, his body covered in bandages.He had only regained consciousness after being thoroughly beaten up. He only regained consciousness during the
Sean was astonished.Gulping, he promptly greeted Finn, "Mr. Chandler. Apologies for my rudeness.""I've had you brought here because I have some simple questions," Finn said, fiddling with the butterfly knife he was holding."You need just ask," Sean promptly replied. "I will give you everything I know.""Frank Lawrence killed my boy Leo, so I'm here for revenge," Finn said evenly. "Tell me everything you know about him—who he is, where he stays. Everything. But if I find out that you lied..."Finn suddenly slammed his palm on the table, breaking it in half with a loud bang!Sean flinched in shock, but he was already celebrating inside since he had been troubled on how he was going to kill Frank.Truly, there would always be someone out there with the same plan in mind!"Don't worry, Mr. Chandler—I will definitely tell you everything you know. Frank Lawrence was Helen Lane's ex-husband, and he knows nothing aside from some paltry martial arts. Still, he managed to hook up with
Gina promptly pleaded to Sean, "Please, Mr. Wesley! Tell Mr. Chandler that we had nothing to do with Leo's death!""Yeah! Weren't you the one who had him killed?" Peter chimed in. "And you know people from the governor's office, don't you? What's there to fear about them?""Haha!" Sean laughed out loud, not bothered to keep up appearances just then. "How stupid can you be?! Fools! If I could pull strings with the governor's office, I would own Riverton already!"Gina was stupefied—she always thought Sean was influential enough to neutralize Leo. "What? You didn't call the governor's office? Then who did?""How the fuck should I know?" Sean snorted.Helen was frowning just then. "Were the Ichor Pills you gave my grandfather real?""Oh, those were just vitamin pills," Sean scoffed in disdain. "Cost me just twenty bucks, so it's hilarious how your entire family treated it like treasure.""Please, Mr. Wesley, y-you have to help us!" Gina cried even as she shuddered. "You helped Hele
A blood-curdling scream resounded in the office.Even Gina turned away, unable to look.Helen was herself crying and wheezing, her vision glazed over by tears as her prided beauty was now gone!"So? Are you going to talk?" Finn asked, clearly showing no intention to stop as he placed his butterfly knife on Helen's other cheek.However, he frowned when he realized that Helen was utterly silent and her gaze was completely blank. He knew right then that the woman was broken—he would not be getting anything out of her now.Instead, he turned toward the cowardly Gina instead, and she promptly begged, "P-Please, Mr. Chandler… let us go—""I won't ask the same question twice," Finn simply growled, handily pressing his butterfly knife on her cheek!Gina shuddered violently and actually wetted herself. However, just before Finn sliced into her screen, she screamed on top of her lungs, "He was staying at the penthouse suite of Verdant Hotel last night! I don't know where he is today! That
The door was quietly opened as two black-clad men quietly stepped inside, their eyes narrowed amid the dim environment.Pow! There was a thunderous crash as Frank suddenly appeared and kicked one of the black-clad men!The man felt as if he was hit by a truck and instantly felt his spine snap as he passed out!"Fuck!" the other black-clad man cursed and whipped out his steel knife, swinging it at the source of the sound.He moved so quickly he left a gust as he moved, but Frank could judge from the air movement to determine where he was coming from.He stepped to the side, allowing the keen edge of the blade to brush just past his hair.Then, he clenched his knuckle and punched with the force of a missile.Pow!The second black-clad man was hence sent flying and slammed violently against the wall, coughing blood as his chest was left sunken."W-What are you…" He leaned against the wall as he panted heavily, caught in disbelief by Frank's power.He could not even see Frank,
Frank whipped out his phone and dialed Chad's number.Chad, who was still at The Dynasty, just happened to be in the bathroom when he got the call.He hesitated to answer but did so after some thinking, keeping his voice down. "Hello? Mr. Lawrence?""Helen is in The Dynasty, isn't she?" Frank asked bluntly."Well…"Chad was at once bewildered—did Finn not just send his men after Frank?Guess that was a dud, and now, Frank's question would determine which side he was on.Finn or Frank?Chad certainly had no idea—he really just wanted to sit on the fence and join the side of the winner… On the other end, seeing that Chad was not talking, Frank said coolly, "Just tell me—yes or no. If you're telling the truth, I'll spare you when I get there, and you'll remain the kingpin of West City."Those words struck a chord within Chad.If he served Finn, he would only amount to a lackey given that Finn himself answered to the Chandlers.But if he served Frank, he would be the king of W
