Three years after getting married and striking it rich, the lady who scorned her husband’s incompetence and divorced him realized afterward that he was the golden ticket she never deserved! “Sign this to finalize your divorce if you have no further questions,” the woman in a flowery dress said as she pushed a sheet of paper toward Frank Lawrence. They were seated at Lane Manor, and Frank’s sharp brows furrowed as he stared at the divorce agreement before turning to the woman who was his mother in law, Gina Zonda. “What’s this?”
Chapter 80 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 check. 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’s all I know…” Sean was immediately furious–so Frank took Helen away last night to have her himself! He was furious remembering Helen’s usually holier–art–thou attitude. She would not have ended up getting involved with so much messy stuff if she had given in to him from the start! If anything, she deserved to be disfigured! At the same time, Finn clapped Gina on the cheek in satisfaction. “Your family will live if you’re telling the truth. But if you lie, you’d wish you were dead.” Gina shook her head repeatedly. “I’m not lying. It’s the truth… It’s all true…” Finn turned toward two of his henchmen, who nodded and headed to Verdant Hotel immediately. Frank was doing his usual morning routine in Verdant Hotel when Trevor suddenly called. He answered immediately, “Hello?” “We have a problem, Mr. Lawrence,” Trevor promptly said from the other end. “Ms. Lane never made it home after work this evening, while Gina and Peter were abducted as well.” Frank frowned right then. “Abducted? Who was it?” “I’m not sure my people can’t locate Ms. Lane just yet.” Trevor sighed. “But I received word that – one of the Chandlers has arrived here at Riverton.” “The Chandlers?” Frank asked. “Leo Grayson served as an underboss for them,” Trevor explained. “In fact, he made it big in Riverton mostly thanks to the Chandlers. Now that you’ve killed him, they’re most likely coming after you.” Frank nodded solemnly, his eyes narrowing as he growled murderously, “Animals.” Trevor then said, “The problem right now is to find out where Ms. Lane is.” Frank suddenly looked up at the door and said calmly, “We’ll find out soon enough. Just get your people to wait on standby.” With that, Frank hung up, and flicked his fingers, launching a sliver of his vigor and popping the chandelier in the room.
Chapter 79 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 F*** 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 Helen get that project from the Turnbulls, didn’t you? Even if you don’t care about us, you should care about Helen!” Sean laughed again as he shook his head. “Hehe… The West City project? I would’ve taken it if I could! “That has nothing to do with you?” Helen gasped in surprise. “No!” Gina cried in disbelief. “We were there when you called your father to talk to George Turnbull!” Sean was clutching stomach even as he guffawed. “Honestly, calling you people fools is putting it lightly! Did you think my father held sway over a bigwig like George Turnbull? I don’t mind telling you, though–Frank Lawrence was the one who killed Leo, so tell us where he is, and Mr. Chandler here just might spare you!” He was not about to get caught in the crossfire now that Finn wanted revenge against Frank and the Lanes. It was a shame that he would miss out on Helen, but she now belonged to Finn–Sean would certainly never dare to lay a finger on her now. If anything, cutting ties with the Lanes is the best policy! On the other hand, Helen was totally disappointed. To think she was convinced that Sean stood up for her every time she was in danger… to think that she was even moved to tears!” “We don’t know where Frank lives!” Gina cried right then. “Helen divorced him so long ago. We don’t even know the man!” Finn, however, walked up to Helen and grabbed her by the chin. “You’re Helen Lane?” “Yes, she is,” Sean quickly said. Finn nodded in satisfaction. “Well, you do have me where Frank is. You’ll walk the looks–How tall away with your life, or even everything you want.” “Kill me if you want,” Helen said, her tone calm and her expression neutral. “I caused all this. It has nothing to do with Frank.” “Haha! It seems you’re really attached to him!” Finn laughed. “I love people like you who show spine. but how long would that last?” He whipped out his butterfly knife right then and pressed it against her cheek. “Last chance. Talk, or you’re losing your pretty cheek.” Helen looked downward in fear at the blade and struggled, but the two burly goons behind her held her firmly in place! “Helen, just tell him,” Sean said softly from behind Finn–the way he saw it, Frank was not worth losing her beauty for! Helen simply glared at him in disdain before spitting on Finn’s face! “You’re brave.” Finn pursed his l*ps and pressed his knife firmly, cutting a gash over Helen’s face! “Argh!!!”
Chapter 78 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
Chapter 77 “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
Chapter 76 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 surprised that the normal–looking boy had such talent. “Then what are you worried about?” Vicky tilted her head. actually “It seems that you weren’t listening to anything I’d
Chapter 75 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. “Mr. Wesley proposed to you! He clearly likes you!” “So what?” Helen returned calmly. “I didn’t say yes, and I don’t like him.” “What’s wrong with you?!” Gina poked her in the head. “Love doesn’t put food on the table! Money is money, and the Wesleys have plenty of it. That’s reality.” “Whatever. I don’t need you to tell me who to choose.” Helen waved Gina off impatiently when she noticed something unusual about her mother. Gina was never a morning person and was usually lethargic after waking up. Now, however, she was positively exuberant. “What’s with you? You look so spirited,” Helen said. “Uhm…” Gina was taken aback. However, it was only natural she was spirited after a long night of stormy passion, not to mention that it had been a while. Hiding her face in her palm, muttering in embarrassment, “N–Nothing…” Helen was puzzled but did not press the issue, and they drove away from the hotel. Chapter 75 Still at the hotel, Vicky was just stepping out after putting on her clothes and found Frank. “So, your darling left?” Frank looked at her in turn. “You didn’t do anything to Helen, did you?” “Har, har. I’m not interested in her, though I don’t think that was the case for you.” Frank shrugged. “Gina snapped at me, saying she’s taking her daughter to the hospital for a checkup. She vowed to sue me if there’s an issue.” Vicky rolled her eyes. “Does she think that her daughter is some sort of divine treasure?” Frank sent Vicky home after breakfast, but they had just entered the drawing room when they found Susan sitting there angrily and waiting for them. “Where have you two been?” she demanded right away. “Don’t worry, Mom,” Vicky replied noncommittally. “No one can lay a finger on me with Frank around…” “Do I look like I’m worried about your safety?!” Susan snapped angrily.
Chapter 74 Helen made a face. “Sorry. I’m not used to sharing a bed. “Tut, tut… How innocent.” Vicky clicked her tongue, but soon realized something. “So you never shared a bed with Frank while being married to him? Does that mean he’s a virgin? Well, your loss.” Helen was immediately upset and snapped through gritted teeth, “You’re delusional–we already did it.” Then, rubbing chin as if in recollection, she added, “He’s good. You can try him yourself when you have the time.” Vicky pursed her l*ps, her visage flashing coolly for a moment before she laughed. “That’s alright- being experienced is fine. I’d rather not have virgins myself.” However, Helen sharply noticed the cool look on her face and was satisfied to one–up her. “Really? Then take your time. I’ve gotten bored of him already.” With that, Helen strode out of the room and breathed a long sigh, feeling disappointed even though. she had won this round. After all, she and Frank never did it–she did not actually have anything over Vicky. “You’re up?” Frank appeared just then, startling Helen. “Y–Yeah… What are you doing here?” she asked, patting her chest to calm herself down. “I’m heading downstairs for breakfast. Do you want some?” Frank asked, doing his best to keep his tone even. “I–I’ll pass,” Helen replied, keeping her lowered in thought. After a while, she asked, “Frank, did you send for Dan Zimmer when Rocco McCoy locked me up?” Frank shook his head. “Nope. Rocco himself sent for Mr. Zimmer.” “What?” Helen was totally confused–then why would Dan admire Frank so much? Still, she was now positive that Frank was the one who had saved her grandfather and said, “Anyway, thanks for helping Grandpa.” “I owe him–I’d save him no matter what it takes,” Frank replied. Helen nodded. “Also, about yesterday… I didn’t know Sean would propose. that your Frank sighed lengthily. “I have no right to meddle with your decisions on who to marry. That said, I’d still rather you show some judgment when it comes to character–I won’t mind telling you whiskey was drugged yesterday.” “What? Who did it?” Helen paled in shock, though it was not surprising when she thought about it. Even if she was not a particularly good drinker, she should not have passed out so quickly! “I didn’t see him do it, but it’s most definitely Sean,” Frank said. “Thank you,” Helen said earnestly. She remembered that Sean had been respectful in every way in the past. While she was not certain that Sean had drugged her, she was now wary against him. Just then, Gina stepped out of her room. After a night of stormy passion, she appeared spirited and revitalized. Spotting Helen with Frank right then, she promptly strode up and pulled Helen behind her. “What are you doing here?!” she snapped. “What were you doing to my daughter?” Frank rolled his eyes. “You’re getting the wrong idea. Both of you were drugged–I brought you here to help you.” “Help me?” Gina paled when she remembered what had happened last night. She thought she was drunk and slept with a gigolo by accident, but it turned out to be Frank’s fault! And since she was not immune to drugs, it went without saying for Helen! She shrieked maniacally right then, “What did you do to Helen?!”
Chapter 73 In the next room, the bellboy had put Gina in bed and was about to leave when a pair of arms wrapped around him firmly. Then, he heard a gruff moan behind him. “Oh… handsome… Come on…! The bellboy turned to see Gina’s middle–aged face looking clearly aroused. He was a man, but he was not that desperate–though he would not have hesitated if it was that babe from before. This hag, however… Still, he lowered his gaze on the stack of bills he had been given. So that was why he was given such a generous tip! There was a catch after all! The man was left weighing between his principles and money… and eventually gritted his teeth. “Fuck it. Guess I’ll take this for the money!” Throwing aside any vestiges of dignity, he turned and jumped on top of Gina! Frank and Vicky hurried to the next room but could already hear the cries of pleasure from the doorway. Vicky raised her brow. “Guess we’re too late… Are you going in?” Frank smacked himself on the forehead and sighed exasperatedly. “Oh, forget it.” He quietly left, with Vicky swiftly following- Frank asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going home?” Vicky simply lay down on the bed. “Of course not. I have to take good care of dear Helen tonight.” Frank sighed exasperatedly as he sat on the couch. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen between me and Helen even if you leave.” Vicky snorted. “You never know. Even if you have no such intentions, she might. Frank shook her head. “Whatever. Stay here all you want.” With that, he got up and started to leave. “Where are you going?” Vicky asked. “Getting another room,” Frank replied. “Didn’t you say all fees are waived for me on all Turnbull business?” Chapter 73 “Fine. ” Vicky would have a peace of mind as long as Frank was not alone in a room with Helen. 272 As Helen slowly stirred early next morning, she immediately found herself staring at Vicky’s ravishing face. She thought she was dreaming and almost fell off the bed. She was immediately alert and promptly climbed back on the bed as she realized that it was not a dream. She then looked down to find herself n*ked, while Vicky had a sleeping gown on! Searching her memory, she realized she only remembered being at The Dynasty, while the rest was a blank. Did Vicky do this for revenge? She thoroughly felt around her lower b*dy but noticed nothing out of place, just as Vicky stirred. While she yawned and ran her hand through her fluffed hair, Helen demanded, “What did you do to me?” Vicky did a double take before turning to Helen. “Hey, don’t give me that pervy look now–I don’t swing that way.” Helen snorted. “Then what am I doing here?” Vicky shrugged. “Frank brought you here.” “And where is he?” “In another room.” Helen breathed a sigh of relief–she guessed she was fine. She frantically picked up the clothes on the chair and promptly got dressed, though Vicky was smiling as she studied Helen. “What’s the hurry? I’ve already seen everything last night.”
Chapter 72 Vicky had no intention of letting Helen get frisky with Frank, leaving him speechless. Still, he quietly moved to the driver’s seat and drove to Verdant Hotel, where he quickly carried Helen to his room. Behind him, Vicky was still holding up Gina and asked, “Hey, what about this one?” “Take her to another room,” Frank replied flatly. “I’ll tend to her later.” Vicky pursed her l*ps. “Trying to send me away? Dream on!” She looked around, locking on to a bellboy and snapping, “Over here, kid!” The bellboy promptly ran up to her and asked respectfully, “Yes, ma’am. How can I help?” Vicky whipped out a stack of hundred dollar bills and shoved it at the bellboy. “Get a room for her and let her settle in–do that, and the money is yours. If anything bad happens, you’ll be held responsible. The bellboy’s eyes widened–it was the first time he had been given such a generous tip! Nodding repeatedly, he said, “Don’t worry, ma’am. I’ll take good care of the lady.” With that, he took Gina off Vicky’s hands, while Vicky promptly turned to run into Frank’s room. Frank was just putting Helen in bed, her gaze seductive now that her usual haughty was gone. As she repeatedly brushed her cheek against Frank’s arm, Vicky asked, “What on earth did Sean drug her with? It’s so effective.” Frank rolled his eyes. “You’re a woman too. You can leave–there’s nothing to see here.” Vicky shrugged. “Exactly. I’m a woman, not an idiot.” Frank ignored Vicky and leaned forward just then, holding Helen’s hand and reaching for her clothes just as Vicky strode up to him. “What are you doing?” “Acupuncture. That means clothes off,” Frank replied. Vicky pouted. “I’ll do it. “Then hurry,” Frank urged. Vicky quickly undressed Helen, though she also groped Helen’s breasts. “Passable. But still not my level, I’m afraid.” That was when Helen suddenly got up, catching Vicky off guard–wrapping herself around Vicky, she jammed her l*ps squarely on hers! Vicky shoved her away right then, snapping in disdain, “Eww! I don’t swing that way–get off.” Frank rolled her eyes and drew out a needle. Vicky held out a hand. “I’ll do it.” “Can you really?” Frank asked skeptically. “I know my martial arts and basic acupuncture,” Vicky replied. “Just tell me where to insert the needles.” Frank thought about it, and handed over the needles to Vicky. “Put the first one on the abdomen. The next will be on the nape…. Soon, after just five needles, Helen appeared a lot less aroused, leaving Vicky clicking her tongue in wonder. “You’re quite something.” “Ya think?” Frank was speechless. Vicky giggled and suddenly asked, “So, who is the fairer between us?” Frank turned in reflex toward the n*ked Helen. They had been married for three years, but this was the first time he was observing her like this. Moreover, Vicky and Helen were completely different. Vicky was naturally charming with a hint of loftiness, whereas Helen was naturally haughty with a hint of charm. They were two completely different people with each their virtues. “Both of you are beautiful,” he said just then. Vicky snorted contemptibly. “Hmph. More like you want both of us… by the way, are you having your mother–in–law undress for acupuncture as well?” It was only then that Frank remembered about Gina. “Wait, where is she?” “I handed her over to a bellboy,” Vicky admitted awkwardly. “Huh…” Frank’s jaw dropped, a little scared to imagine what would happen just then!
Chapter 71 Even as Sean was left utterly confused, he was clutching his head and pleading, “Argh!!! Please, stop Stop hitting me, Scarface!” However, Chad himself kicked Sean a few times before running toward Frank, quickly denouncing Sean in fear that Frank would think he was on Sean’s side. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Lawrence. I
