Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Chris chuckled. "Oh, it's nothing… It's no big deal at all."Henry and Frank entered just then, and Helen quickly told Henry, "You have nothing to worry about now, Grandpa. The sanctions against us have been lifted.""Really?" Henry did a double take and quickly realized that Frank did it since he was just on his phone. "Well, we really owe Frank for that."Frank nodded—it seemed that Donald had caved, and Viola would soon be here to apologize to Helen.Gina, however, snorted in disdain. "Him? What does it have to do with him? It's all thanks to Mr. Steiner that the sanctions were lifted!""Impossible," Henry retorted. "Frank was on his phone just now, and the sanctions were lifted soon after.""Haha!" Peter laughed as he pointed at Frank. "He made a phone call, and it's done? Who did he call, Donald Salazar? Who does he think he is?""Exactly." Chris laughed. "What are you going to say next, that the Salazars would come to apologize now?" "What if I do?" Frank replied flatly.

Gina nodded repeatedly. "Absolutely. Former classmates should help each other—it's only right.""Pfft. Him, telling the Salazars to apologize? Who does he think he is?" Frank snorted in disdain."You're just jealous." Chris chuckled coolly.Even if he actually did nothing, it did not matter as long as the Lanes believed him.Frank glared at him with contempt. "Jealous of a lowlife like you? Really?" "Shut up!" Gina bellowed right then, her finger inches from his nose. "You, calling another person a lowlife?! You're the worst there is! Freeloading from my house for years!"Peter nodded beside her. "Exactly—he even has the balls to slander Mr. Steiner. Get out of here already!""Stop it already, Frank." Even Helen was snapping at Frank in disappointment."Stop what?" Frank asked, frowning. "I've been telling the truth all this while."Helen glared at him in turn. "The truth? Are you saying Viola came to apologize because you told her to? That her family lifted their sanctions b

Frank glanced inside the car at Viola and started towards her.Viola flinched and trembled, as if she had developed a phobia for the man."What are you doing, Mr. Lawrence?" Alfredo asked warily."Freeing her acupoints, unless you're going to do it?" Frank shot him a look.Alfredo stepped back awkwardly, while Frank tapped Viola's acupoints twice, clearing it.Viola could instantly feel the pain, her body fading, and inhaled deeply in relief.Nonetheless, Frank quietly said with murderous coldness, "This is just a lesson. Disrespect Helen again, and you'd be dead.""No, I'd never do it again." Viola quickly shook her head, utterly terrified by Frank's torment.With that, Frank turned to leave, while Alfredo frowned in his wake. "The kid's really full of himself…" he muttered."Shut it. Die all you want—don't get me involved," Viola snapped at him right then.Alfredo quietly hung his head, while Viola was staring warily at Frank and breathed a long sigh of relief when she sa

If Frank's present was not valuable, Zeb was definitely going to mock him for it.As such, Winter said, "Uh… It's fine. I'll open it when I get home."Behind Zeb, a boy who had dyed his hair pale blond, quickly said, "Come on, Winter. I heard the man drives a Maybach—that present would at least be worth a hundred grand, don't you think?"Naturally, Blondie was Zeb's lackey and was obviously trying to mess with Frank despite his flattery.Zeb in turn chuckled. "A hundred grand? Are you belittling Mr. Lawrence now? The Cartier watch I bought for Winter is worth the same. Surely Mr. Lawrence's present is worth twice as much.""That's true."In reality, they were all just university students, and a present as expensive as that was more than enough. Zeb's watch was already an oddity.Aria was eager to see if Frank was generous too. "Exactly, Winter. Open it already. I'm curious!"Winter was actually fairly patient, but everyone was getting on her nerves.On the other hand, Frank wa

Zeb finally smiled at Blondie's words—he was happy with anything, as long as Frank embarrassed himself in front of Winter!Blondie hurried up to Frank right then, exclaiming, "Yo, Mr. Lawrence! Why are you drinking juice alone there? Us dudes should be drinking liquor!"Frank shook his head. "I'll pass. I'm supposed to be driving."Zeb guessed Blondie's plan just then and quickly joined them. "Hey, I'm driving too, and I'm drinking. We could just call for a designated driver if we have to—it's disrespectful to Winter if you don't drink on her birthday, right?"Frank studied the two boys who were suddenly so enthusiastic.It would be strange if they were not up to something bad.As for Winter, she did not drink, but her brother Fred often did—she was convinced that men liked to drink.Moreover, she did not want to see Frank sitting there alone and reasoned, "Why don't you have a drink too, Mr. Lawrence? I'd think you're being abused sitting here by yourself. Don't worry—I'll get
