All Chapters of Nine Ungrateful Sisters: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"If you don't give me an explanation for this, I don't care whether he's Mr. Stone or Mr. Rock. My family will flatten the Northspire Gang," Amara threatened.Amara's threat only made Frank pick at his ear. "Sure, we're gangsters. But on the streets, rules matter more than anything. If your so-called heir had behaved himself, why the hell would we waste time messing with him?"He reached offscreen and dragged someone into view. A bruised, swollen Jason appeared before the two sisters."Go on," Frank said. "Tell your sisters what kind of outrageous crap you pulled."Jason glanced at the screen. Seeing only the two of them on the other end, he relaxed slightly. "Amara, save me! Save me! They got greedy! They want to kidnap me and extort our family! Don't fall for—"Before he could finish, Frank slapped him hard across the face. "You little bastard, still trying to twist the story?"He followed with a kick to Jason's side. Jason dropped out of frame with a cry."I remember he didn'

"And this is how the Northspire Gang treats its guests?"Frank did not care in the slightest. "Oh, don't be offended, Miss Bella. We're rough people here in Northspire. This place can't compare to the Chamberlain estate. If you don't want to sit, then forget it."That was his game. He had brought over a filthy chair on purpose to disgust her. He had never intended to let Bella sit."Enough with the nonsense," Bella snapped. "What exactly do you want before you'll release Jason? Money? A favor? Spit it out."She saw through the act and cut straight to the point.To her surprise, Frank reacted as if she had deeply insulted him.He slapped the table and stood. "What kind of talk is that, Miss Bella? Our gang did plenty of bad things before, sure. But now, under Mr. Stone's leadership, we've turned over a new leaf. We've abandoned darkness and chosen good. We're devoted to doing the right thing. These days, we even help old ladies cross the street."He glared at her. "What you said

The light on Frank's earpiece flickered again, signaling that someone was feeding him instructions."Fine. I'm not picky." He propped his leg back onto the chair. "As long as it's someone from the Chamberlains, anyone can crawl through. Do that, and I'll let him go. You may be short on male heirs, but you've got plenty of women."As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Bella. The filthy grin on his face drew the same crude laughter from the men around him.A man crawling through someone's legs was nothing. A woman doing it would be a spectacle.Bella's face flushed. "Frank, you've got a death wish!"He patted his chest in mock fear. "Oh, I'm terrified. Bella, I've got a temper too. I gave ground again and again. Your family is the one without shame."You want me dead? Fine. Try it. My life's cheap anyway. But if you fail, your family had better watch yourselves when you step outside."His eyes hardened. "Especially that Chamberlain brat. Before I die, I'll tear him apart."The look a

The Millers dared not spend money recklessly."You think way too highly of my appetite. How am I supposed to finish all that? And the fridge isn't even running. If I can't finish it tonight, it'll go bad by tomorrow," Oscar argued.Only after hearing that did Rebecca nod, though reluctantly. "Fine. You eat first. I'll eat after you're done."Oscar shook his head, took two bowls, and split the bone broth between them."There. Better?" she asked."I'm usually only supposed to eat a small portion, but now that you're here, my appetite's suddenly better. So I guess I have to take the bigger portion."That finally drew a smile from Rebecca. "Okay."The bone broth was nothing special, at least in Oscar's opinion. It did not come close to his own cooking. Even so, it was the best bowl of bone broth he had ever tasted."Yeah," he said after a sip. "This is good."Once she saw him drink, Rebecca scooped up a spoonful for herself. "It tastes just like it did last New Year. Grandma's coo

Bella could not understand why Amara was handling the situation this way. "I'm his sister. If he would do that to me just to spare himself a little pain, what do you think he would do to other people?"Jason had started the trouble, yet he did not even have the courage to face the consequences. So why was Amara letting him off so easily?"That's enough." Amara waved a hand impatiently. "You're a grown woman. Why are you arguing with a child? He just did not grow up in our household. He picked up some bad habits elsewhere, that is all. We will correct him over time.""But…" Bella stepped forward, her voice rising. "This is outright rebellion. Even that useless Oscar would never have done something like this. If he dares to rip my clothes today, tomorrow he will dare to rip yours. He will dare to do it to all of us. And what about what happened with Irene yesterday? I think he did it on purpose."She brought up the bathroom incident, how Jason had entered Irene's private bathroom.I
