The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Still, Frank could only hope that Gina would turn over a new leaf.

He would not expect Gina to become a saintess, but she could at least stop causing trouble for Helen and leaving her hurt.

Nodding, he sighed exasperatedly. "I will."

"Hmph."

On the other hand, Cindy said nothing, merely snorting with a look of disappointment before turning to leave with Gina.

Peter tried to do the same, but Frank caught him by the back of his collar. "Did I tell you to leave?"

His icy, murderous tone left Peter's expression alternating from surprise to terror, until he finally tried to force a smile. "Bro—"

Frank slapped him across the face even before he could finish, leaving him seeing stars even as he was sent flying and rolling across the floor.

His cheek swelled with deep bruising right then, and he sat up when he came to his senses.

"No, wait... Frank, please don't-"

Still, fear showed in his eyes again as Frank advanced on him and tried to flee, but only for Frank to catch him again.

"You've been out of touch, Peter." Frank grinned. "And here I thought you'd wisened up and left to build something for yourself, but you prove to be the same piece of shit as you've always been."

Frank slapped him again, leaving Peter with a cracked, bleeding lip amid the crisp slap and knocking several of his teeth out.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Holding up his hand to shield his face, Peter howled and sobbed, "Please, brother! I didn't want to do this! It was Larry Jameson who set me up, making me rack up a 200 million dollar debt at his illegal casino. I don't have the money! It's the truth! It's all Larry and his brother's fault!"

Seeing that Peter was finally begging, Frank flung him to the floor and snapped coldly. "Go. Take me to Kit Jameson."

"What? Why?!" Peter exclaimed even as he clutched his face, wondering for a moment if he had misheard.

Even Frank's security team were trying to dissuade him, having heard of Zomber Group's notorious name before. "Please, Mr. Lawrence! Calm down!"

"Yeah, we should plan this carefully. We could ask Ms. Lane."

"What, is Zomber Group that well-connected?" Frank asked, frowning slightly.

"Exactly." One of the security guards hurried to him.

He had knowledge of the factions that ruled Zamri, having been in the city for a while.

"The Three Bears of Zamri are the

major players in the city," he told Frank quietly. "One of them is Zomber Group's Larry Jameson, who is well-connected and has the Blood Wolves' support, meaning that he controls both legitimate and illegitimate businesses."

"On the surface, Zomber Group owns establishments like hotels and karaoke bars, but they also control illegal casinos and other illicit

businesses, including net

killing! You'd be walking straight into

a literal wolves' den!"

Clearly, the security guard only knew about Zomber Group and tried to dissuade Frank because he had no idea what Frank was capable of. "Hmm... The Blood Wolves, you say?"

Frank rubbed his chin, realizing with a start and kicking Peter on the rump right then. "Move. Take me to Kit Jameson right away."
