The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Glaring at Cindy, Frank growled, “You better explain yourself when Helen wakes up.”

Cindy gulped in panic, completely avoiding his eyes.

Gina and Peter soon arrived at the hospital, with Gina left perplexed when she saw Helen unconscious. “What happened? Who could do this to Helen?”

“V–Viola Salazar,” Cindy said just then.

“Viola Salazar?” Gina was dumbfounded. “Why?! We never did anything to her! Why would she hurt Helen?”

“Yeah… Could there be a misunderstanding?” Peter quickly asked.

Suddenly Gina wheeled on Frank. “You upset her, didn’t you?!”

Frank was actually surprised that Gina would suspect him right away and snorted. “It has nothing to do with me. It’s Chris Steiner’s fault for two–timing, giving Helen that twenty million dollar necklace when Viola was the one who gave it to him.”

“Shut up! Mr. Steiner isn’t like that!” Gina certainly did not believe him. She considered Chris to be the paragon of men and would naturally believe him more than her useless former son- in–law!

Frank was a little annoyed but turned toward Cindy. “Ask her if you don’t believe me. She was right there when it happened.”

Gina turned toward Cindy too. “What happened, Cindy? It’s alright, you can tell me.”

Cindy’s eyes were evasive, and she kept stammering without finishing her sentence.

Even Peter was getting impatient. “What happened? Tell us!”

“Yeah! Was Chris really two–timing?” Gina asked.

Cindy gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t know! Ms. Salazar said Helen stole her necklace! I don’t know anything else!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

In a way, she was telling the truth since Viola never mentioned hurting Helen out of jealousy. Cindy actually had a hunch of Chris‘ relationship with both women, but she did not mention it.

From her standpoint, it was normal for men to cheat–only if they were rich.

In that sense, Chris was already much better than Frank, and Cindy had even more reason to hate Frank given how he threatened her just now.

He wanted Helen to forgive him? No way!

“Still not telling the truth, are you?”

Frank frowned and started toward her, ready to straighten her out..

“What are you doing?! I’m telling the truth!” Cindy promptly cried.

Gina promptly stood in front of Cindy and snapped at Frank, “That’s enough from you! How dare you try to hurt my niece!”

Frank growled through his teeth, “Well, I can’t do anything since none of you would believe me.”

With those words, he turned and stormed off.

Naturally, Cindy was immediately sighing in relief as she looked on.

Frank had just stepped outside the hospital when his phone began to ring-

It was a call from Trevor. “Mr. Lawrence? Where are you right now?”

“Riverton City Hospital. What is it?”

“The chief of South Alp Sect announced a hit on you… When did you make enemies of them?” Trevor asked in confusion.

“Today,” Frank replied quietly, rubbing his temples. “This kid named Troy Howard was yapping at me, so I had him beat up.”
