Chapter 274
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 because of you?!”
“Who else could it be? Him?!” Frank pointed at Chris. “You should have seen what he was doing. Did he dare to show his face when Viola was here?!”
“Enough!” Helen snapped, cutting him short. “You always spout such groundless nonsense. Don’t you feel ashamed?!!
He even claimed that Chris was hooking up with Viola, but it turned out to be all baseless! Frank inhaled deeply and asked quietly, “Did your family have evidence when they slandered. me? And you’re now saying that my words are groundless nonsense.”
“What…” Helen froze, but Frank was right.
She became convinced that Frank was Vicky’s gigolo when everyone said so.
In fact, she believed that even now, because Frank had been good for nothing through and through, in the three years they had been married.
Frank stormed out of Lane Manor right then, thoroughly disappointed in Helen.
“Frank, stop!”
Helen was going to give chase when Gina stopped her. “Why would you go after that lowlife?”
“Yeah, Helen–the sooner he’s gone, the better,” Peter reasoned. “Ideally, he’d stay away from us for the rest of our lives.”
“You and your mother are really two peas in a pod, one as short–sighted as the other,” Henry growled, shaking his head.
Even if he did not know what Frank did, if Frank said Chris did not help, then it must be so.
“Oh, what would you know, old man?” Gina snorted impatiently.
That was when Alfredo returned, and everyone promptly stopped arguing.
Gina hurried up to him, asking, “Yes? Is there something else we can help you with?”
“Where is Frank Lawrence?” Alfredo asked.
“Huh? Is something the matter with him?” Gina asked in confusion.
“I’d just like to ask when Frank would cure Ms. Salazar.”
“Cure? What do you mean?” Gina was left utterly perplexed.
“Mr. Lawrence demanded that Ms. Salazar apologize to Ms. Lane, and she has done that,” Alfredo explained. “He should hold up his end of the bargain and cure Ms. Salazar.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What?!”
Alfredo’s words were a bombshell that left every person in the room flabbergasted!
