Chapter 127
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Vicky and Peter had naturally metâit was back at Verdant Hotel, when Peter thought Vicky was a whore Frank paid for, He was certainly surprised to find out that it was actually the complete opposite⦠but that was all history anyway.
Right now, Peter was going to start working for Vicky, though he would not mind being her manwhore either!
Vicky, however, was feeling her blood boiling when she saw Peter.
âYâYouâre the person Greg Marsh recommended?â she asked, holding out a fraction of hope.
Peter nodded repeatedly, crushing her hopes right then.
âIs Janet Zimmer your girlfriend?â she pressed.
Peter shook his head. âNot at the momentâ¦â
Vicky frowned. âWhat do you mean, ânot at the momentâ?â
âOur families met to discuss an engagement, but things werenât finalized,â Peter said. âBut trust me, I am the right man for the job. I will assist you with body and soul and bring the Grande Corp to new heights-â
He did not notice that Vicky had clenched her knuckles. Even before he was finished, she already had enough and punched him squarely on the nose!
âAre you fucking serious?! Trying to pass off shit as gold?!â she snapped, finally realizing that Dan would never be interested in that loser!
Janet Zimmerâs groomâtoâbe?! That was all bullshitâGreg must have told Dan that Peter was her personal consultant, which was how he tricked Dan!
âOof!!!â Peter grunted, dropping to the floor as blood gushed out of nostrils. âPâPlease, Ms.
Turnbull⦠Give me a chance âGet out!â Vicky snapped.
Peter wheeled on Frank right then. âDid he say something to you, Miss Turnbull?! Donât listen to him!
Heâs a loser with nothing going for him!â
âI told you to get out, didnât you hear?!â Vicky snapped, launching a kick with her heels on his face!
âFrank, get him out of here.â
At those words, Frank grabbed Peter by the collar and dragged him to the elevator, but Peter kept calling out, âPlease, Ms. Turnbull! Give me a chance!â
However, once the elevators closed and Vicky was out of earshot, Peter wheeled on Frank. â You!
What the fuck did you tell Vicky Turnbull?!â
âNothing,â Frank said calmly.
âFuck off! Then why would Vicky agree to give me the job yesterday and throw me out today?!
âBecause she didnât know it was you.â
âYâYouâre lying! You must have told her something!â Peter yelled, clearly not giving up and never once thought that he was incompetent.
Furious, he lunged at Frank, ready to give him a beating⦠only for Frank to grab him by the neck even before he reached Frankâs shirt!
As the elevator doors opened, Frank called out to two security guards. âGet him out of here.â
Both security guards promptly grabbed Peter and started to drag him outside, even as he screamed, âLet me go! Let me go! Donât you know who I am?! Iâm Helen Laneâs brother! She owns Lane Holdings!â
