Chapter 156
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
âWhatâ¦â
Neil was gritting his teeth in disappointment, but he soon glared viciously at Frank. âYou win this time.
Now give me the antidote.â
âWhat?â Frank shrugged. âNeither of us agreed to provide antidotes.â
âWâWhat are you talking about?â Neil stared at Frank in blank disbeliefâwas Frank going to let him die?!
Frank shook his head. âIâm sorry, Mr. Turnbull. But Iâm under no obligation to help you.â
âFrank Lawrence!â Paul strode up to him, barking, âKnow when not to push itâthink of your future, wonât you?â
âHaha!â Frank laughed without a care. âAre you really talking about the future? Itâs already a question as to whether he survives tonight.â
âGuhâ¦â Paul was immediately left stumped.
At the same time, Neil was tearing up in agony and crawled toward Walter to hug his leg as he cried, âPlease, Uncle Walter⦠save me! Make him give me the antidote! Iâm going to die!â
Walter was left at a loss, but he had no choice but to turn toward Frank with a pleading look. â Please be magnanimous this once, Mr. Lawrenceâdonât get petty with Neil. Why not just give him the antidote?â
Neil was his brotherâs sonâhe could not bear to see the boy die in front of him.
âNeil understands that heâs made a mistake, doesnât he?â Walter added.
Neil nodded repeatedly, but Frank remained unmoved.
Susan snapped right then, âWhy are you just standing there, Frank?! Give Neil the antidote, or youâre not leaving this house if this bad!â
goes âThatâs enough from you, Mom,â Vicky said, stepping forward. âNeil was the one who proposed that they compete with poison. He has no right to blame Frank now that he proves lacking.â
âReally?! Youâd rather watch as your cousin dies?!â Susan was growling through her teeth.
Les was already killed here in Riverton!
If Neil died tooâand in their house at thatâthere was no telling what Glen would do!
Vicky turned toward Neil, grinning just then. âYouâve lost this one, Neil. You have no right to meddle with Grande Corpâs operations.â
Vickyâs smug expression certainly left Neil gritting his teeth in rage. âFine, I wonât interfere. Now can you give me the antidote?!â
Vicky walked up to Frank and asked humbly just then, âI know Neil was full of himself, Frank, but spare him this one time for my sake.â
Frank shot her a look. âHe wanted me dead from the start, didnât he?â
He had no sympathy for people like him who wanted him dead. In contrast, he would not go that far if it were just a thug who wanted to show off a little.
Still, Vicky knew Frank and took his hand, tugging as she purred, âOh, do it for me⦠pretty please? Iâll properly make it worth your while tonightâ¦â
âAhemâ¦â Walter quickly cleared his throat, trying to have his daughter stay in line.
There were so many people around them!
Frank was left sweating as wellâVicky really knew no limit, did she?
And seeing that everyone was giving him weird looks, Frank quickly said, âTell him to get on his knees and apologize if he wants to live.â
Vicky turned toward Neil. âHeard that? Get on your knees and apologize to Frank.â
Neilâs face was purple as he clenched his knuckles and growled, âWhat did you say?â
