Frankie was pushing Rebecca’s wheelchair personally as the family of four arrived at the edge of the crowd.

They didn’t get too close, afraid that someone might accidentally bump into Rebecca, so they stopped a short distance away, where they could vaguely hear the conversation taking place.

Keira was surrounded by a few people from the Horton Group, blocking her from their view. Everyone was in suits, and the women were in formal attire, so they couldn’t immediately spot her.

Only through the conversation of the surrounding people did they get a vague understanding of the details.

Frankie said, “It seems Miss Olsen is helping to drive that woman away. Rebecca, you should stay hidden for now.”

That woman…

Rebecca nodded, but she wasn’t willing to move further away. She said to Frankie, “Brother, go and see what’s happening quickly. That woman is very fierce. Don’t let Miss Olsen get bullied. I’ll wait for you here.”

Frankie then left his parents to look after Rebecca, as he squeezed through the crowd, walking toward Jake and Keira.

As the surrounding people saw him, they respectfully greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Allen.”

Jake also said immediately, “Mr. Allen, don’t worry. I’ll drive this woman away immediately, so you guys won’t be bothered.”

He stopped being polite and directly commanded Arian, “Go call security.”

Frankie, keeping in mind his sister’s instructions, first looked at Isla. Seeing her holding her own wrist, he frowned immediately. “Miss Olsen, are you hurt?”

Once his sister saw this, she would definitely feel upset!

When Isla saw him showing such concern for her, she was overjoyed but still replied modestly, “Just a minor injury. Keira didn’t mean it…”

However, Frankie’s frown deepened.

That woman dared to hit someone?!

He gave Keira a disgusted look and harshly said, “Don’t you want to purchase raw materials from the Allen family? I can sell it to you, provided that you kneel and apologize to Miss Olsen immediately, knocking your head on the ground three times!”

Frankie didn’t like Isla, so he obviously wouldn’t stand up for her over such a minor incident.

But he didn’t want the situation to escalate and become widely known since he couldn’t hold this woman accountable for her slanders against his sister in the past.

Now that he had finally caught hold of an opportunity, he used this as an excuse to ruthlessly punish her on his sister’s behalf.

It was to make her pay the price for her malicious words!

Keira narrowed her eyes.

This Frankie was pushing his luck!

Jalen was also enraged. “Mr. Allen, whatever grudges you hold, to resort to such humiliation is too much!”

Jake also felt it was a bit over the top, so he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Allen, Isla has already let it go. After all, they’re sisters…”

But Frankie wasn’t backing down. “I’m a person that places importance on the principle of the matter, and I don’t have as generous a heart as Miss Olsen.”

He was staring directly at Keira, his face expressionless. “Believe it or not, if you can’t satisfy me, I can make it so you can’t buy raw materials within the country! Your little company will go bankrupt!”

Originally, he wanted to stall for time and delay their delivery, causing them to lose some compensation money.

But now, he wanted to go all out!

It would be a matter of minutes for a large corporation like the Allen family which had existed for several generations to crush Keira’s small company. It would be too easy!

Keira stared at him.

Allen was very gentle and polite to her when they first met.

She really couldn’t understand why his attitude suddenly changed drastically.

Did this man think she could only purchase raw materials domestically?

Keira tensed her jaw, sneering, and just as she was about to say something, the frosty voice of Lewis rang out, “Is Mr. Allen really that capable?”

He had gone out to make a call and was finally back. As soon as he walked through the door, he saw Frankie and Keira confronting each other, so he strode over to Keira and stood between her and Frankie.

Frankie stared at him. “Mr. Horton, kindly refrain from interfering in the matter between us.”

But Lewis replied indifferently, “What if I insist on interfering?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Frankie wouldn’t back off, and his expression darkened. “In that case, I need to reconsider the partnership between the Horton and Allen families!”

When these words came out, it alarmed the people from the Horton Group.

Jake quickly added, “Uncle, you can’t switch the company’s interests for a woman!”

Arian echoed, “Right, Mr. Horton. Jake and his fiancee have put in a lot of effort to maintain a good relationship with the Allen family. Even if you don’t want to improve the relationship, how could you pull us down?”

Hearing this, the other executives of the Horton Group murmured in agreement, although they dared not speak out loud.

Seeing this, Frankie calmly explained, “This woman has once caused my sister unbearable pain with a few sentences, so I have to teach her a lesson. Mr. Horton, are you determined to be enemies with the Allen family?”

Frankie never wanted to confront Lewis. Given Isla’s intervention, he had even been considerate toward Jake by not breaching Lewis’s bottom line.

But for his sister, he could disregard any consequences!

Even if he would be reprimanded by his aunt when he went back to Clance, he wouldn’t hesitate!

The executives present couldn’t resist starting to voice their opinions.

“Mr. Horton, since this lady was the first to hurt Miss Allen, then if Mr. Allen wants to vent his anger, he has the right…”

“Right, we are guests after all.”

“Mr. Horton, can’t you consider the group’s best interests…”

Tom, who was following Lewis, was getting a little anxious at this point. He muttered quietly, “Boss, everyone is siding with Jake right now. If you keep up the strong attitude, I’m afraid you might provoke everyone’s anger.”

Keira, who was standing behind Lewis and had been listening to their conversation all along, felt perplexed.

She stepped forward and said, “Mr. Allen, I really can’t figure out how I actually hurt Rebecca. Why not ask her to come over? Whatever the issue is, we can discuss it face-to-face!”

Isla immediately replied, “Keira, Miss Allen is a patient now and it’s inconvenient for her to be moved about. How can you ask her to come over? Isn’t this just making things difficult for Mr. Allen?”

However, Lewis responded steadily. “Indeed, we should invite Miss Allen over to clarify the issue.”

Frankie frowned. “She’s not very comfortable…”

His sister didn’t want to face this woman who had bullied her.

But just as he finished speaking, his father’s voice echoed from the crowd. “Frankie, let your sister spell it out to avoid misunderstanding. They may think we, the Allen family, are bullying people.”

With that, he pushed Rebecca’s wheelchair toward them from the back of the crowd.

Being watched by so many people, Rebecca tilted her head and seemed a little shy to lift her head.

Seeing his sister like this, Frankie was heartbroken. He glared at Lewis, “Mr. Horton, after my sister explains the situation, I hope you’ll keep your eyes open. You shouldn’t blindly protect some societal scum!”

He squatted down, pointing at Keira. “Rebecca, don’t be scared.. Look at her and tell everyone what this woman has done to you!”
