Chapter 166
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Sean nodded in satisfaction and whipped out a debit card. âTake this money. Iâll call you if I need your help again⦠Either way, tonightâs going to be a busy night for me.â
âOf course, Mr. Wesley.â Greg smiled as he took the card.
Next door, Frank was shaking his head.
He knew Greg was a conman from the start, but to think that he was even working for Seanâ¦
âOh, Gina⦠I donât even know where to begin with you.â
Forty million was nothing for Frank, but it was definitely a big deal for Lane Holdings!
Sean and Greg parted ways after finishing lunch together.
Frank thought about it and decided to follow Greg, who was humming happily to himself as he got into his car.
âYou seem to be in a good mood, Mr. Marsh?â a voice asked from the backseat.
âOf course,â Greg replied nonchalantly, though he soon realized something was wrong!
He looked at the rearview mirror right then and found Frank there in the backseat!
When did that bastard get in?!
Stunned, he quickly tried to get out of the car, but Frank grabbed him by the neck from behind, rendering him immobile!
âUgh⦠What do you want?! I have no fight with you!â
âAmazing, arenât you? Tricking Gina for forty million?â Frank asked, his eyes narrowing as he studied Greg.
âHowâd you know?!â Greg exclaimed in disbelief, but soon did the math and said, âLook, man -youâre an enemy of the Lanes anyway. Why donât I give you twenty million, and letâs pretend nothing ever happened-â
Frank slapped him across the face, leaving Greg dazed as he bled from the lips.
Still, he kept bargaining. âOof⦠thirty million?â
Frank said nothing and slapped him again.
Greg could feel his cheek swelling, and some of his teeth were getting loose!
âWhat do you want?!â he cried anxiously.
âReturn the money and confess to Helen what you did right now.â
âWhatâ¦â Greg was hesitant.
Frank raised his hand right then, and Greg promptly shielded his cheek as he cried, âAlright, alright! Iâll confess, okay?! But I canât wire the money back right away since itâs been split and kept in different accounts, and some are in the form of shares. Could you at least give me a couple of days to do it?â
Frank glared at him and growled, âOpen your mouth.â
âWhat? Why?â Greg asked but did so despite his hesitation.
Frank then took out a small pill from his pocket and shoved it into Gregâs mouth. Then, he forced Gregâs jaw shut, making him swallow it.
Greg was left hacking as he cried, âWâWhat did you just give me?â
âJust a type of laxative, but your intestines will burst and youâll die, so return the money and confess before coming to me for the antidote.â
âYouâre crazy! Do you have to go that far for the Lanes?!â
Grèg was at loss for wordsâevery person in that family belittled Frank, but he would still suck up to them?!
âShut it,â Frank snapped angrily. âAlso, what were you talking about with Sean Wesley? What is he up to tonight?â
Greg gulped at that. âIâIâll tell you, but donât hit meâ¦â
âIâll kill you if you donât talk,â Frank growled, shooting Greg a glare.
Greg sighed exasperatedly as he gave in. âThe twenty million loan Gina took up for me is from a loan company that Sean owns. His thugs would supposedly visit Lane Manor to demand payment todayâ¦
and since Gina definitely canât pay up, theyâll take Helen as collateral. And Sean will be waitingâ¦â
