Chapter 269

“Who let you in here?!” Gina snapped, scowling as soon as she saw Frank She was convinced that he must have come to laugh at them, given their current state.

“Shut it. I told him to come,” Henry said, rising to his feet.

Gina promptly rolled her eyes at him. “Do you even understand what’s happening? Why would you call that jinx her “I asked him to help discuss how we’re going to resolve this crisis,” Henry replied.

Gina snorted at Frank. “What, him? What can he resolve?”

“Stay quiet, will you?” Henry snapped, glaring at Gina before hurrying to Frank. “We’re in trouble now.

You were my grandson–in–law, but I must ask your help to pull some strings and see if you can get us through this crisis.”

Frank said calmly, “Don’t worry. Your family will be fine as long as I’m around. Viola will be here to apologize personally soon.”

“Really? That’s wonderful!” Henry was delighted right then he knew Frank had that much influence, even if he tended to hide it.

Nonetheless, Gina snorted nearby. “Hah! You’ll get Viola to apologize? Who are you, her father? You’re so full of it–know your limit even if you want to boast!”

Chris laughed as well. “Be more self–aware, kid. There are things you really shouldn’t say.”

What could that piece of shit do when even Chris himself could not get Viola to apologize?

On the other hand, Helen stared at Frank, her lips parted as if ready to speak, but ended up only sighing.

Frank wheeled on Chris just then, growling coldly, “You actually showed your face here, bastard?”

“Watch your mouth,” Chris retorted, completely unafraid.

“Who do you think you’re talking to?!” Gina snapped at Frank in turn.

Peter quickly joined in as well. “Mr. Steiner is here to help us, and you have the balls to snap at him?”

Frank snorted coldly. “You’re all in this mess because of him, and you’re still treating him like treasure?

Idiots.”

“What are you talking about?!” Peter snapped furiously, though he was afraid to attack Frank.

“He dresses the part of some bigwig, but he’s no more than Viola’s boy toy,” Frank said as he pointed at Chris. “That red diamond necklace? It’s Viola’s–he gave it to Helen because he’s obviously into her.

Why else do you think Viola would brutalize Helen? Do you still think this bastard is here to help?”

“What?!”

Everyone was left stunned and turned toward Chris in disbelief.

고향 After all, Gina and the rest were convinced Chris was some rich bigwig who had money and talent, not to mention that he was loyal to Helen.

Was he really just Viola’s boy toy…?

Helen turned toward Chris, ready to demand the truth, but Chris was already glowering and snapping at Frank, “That’s bullshit! You’re just slandering me!”

“I’m slandering you?” Frank glared at him in disdain. “I saw you with Viola at Skywater Bay with my own eyes, sucking up to her like a labrador. You call that slander too?”

“Shut up! You’re just making that up!” Chris cried.
