Chapter 276

Frank glanced inside the car at Viola and started towards her.

Viola flinched and trembled, as if she had developed a phobia for the man.

“What are you doing, Mr. Lawrence?” Alfredo asked warily.

“Freeing her acupoints, unless you’re going to do it?” Frank shot him a look.

Alfredo stepped back awkwardly, while Frank tapped Viola’s acupoints twice, clearing it.

Viola could instantly feel the pain, her body fading, and inhaled deeply in relief.

Nonetheless, Frank quietly said with murderous coldness, “This is just a lesson. Disrespect. Helen again, and you’d be dead.”

“No, I’d never do it again.” Viola quickly shook her head, utterly terrified by Frank’s torment.

With that, Frank turned to leave, while Alfredo frowned in his wake.

“The kid’s really full of himself…” he muttered.

“Shut it. Die all you want–don’t get me involved,” Viola snapped at him right then.

Alfredo quietly hung his head, while Viola was staring warily at Frank and breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that he did not hear them.

After Frank returned to Skywater Bay, the Salazars seemed to grow content with staying in line, refraining from harassing Helen or Vicky.

There was no telling if Frank had broken them, or if they were just putting together yet another cunning plan….

Days later, Frank woke early as usual to train when he got a call from Winter.

Ever since Winter bumped into Frank at Noel York’s concert, her impression of him improved and she did not think of him as badly as her brother.

Either way, he was an amiable person, and she was very willing to befriend a person with such influence.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Lawrence? May I ask what you’re doing at the moment?”

“Me? I’m just relaxing at home. Is there a problem?” Frank asked, curious since it was the first time she called him.

“Uh… It’s my birthday,” Winter said awkwardly. “I invited you too. Don’t you remember?”

“Oh… Ahaha…” Frank chuckled to hide his embarrassment. “Are you kidding? Of course I remember. I bought something for you online, but it hasn’t arrived. I’m waiting until it’s delivered before I come over.”

“Wow. you’re bringing me a present? What is it?” Winter asked in curiosity.

“You’ll know when the time comes.” Frank chuckled.

“Very well,” Winter said just then. “I’ll send you the address. You have to come later, okay?”

“That’s for sure.”

After hanging up, Frank quickly called Trevor Zurich. “Hey, I need your help preparing a present. The sooner, the better.”

He certainly needed Trevor’s help when it mattered!
