Chapter 61
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Jackie gulped and promptly throw his hands up when he saw the horrific glare in Vickyâs eyes. âI was just joking, Ms. Turnbull. Donât take me seriously.
âJoking, was it?â
Vicky, however, picked up a steel pipe, adjusted her grip, and swung it at Jackieâs head, drawing blood:
instantly!
Jackieâs goons started forward but stopped in fear when Frank shot them a look.
Argh!!!â Jackie cried even as he clutched his head. âAlright, Iâm sorry, Ms. Turnbull! Iâll pay you right now.â
Vicky shot him a glare of contempt. âAs you should. Now wire it right now.â
This time, Jackie did not hesitate to bark at his secretary to transfer the money.
Once Vicky received it soon enough, he wiped his sweat and asked, âWeâre even now, Ms. Turnbull.
So, can you just goâ¦.?â
не âSure, but I did say Iâd make you wish you were dead.â
Vickyâs eyes flashed murderously, and before Jackie could understand what was happening, Vicky swung the steel pipe up Jackieâs crotch!
âArgh!!!â
A bloodâcurdling scream resound over the factory, and Jackie passed out in agony.
Frank pursed his lipsâeven he felt a chill between his legs from that swing.
âLetâs go.â Vicky waved and led Frank and the others out of the factory.
Naturally, none of the goons nearby dared to stop them.
A breeze blew outside the factory. Vickyâs clothes flapped against the wind, giving her the bearing of a mafia boss.
After they got in their car, Frank turned toward the bruised and battered Cliff and said flatly, âRaise your arm.â
Cliff was surprised but did as he was told.
Frank held his arm and suddenly clenched!
âArgh!â Cliff yelped.
âIâve realigned your arm for now,â Frank said, âthough you should see a doctor at the hospital anyway.â
âTâThanksâ¦â Cliff said, studying Frank for a while and eventually asking, âYou knocked off my collar button before, didnât you?â
âWhat?â Frank asked, perplexed.
Cliff inhaled deeply. âWhen we sparred at Turnbull Villa, I noticed afterward that my collar button was gone. Did you knock it off?â
He had found out afterward that the button had been dislodged, strings and all. However, it was not until today that he truly saw the depth of Frankâs power that he realized Frank was the one who had knocked it off.
Frank nodded in turn. âIt was me.â
Cliff was at once humiliated and could hide right then. âWhy did you hold back?â
Frank shrugged. âOut of respect for Ms. Turnbull, whose family you serve.â
Vicky glanced at the rearview mirror in turn. âAlrightânow that weâve all acknowledged each other as allies, never belittle Mr. Lawrence again, Cliff.â
In fact, she brought Frank here to collect Jackieâs debt just to show Cliff the extent of Frankâs strength, or Cliff would really think himself peerless.
Naturally, they more or less took him down a peg as well.
âCertainly not.â Cliff nodded.
After some thought, he added, âThat being said, Ms. Turnbull, the Salazars will definitely come after us now, especially after weâve crippled one of their own.â
