Chapter 82
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
Frank whipped out his phone and dialed Chadâs number.
Chad, who was still at The Dynasty, just happened to be in the bathroom when he got the call.
He hesitated to answer but did so after some thinking, keeping his voice down. âHello? Mr. Lawrence?
âHelen is in The Dynasty, isnât she?â Frank asked bluntly.
âWellâ¦â
Chad was at once bewilderedâdid Finn not just send his men after Frank?
son.
Guess that was a dud, and now, Frankâs question would determine which side he was on.
Finn or Frank?
w just wat Chad certainly had no ideaâhe to sit on the fence and join the side of the winnerâ¦
On the other end, seeing that Chad was not talking, Frank said coolly, âJust tell meâyes or no. If youâre telling the truth, Iâll spare you when I get there, and youâll remain the kingpin of West City.â
Those words struck a chord within Chad.
If he served Finn, he would only amount to a lackey given that Finn himself answered to the Chandlers.
But if he served Frank, he would be the king of West Cityâ¦
And after having a taste of power, it was virtually impossible to let go of it.
In that case, why not make a bet?
If he won, he might even become Frankâs confidant, if not rightâhand man!
Hence, though he was sweating buckets, Chad ultimately gritted his teeth and said, âYes,â
Frank nodded. âGood. You get to live.â
Chad then quickly added, âFinn Chandler brought a lot of people, Mr. Lawrence. Heâs well prepared and he was after you in the first place. I really think you shouldnât fight here at The Dynasty-â
Beepâ¦.
Chad had no idea if Frank heard him.
Frank had hung up before he could finish and quickly called Trevor.
âYes, Mr. Lawrence?â Trevor asked reverently.
âItâs confirmed. Helen is at The Dynastyâbring your men along,â Frank said flatly.
âRight away, sir,â Trevor replied right then.
It was already very late, and Vicky was going to be asleep when she received a call from one of her people.
âMs. Turnbull? Trevor Zurich has just brought all his bodyguards with him to The Dynasty.â
âWhat? What is he up to?â
Vicky was taken abackâTrevor himself owned several bars, so why would he go elsewhere?
âIâm not sure, but they are all armed to the teethâ¦â
âWhat?!â Vicky paled, and promptly called the staff at Verdant Hotel.
If she had to guess, Trevorâs sudden move must have something to do with Frank. Those two were obviously close friends, although Vicky had yet to find out their connection.
A receptionist answered Vickyâs call right away, âYes, Ms. Turnbull?â
âGo to the penthouse suite right now. Check if Frank Lawrence is in his room.â
The receptionist sent a bellboy without hesitation, who was left dumbstruck as soon as he stepped in the front door.
âMs. Turnbullâ¦â
âWhat is it?â
âThere are two dead bodies here, but Mr. Lawrence is nowhere to be seenâ¦â
âShit,â Vicky cursed and sprang out of her bed, gathering all the people she could and hurried to The Dynasty.
Meanwhile, Frank had arrived outside The Dynasty and met up with Trevor.
âDo you know what he looks like?â Frank asked coolly.
Trevor showed Frank a photo and gave Frank a brief rundown on what he knew. âFinn Chandler fourth son of the Chandlers from Middleton, somewhat competent. However, heâs also Marvin Chandlerâs bastard.â.
âIn that case, letâs kill him.â
