Chapter 1001
“You just have to tell us if you need money… Now, see? Your father was attacked and can’t even say who it was or demand an apology. You have to suffer because of your pride, messing with the unseemly sort.”
Although Mel’s words were sympathetic, her expression did not show it—if anything, there was a hint of contempt.
Frank could see that Nash and Kat’s relatives were treating them strangely. Pausing for a moment, he turned back to Matis and said quietly, “Listen to me. The man who attacked Nash is not someone you can mess with.”
“Really?”
Matis snorted in turn, releasing Frank and walking to his mother, snorting in contempt, “Did you hear that, Mom? He said I can’t mess with the man who attacked Uncle Nash.”
Kat walked up to Frank just then, watching him anxiously as she asked, “Who did it, Master Lawrence? You could at least tell me, right?”
Frank shook his head. “Ignorance is bliss, and it’s none of your business. I can handle it myself.”
“Shut up!” Mel strode up, sneering at Frank. “How dare you say that Matis can’t mess with them! Let me tell you this—my son is the CEO of Jundo Showtown! What, you haven’t heard of it? It’s a subsidiary of the Soranos’ estate and is worth billions. Even the rich and powerful have to show my son due respect, let alone some street thug!”
Mel was basically projecting an air of superiority as she spoke, while Matis had his chest puffed smugly too.
Mel then continued while leveling Frank a look of contempt. “Don’t worry, Kat. Matis will find justice for your dad—he’ll apprehend the culprit and cripple him. We don’t need some brat who came out of nowhere! If we let him deal with it, your dad would have suffered for nothing.”
“Mom, I don’t think that’s enough,” Matis said, shaking his head and glaring coldly at Frank. “We don’t even know him—he might be on the same side with the people who beat up Uncle Nash. I’ll call my people over to restrain him for a thorough interrogation.”
“That’s my son for you. He really thinks of everything!” Mel grinned happily.
On the other hand, Frank pointed at the door, having had enough of their haughty attitude. “Like I said, I’ll deal with this myself without your involvement. Leave now if you have no other business here.”
“Why do we have to leave? What, you own this place or something?” Mel rolled her eyes. “Do I need your consent to visit my brother-in-law? Who do you think you are?!”
“Does your conscience hurt? Is that why you want us gone?” Matis strode towards Frank menacingly.
Mel snorted coolly. “Maybe he just wants to hook up with Kat!”
“Are you done?!” Frank frowned and growled. “I’m doing this for your own good. If you’re really so eager for revenge and want to know who attacked Nash, fine! It’s Willy Sorano, so go after him if you can! If you can’t, then get lost!”
“What?! Willy Sorano?!” Matis and Mel were both stunned.
